A bizarre commercial that was on the 12/31/65 Carson episode.

Re: 5 Day Deodorant Pads
So does one pad last 5 days on your body? Does that mean no shower for 5 days then?? Yeah I remember that product, but it makes no sense.
We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!
Re: 5 Day Deodorant Pads
It's called "5 Day," but then contains the directions to use one each day. Hmmm...

Re: 5 Day Deodorant Pads
Clearly there is much confusion surrounding the usage of this product. They are not around anymore, maybe that's why.

I found some extremely valuable info on the net about how these work.

An application wouldn't work for 5 days, but was intended for 1 day. It's the PAD that's reusable for 5 days. They come stacked in a jar where the pad soaks up liquid. After 5 days, the level of the liquid would be about up to the next pad down, so you'd throw away the top pad and start using the next.
The formula originally was a water-alcohol solution of hexachlorophene, plus perfume. I don't know what they're using now, but it says it's an antiperspirant, so I assume an aluminum complex."
And by the way, people still use this type of product, albeit more modernized, and you can get them on amazon.
