If you can stand another round of questions from me... You all have been really helpful so far.

Are these personal care items readily available? We're on the picky side when it comes to this kind of stuff. Thanks!

Mitchum antiperspirant (clear gel or smart solid)
Dove sensitive skin bathsoap
Citre-Shine Infusion Hair Gel
Neutrogena face cleanser (deep clean cream cleanser & oil free acne wash)
Head & Shoulders dry scalp shampoo
Glide floss
Chapstick lip balm
Lubriderm lotion (sensitive skin formula)

I'd bring it all with you to be honest, HK has some of the brands such as Neutragena and Dove but not the broad range which you're used to so its best to bring a supply with you.

I have been unable to find Mitchum or Dove Sensitive bar soap in HK. I did a Wal-Mart run before we moved and put it in our air shipment.

Wow, that was concise Oh yeah, aluminum based deodorant is bad for you. It's less popular in Europe now, and can be hard to find in HK at times.

i guess that is why deodorant choices/brands are very very very limited here in hong kong.....

We moved here a few years ago and we used to lug everything back from the us. That didn't work. Enjoy your stay here and enjoy the products available here coz you can't get them back at home. We love going to Sogo and Apita.

you will never find all the stuff we enjoyed overseas. BUT in HK's defence, a variation of it is always available.e.g., a bottle of something that does the same thing. For example, you'll never get all the Oral B kinda of toothbrushes as you get in Costco. but Oral B toothbrushes are EVERYWHERE and they are different kinds. Might just not be the specific kind of bristles you want.

Fanda in Central

There are many global brands here in HK. I find the Japanese brands above par compared to the several of the western brands I use to favor. Although, this takes time to find so I suggest bring at least two - three months stock with you until you become familiar with what HK stores have to offer.
