Dry Idea AdvancedDry: A Review, Giveaway & Sweepstakes

Thanks to Purex Insiders, I recently received the opportunity to try and review Dry Idea AdvancedDry!  Boy did I pick a great time to review a new Antiperspirant & Deodorant.  First I am 36 weeks pregnant (and hot, hot, hot) and we have had an entire week of 90+ degree temperatures in June!

Dry Idea AdvancedDry provides superior all day protection from wetness & odor.  It is available in Roll-on, Clear Gel, and Invisible Solid.  It provided 24 hour wetness protection, and is hypo-allergenic!

I used it for one week and I really like the product.  It kept me dry and I did not notice any odor.  Plus I really liked the light powder scent of the Roll-on product.  The Roll-on is fast drying and contains vitamin E, keeping my skin soft.  I am definitely going to continue to use this product throughout the summer.
