Roll-on comparison
Shower to Shower vs other roll-ons: how to choose in Kenya
There is a wall of roll-ons in every Kenyan supermarket and most of them look much the same. Rather than pick fights with other brands, this page does something more useful: it states exactly what Shower to Shower is, what it costs, and gives you a short checklist for reading any roll-on pack — including ours — so you can judge for yourself.
Side by side
| Shower to Shower | A typical supermarket roll-on | |
|---|---|---|
| Price per bottle | Ksh 370 direct from us | Broadly Ksh 350–600, depending on brand, variant and size |
| Same bottle in supermarkets | Ksh 435–455 | Shelf price varies by chain — check the tag on the day |
| Alcohol | 0% alcohol, every scent | Many contain alcohol denat. — check the ingredients list |
| Protection | 48-hour freshness | Usually 24–72h, stated on the front of the pack |
| Sensitive skin | Dermatologically tested, made for sensitive underarms | Some ranges are; it is a per-variant answer, not per-brand |
| White marks | Dries clear, no white marks | Varies — worth testing on a dark shirt |
| Delivery in Nairobi | Free same-day in the CBD, Ksh 125 elsewhere in Nairobi | Buy in store, or through a marketplace |
| Gift back on every bottle | Ksh 50 into your gift wallet, grows up to +80% if you save it | — |
We only state what we can verify. Our own prices and specs are exact; the right-hand column describes the category rather than any one brand, because price and formula differ by variant, pack size and retailer. Check the shelf tag and the ingredients list on the day you buy.
What to check on any roll-on before you pay
- 1
Alcohol content
Alcohol evaporates fast and can sting freshly shaved skin. If the ingredients list starts with alcohol denat., expect that sting in Nairobi heat.
- 2
Hours claimed vs hours you get
A 48-hour claim assumes a normal day. If you are on your feet or commuting in traffic, look for an antiperspirant active rather than fragrance alone.
- 3
Price per millilitre, not per bottle
Two roll-ons at the same shelf price can differ by 15ml. Divide before you compare.
- 4
Where the markup sits
A 50ml Shower to Shower bottle is Ksh 435–455 on a supermarket shelf and Ksh 370 direct from us — the difference is retail margin, not product.
Where Shower to Shower lands
Ksh 370 a bottle, 0% alcohol, 48-hour freshness, and Ksh 50 of gift credit back on every bottle you buy. Skip the gift at checkout and it grows — up to 80% more, plus a free gift item at the top of the ladder. That is the part no supermarket shelf can match.
Questions people ask
How does Shower to Shower compare on price?
A 50ml bottle is Ksh 370 bought direct from us. The same bottle sells for Ksh 435–455 in Kenyan supermarkets, so buying direct saves you the retail markup. Other brands sit broadly between Ksh 350 and Ksh 600 depending on the brand, variant and pack size — always check the shelf tag on the day, and work out the price per millilitre rather than per bottle.
Is Shower to Shower better than other roll-ons?
That depends on what you need, and we would rather you decide than take our word for it. What we can state plainly: every Shower to Shower scent is 0% alcohol, dermatologically tested, rated for 48 hours and dries clear. Compare those four things against whatever else you are holding — the answers are on the pack.
What should I check before buying any roll-on?
Four things: whether it contains alcohol (it stings after shaving and dries the skin), the size in millilitres rather than the shelf price, the protection claimed in hours and whether an antiperspirant active backs it up, and how your own skin reacted to the last one you used.
Where can I buy Shower to Shower in Kenya?
In the major supermarkets and chemists, or direct from this site at Ksh 370 with free same-day delivery inside Nairobi CBD, Ksh 125 elsewhere in Nairobi and Ksh 200 upcountry. You pay by M-Pesa on delivery.
