Yeah I used to use hand sanitizer on my arm pits because I believed that the fragrance from the deodorant I had was too strong, therefore making me smell a lot worse when I started to sweat. So I started using rubbing alcohol first but then transitioned to hand sanitzer. Hand sanitizer is okay, but it only works for about 5 hours until I start to smell the B.O coming from my pits. But I still used it because it didn't give off a strong smell like deodorant does and it was just as effective
