Rohto Deoball Deoderant 24H is one of the best Japanese deodorants I have used. I tried stocking it up when I was in Osaka in 2019 but couldn’t find it. It was so hard to find. I ended up buying Deonatulle Soft Stone Double Deodorant instead. However, I did find Deoball in one of the Donki there but not the fragrance I wanted. I did buy it for the sake of stocking up. I have friends who are in Japan using Deoball and were also having problems getting it in Japan. I’m not sure about now. Maybe it’s discontinued.
Here’s my review of Deonatulle Soft Stone Double Deodorant.
I don’t remember how much I got this from Japan. I bought it at one of the pharmacies near our hotel. The whole rack was displayed with various variants of Deonatulle. I decided to just go for the most basic. The packaging I’m sharing here is the old packaging. The new packaging is similar.
Dryness Control
Many claimed that it can help in keeping your armpit dry but that’s not the case for me. I don’t really mind that. For the record, no deodorant or antiperspirant can do it. I gave up on this part already haha…
Odour Control
This is more important. I found out that it can keep the odour at bay for at least 48 hours even after showering (of course cleaning the armpit as well). I didn’t even need to apply it daily. I applied it once every 2 to 3 days or whenever needed.
Staining
It doesn’t stain my clothes. It does leave white marks if your dark-coloured clothes rub on it but you just need to dust it off. It also doesn’t darken my armpit or leave any residue on my skin.
Texture & Smell
The texture is soft and waxy. No wetness at all. Hence, you can just apply and wear your clothes immediately without waiting for it to dry.
As for the smell, it has a minty smell to it but it’s not overpowering. The smell doesn’t linger. It’s gone almost immediately after the application.
Overall, I think I will stick to Deonatulle now. Have been using it since 2021 (bought in 2019 *LOL*). It is easier to find than Deoball and works the same way.
You can easily get it online these days. Here’s the link if you want to buy it:
