Deodorants
Hi All. I have little context here other than the fact that this is one of the various properties of a deodorant, the others being:
"anti-bacterial, anti-manchas blancas, anti-manchas amarillas, anti-transpirante"
There is no explanation given, and I assume it means that it doesn't run, but that's a total guess on my part. I've only ever seen the word "deslave" used in the context of landslides. The translator used "anti-slip", but I am wholly unconvinced - what would that even mean?
Anyone have an idea? TIA.

no-stain / no discoloration
Here are a few links which mention either "no-stain" or discoloration due to deodorants.

@Robert/Asker I agree for the no-stain part, but the discoloration is a separate problem. "No discoloration" is I think what you need. The discoloration is fading of the color of the fabric as opposed to white or yellow marks.

If you look at the Spanish link I included, you'll see "anti-deslave" and they actually explain what it means, "con una nueva tecnología que no decolora el tejido de la ropa"

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Debora. The problem is that the "no-stain" aspect is covered by other adjectives here, "anti-manchas blancas", "anti-manchas amarillas", so I'm thinking this is probably some other quality. |
| Ah, you could well be right there... that hadn't occurred to me. Thank you very much! |

rainfast /washfast
= it doesn't wash off...
And although "rainfast deodorant" gets zero hits, "wash-fast" is a thing, apparently :)

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Neil. Possibly, but what would the application be here? I can see it working for makeup, but surely deodorant needs to wash off? Perhaps not... |
