Tawas

[Ji&Ma]

When my fiancee joined me in here she asked me if it is possible to get "tawas" in here as she managed to forget her piece back in Manila. :NoNo: :doh
After a while of searching I managed to find one web company which is selling tawas in UK - so I tought it might be useful for other members of the forum.
I've started to use it as well and I can say - no complaints at all...

Don't know if I'm allowed to link the pages straight in here, if not I would like to ask our mods to kindly delete the link...

TAWAS (http://www.calmncomfy.co.uk/acatalog/Tawas_natural_deodorant.html)

Have to add I'm not connected nor I have any personal interests in the mentioned company.

Hi, Ray click on that link I've posted in my original post (hiding under TAWAS) - it is UK comp. somewhere near Northampton, they got a good choice and they are able to post it to you.
We bought the "gift pack" as it contains crystal, block, some nuggets and powder as well, very useful... :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Hmmm :Erm: not so bad idea Florge as this seems to be just one company selling tawas in UK - or at least what i found.
Lets make company (or - can I get the shares at least??? :Erm:) ;) :icon_lol: :Rasp:

You can buy Tawas in Earls Court,its good for killing slugs in the garden :xxgrinning--00xx3:It actually kills them quicker than diatomaceous earth :cwm24: Makes me wonder about the long term effects/damage to armpits :Erm:

:yikes::omg::omg: :icon_lol: Lets see through the time ;)
I think my fiancee is using that stuff for most of her life and doesn't seems to me that she's growing another head in her armpit :doh :Rasp:

Anyway - tawas is used for a long time (historically) so I won't be too afraid about it...:Erm:

And - no wonder that it kills slugs very quickly as it is basically salt... Try to use ordinary cooking salt on some poor slug...

[Tawi2]

So its basically salt :Erm:Why rub salt in the armpits unless your also going to add a splash of vinegar :Erm:I wondered why the slugs shrivelled up so quickly and began foaming :cwm24:That probably explains why I never once saw a slug in pinas :Erm:

[Tawi2]

But I do think its use has long term health implications,just as vehicles near the coast corrode faster than those inland due to salinity I predict that if you were to use Tawas for longer than 100 years your arms would fall off at the 'Pits :bigcry:

[Fullofhope]

So Tawi2 you use Tawas? :D

[Tawi2]

So Tawi2 you use Tawas? :D

Only when cooking or on my fish & chips V :Erm:Hows life :icon_lol:

[Tawi2]

And please,dont be so formal,just call me Tawi instead of T2 :icon_lol: (When I think of some of the things you have called me in the past:cwm24::icon_lol:).

[Fullofhope]

I am good thanks and you? I didnt know you can cook.... SO you do use Tawas hehehe youre using cooking as an excuse hehehe PEACE

[Tawi2]

When I said cook I actually meant M&S microwave cordon-blue meals,Gordon f:censored:g Ramsay hasnt got anything on me :) I do a fine range of "Ding" menu's :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Fullofhope]

Nobody to cook for you eh? Hehehe

[Tawi2]

Listen V,I am modern man,I dont need anyone to cook for me,I got two things in my trousers(easy:rolleyes::icon_lol:dont get excited)they are called "Legs" :D I can stand on them,they have a foot on the end of each :Erm:Yup,I can stand on my own two feet :icon_lol:

Hehehee, good one :D :icon_lol:
I won't recommend you to use it on you chips - bet it is not very tasty ;)
Here is an explanation what tawas is: Tawas on Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potash_alum)
BTW - did you ever tried to put ordinary cooking salt on your slug??? :omg:
He will be foaming a lot as well :icon_lol::icon_lol:

[Tawi2]

I never used normal cooking salt for slugs,the best to use is Copper tape(they recoil when touching it) or diatomaceous earth(which is also a component of dynamite though it doesnt blow them up:icon_lol:)as it dehydrates them by absorbing their lipids,better stop chatting about slugs in case members of the league against cruelty to Arionoidea's are reading :Erm:

I put beer in a plate, then they smell the booze, and fall in and drown, the ones
lucky to escape have a hangover the next day.:icon_lol:

[Tawi2]

Yeah,beer-traps,but they actually seem to attract slugs :Erm: they seem happy after they have had a drink but some of them kick-off and damage the daffodils :icon_lol:

When you first fly into the UK Florge I just hope some overexuberant customs and excise employee doesnt search your luggage and find all those nicely packed bags of white powder and mistake them for................. :omg::icon_lol:

[FixYou.]

LOL I've read the post on here. This really made me laugh. It's fascinating how Filipino still look for the things they gotten used to back in their homeland.

I'm in the Philippines. I'm born and raised here but I haven't heard anyone here that uses "tawas" so it's kinda strange reading it here ><
