    I am a tussy user and now I can not find it any where, tussy is the only deodorant that really worked for me and I would love it if it came back ( the original formula) look, when you have a good product that works and has a demand for why not sell it and why mess with it let it be grand father in and let it continue to serve those who love it. I work in the business and If I could get that product in my store I would cause people ask and talk about it all the time, I am not the only one that is looking for tussy out there. In closing please bring tussy back it's missed dearly. thank you for listening......

    Alas, now Walgreen's isn't carrying Tussy anymore either. Makes sense since Ascendia went bankrupt in October '08 and Tussy was sold along with Dorthy Gray to KCM Brands, who, as yet, isn't restarting production. A loyal customer for 50 years, because it was only a deodorant and it worked, as was my father and mom before me, Tussy wasn’t Tussy under Ascendia. I kept trying the new and improved and gave up as many others have. KCM Brands please bring back the old unimproved version!!! Tussy was working perfectly for 70 years. Imagine, some items don’t need improving, especially when you change the key uniqueness of the product and make it like all others.

    Sadly, they've never sold Tussy here in Australia, what a shame ! On one of my many business trips to Mid West USA, I developed a nasty underarm rash from the stick deodorant I was using and was getting pretty rancid (Chicago in the summer is actually hotter than Australia). A young clerk in Walgreens in Gary, Indiana recommended Tussy, saying that only old folks seem to use it. What a champion yet highly underrated product. That rash cleared right up and I remain to this day a committed Tussy user. I always buy 10 or so little tubs of Tussy everytime I visit your fantastic country. Its safe, easy to use and smells fresh and clean.

    I've used Tussy cream for over 20 years. I had the problem of yellow stains on my shirts like some of you mentioned below. I did my own little testing - I bought about 15 different deodorant types, including a couple cream types. I bought Tussy too, as I knew my Mom still used it. After trying every type, what kept me dry and eliminated the yellow stains, was Tussy. I've been using it ever since. My Mom has used it all her life (she's 69) and my Grandfather did until he was in his 90's. Even my son, at 16, has found that it is the only one that works for him. Good news, all you old and grusty's! You can still buy it online! Every place that I used to buy it no longer sells it. I was frustrated and searched online and you can get it for $6.99 for a 3 pack at Amazon.com. The place that it linked me to was JustOTC.com. Their email is [email protected]. Hopefully they will carry it for a long time. Good luck!

    i AM 58 YEARS OLD, WHEN I WAS A little girl My Aunt used Tussy and got me started. Nothing I say Nothing works like Tussy. Where the hecht is it besides on ebay for 9 bucks! Isn't it always that way when a product is great and inexpensive they take it off the market for one reason or another.. Another product was SALT N Spice by McCormicks, They discontinued it and gave me a recipe to make it my self, I guess I should do that and start my own Salt n Spice business. Salt and Spice was our family favorite spice to add to just about everything now what, I have to make my own. Now I'll have to get the formula for Tussy. Anyone want to go in business? I hate these new and improved products especially when we are happy with the old. Did anyone ask us if WE didn't like THESE GREAT products? I'm pissed off and fed up.

    Be carefull using any deoderant products that contain Aluminum. Aluminum is known to accumulat in the brain and cause Altzheimner's disease. This product contains Aluminum Sulfate and Aluminum Hydroxide. It also contains Titanium Dioxide which is known to cause cancer. My mother used this brand of deoderant for many years and I even used it when I lived at home. She developed Altzeimer's disease around age 82. Who knows for sure but it's something to think about.

    Looks like the company filed for bankruptcy. I have used the roll-on for probably 20 years (I'm a male). It was the only one I found that didn't cause me to break out in a rash. I found a good supply at Walmart probably 6 months ago and stocked up. Well, I recently had to open a new one, and, what do you know. I broke out in my armpits, as my wife did also! I looked at the "new" ones, and it says "new and improved" right over the Tussy on front. Way to go Tussy. Guess I'll do without.

    I,too, have used Tussy roll-on for years and it is the only thing that works for me. I've been searching everywhere for it and it just seems to have disappeared! I just found it on Walgreen's.com for $1.00 a bottle and ordered 20! Same shipping 1-20 bottles, $5.49. Now, I'm set! Ellen

    I live on the Florida Suncoast and I cannot find Tussy roll-on anymore. Has the company discontinued making it? I looked at Wal=mart and CVS and local grocery stores and the whole Tussy section is missing. I would like to find a place to order it, or is it in the Cosmetics' Graveyard??????

    My mother used this as often as she could find it going back for decades. she made it clear to me that is was a deodorant not an anti-perspirant, which is what she wanted. As the years passed, I moved on to anti-perspirants to reduce the moisture. But - Mother knows Best. Many of the aluminum products in anti-perspirants have been implicated in breast cancer, alzheimer's etc. so now I have been using some products from Tom of Maine but I have started looking for Tussy again. I know it may not keep my dry but I will smell good.

    I have used Tussy Original cream deodorant since I was 12 years old -- that is 46 years. I have been worried the last few years that this product would disappear -- it's the only thing that works and doesn't break me out in a rash. Recently I bought a jar and immediately noticed a difference in texture -- it appeared to be whipped, rather than a cream. It was also slightly grainy. I immediately broke out in a rash and it was less effective. I compared labels and the formula had changed. Heaven forbid, I'm going to have be be a hermit now!! For me it was always 5-star, until now!

    The only one that works and is gentle-I am allergic to any other Ap's. It is not messy-goes on like a skin cream and dries fast. It has a lovely carnation scent and I am so upset that they seem to have pulled it from the market...LANDER CO-PUT IT BACK!!!!

    It is the best deodorant. I was using Toms of maine which now has taken out the effective ingredient since as they say "causes cancer." The New toms of maine does not do what the roll on did before and I have been trying every deodorant on the market. My daughter accidentally misunderstood what I wanted at the store and bought Tussy one day and have been greatful since. Walmart carries it but sometimes they are out. It does take time to dry and I use a blow dryer to dry it but I don't smell. I can go two days if not too much stress, which by the way causes us to smell. It does not keep my daughter dry but thought maybe the solid would. She sweats like a pig. No smell just very wet. Anyone know where to buy the solid. I found one site that has it on it but it is no longer available. Any ideas, I would appreciate it.

    I, too, remember my mom's cream. I always loved the spicy fragrance, and have been using the roll-on for years. You can't get anything cheaper or more effective. I used to get it for 97 cents per at Walmart's then couldn't find it there. So I ran into it at Family Dollar a couple of months ago and picked up 10 at $1 per. THEN, it appeared again at Walmart's. Go figure, but this stuff isn't disappearing any time soon!

    I have used Tussy roll on for years, My Mom used the creme form, It is gentle and clean smelling..now it is getting hard to find...what is the matter with with a product that doesn't have a lot of advertising and fanfare in the "youth market" which is what we as Senior Citizens have to deal with, a product that has proven itself over the years. And of course, it has been reasonably priced, so there goes another reason to get rid of it, and bring on a more expensive product that Senior Citizens can't afford.

    I love Tussy roll on. I will not use the cream as I agree it is messy. Any brand of cream! I am having a hard time finding the roll on now and would love to find a permanent source. If I find some, I will buy whatever they have in stock! For those of you who don't like it, well that is your loss!

    I have used Tussy in the solid form for years! It is the only deodorant I can use that doesn't eventually turn my shirts yellow. I just wish I could find a supplier! I agree the cream version is odd/gross...but I suggest giving the solid a try.

    This is the best stuff! My husband is now using it instead of his Sure deodorant. He still sweats, but there is no smell. I also saw that Walmart and Rite-Aid stopped caring it, but my Walgreens still has it, for now. ASCENDIA has bought Tussy from Playtex. I have never tried the cream, but it sounds messy. I have only used the roll on.

    Tussy Cream Deodorant is the best. I have used it all my adult life and it never fails me. The only store I have been able to find it in is the Dollar Tree. Longs used to carry it, but I have not seen it there recently. To "Ihatetussy"--I guess you must be about 10 years old. Stop making fun of your granny and learn how to spell.

    This may be an oldie, out of fashion, roll on wet etc. but it's the ONLY one to work for me. WalMart has recently stopped carrying it and I will do anything to find another supplier. My husband jokingingly refers to my "deodorant graveyard" where I have tried everything else on the market. It works if I have an indoors day or if I'm in the yard working in the middle of summer. Tussy is the BEST.

    Tussy is the best. I have a friend who doesn't use Tussy, but she should. I am going to buy her a can of it, cause she is stinky.

    Tussy is the by far the nastiest mess around. You can't get any lower than TUSSY. It stinks and smells ramish. For all you Tussy lovers around, stay cool and keep on with that white cream under your arms. ONE LOVE.

    Tussy is the most disgusting deodorant every. Who would want to put their fingers on slimy smelly goo and rub it on their smelly armpits. My grandmother uses tussy and we make fun of her. Please get in the 21st century!

    I am desperate. I have been using Tussy roll-on since my teen years....about 45 years. I'm in Bethlehem Pa. for 15 years. Purchased at Giant Supermarkets, til they stopped carrying it, then Eckert Drug, until they stopped carrying it. Next, after using 4 other brand and having an odor for the first time in my life, I was fortunate to find it in a local Dollar Store. Now they have stopped carying it. Playtex doesn't have a contact us site. Can anyone help. Where can I purchase Tussy Roll-on Deodorant? HELP!

    I am 62 years old and have been using Tussy Deodorant for most of my years. I love the Tussy Fresh Power Scent and have been using it ever since it came out. I am so disappointed that I can no longer find Tussy in the stores. I live in Michigan, in a Detroit suburb. I keep looking and looking but I can not find it. It is the only deodorant that really works for me. It always kept me dry and I never, no matter how sweaty I got, ever had an odor from under my arms. I miss my Tussy Power.
