Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

TheScribbler I use Wild refillable deodorants and find them really good.
wearewild.com

I've also got a code for a free case somewhere, if you or anyone else wants one.
(I think you have to start a subscription, but it's easy to cancel and I just buy the refills as I need).

Thank Carp, Wild are the ones I keep seeing on my social feeds, so it’s good to hear you find them good. Especially if you can manage a subscription service easily.

Please can you DM me the code - thank you.

Looks interesting Curly45. Though have to say I love my mooncup. It came to the North Pole with me and having zero waste was important there.

cackleberry am encouraging the families around me to take part. Think families tend to be most overwhelmed with disposable plastics?

I’ve just started using Fussy after seeing it on dragons den. Seems good so far. I’ve also tried the samples from Wild, they’re a lip balm size so easy to take away. Also have a voucher if anybody needs one.

Are any of them antiperspirant, or just deodorant?

I think they’re not strictly speaking antiperspirant but they do seem to work well, obviously the weather isn’t warm but my clothes seem to be a bit less stinky
