Hello, I've been going to the gym twice a day for the last week and really need a good Antiperspirant and Deodorant.
Any recommendation for ladies without the heavy scent?
I need one that will last me for the day.
thanks!

camay, but it's non-organic0

I just finished a stick of Degree Motion Sense (has a little sticker that says "48HR New Improved Protection) that was amazing! I use the Shower Clean scent invisible solid (can you tell I'm looking at it?), and it doesn't smell strong to me. There are also other available scents.
I switched to Dove Clear Tone 48hr in the Sheer Touch scent (I had a coupon) and while the smell is okay (not strong, rather pleasant), I have to say that it does a CRAP job compared to the Degree. I not only notice more moisture (I'm a pretty heavy sweater) but I actually get kind of funky on heavy workout days. I'm DEF switching back to the Degree- I'll probably just keep the Dove around as a backup, since I don't even want to finish off the stick0 -
i like arm and hammer products, especially the "essentials fresh scent". Its a deodorant, but it has antibacterial triclosan and baking soda, so it really stops stink and sweat. I'm on my 3rd one now!0

I use the clinical deodorants. Usually purchased with coupon. They are expensive but do work!!0

Secret Clinical Strength! Lasts all day, through 90 minutes of exercise, AND a shower. I'm not exaggerating even a little bit.0
-
I actually wear Old Spice. In the "Fiji" scent.
It's the best antiperspirant/deodorant I've ever used.0 -
I recommend an organic and herbal one. The ones with aluminum are not good for your health because your body absorbs it.0

I agree with the Secret Clinical Strength-it's the BEST!!!!0

Secret Solid works best for me. The Secret Clinical made my underarms itch really badly and didn't seem to work any better. It's been a long time since I tried anything else, because I've never liked anything I've every tried better.0

Well whatever you do, do not get a natural or organic deodorant because they will not work. I sweat quite a lot... within a few hours of wearing organic deodorant you will smell it on my shirt. The best ones are the ones labeled "sport, active, and clinical strength." If that does not work, you can go see a doctor and get a prescription for strong deodorant.0

Isn't it interesting how we all have different preferences??!! I use Ban roll on. I prefer the "regular" scent which has a small red box on the green bottle, but they do make two others, one which has no scent at all. I know some people do not care for roll ons, but for me they give the best/longest coverage without any mess.0
-
I use the secret clinical brand. I also don't like strong scents and get the lavender kind (of course it has some crazy weird "froo-froo" name that I can't remember). I love it because even after a two hour run it'll still smell fresh.0

Degree makes great women's deodorants that don't smell too strong. Sometimes I go for Old Spice Figi-not too masculine of a scent and works great!0

Lol, I use lady speed stick.0

I now use drysol 3xs a week (at night) and clinical everyday. Works wonders! Changed my life.0

Mitchum 24 hour works for me...roll on. Not too strong smelling, but not fragrance free.0

This is a great topic. I was just thinking this morning that I'm tired of antiperspirant manufacturers deciding what I should smell like. I've tried the unscented solids (brands aimed at females, since men don't get that option), but they stain my shirts. I've tried the unscented roll-ons (again, not in manly brands) but they provide me with a lovely rash. I'm stuck with this stupid stinky Mennen gel stuff, and I hate it, even though it's effective and inexpensive. I'd much prefer to not wear scents, because, hey, what am I, a slut? :bigsmile: My aftershave is really cold water, and it works very well.
Thanks for the suggestions so far, and I'll stay tuned!0 -
I was using toms for awhile but always seemed to have such a hard time finding it. I switched to arm and hammer essentials. They both worked well for me but I don't think I sweat much so may not work well for others.0
-
I've tried several over the years but I always wind up going back to the same one.
Sure.
It's the only one that covers all the bases for me. No odor, no sweating. They scented and unscented varieties and the all seem to work well. I like fresh scent the best because it's extremely light scented but nice.0 -
I make my own out of baking soda, coconut oil, and gmo-free cornstarch. Plenty of videos and recipes online!!0
-
certain dry in stick form is awesome!0

I'm not very sweaty or stinky, so just patting on baking soda (you can add essential oil to it for scent) usually works for me. I can't stand deodorant residue on my skin, so for those hardcore days, when baking soda just won't do , the only thing I can use is unscented aerosol stuff in a can - pretty much any brand. (I use unscented because you don't need a gas mask to use it, unlike the overwhelming fumes of the scented kinds.) There is no irritation, no residue and it dries instantly. Highly recommend. :drinker:0

I use one of secret's 48 hour ones and always liked it but I'm noticing I sweat more now when I work out than I ever used too, so I will have to check into some of the suggestions. I need something stronger and more effective as an antiperspirant but am sensitive to a lot of brands.0

Ditto. I was surprised how well it worked and like that I don't have to scrub my armpits raw to get the residue off. Plus, it rocks my socks that I can scent it however I like, if I choose.0 -
I've always been super self conscious of how much I sweat & literally avoid certain colors and materials because of how easily they show sweat. I did a search online & found a spray-on antiperspirant called Odaban. It's not really a 'deodorant' per se, and is really only for people who sweat a ton, but it works really well. You have to put it on very last thing before bed & wash it off in the morning. It can also be really irritating if you use it wrong or use it too often. Either way, I love it & it has kept me from being so self-conscious of my underarm sweating!
For normal deodorant, I'm a cheap-o. I use Suave wild cherry blossom. I think you can get two-packs of it for like $3 or less at Walmart. I LOVE how Dove GoFresh smells [the original with the green lid], but it's just so expensive!0 -
Antiperspirant isn't so important to me. I do sweat, I just feel it isn't excessive unless I'm exercising (in which case I'm usually able to rinse off after). I use the crystal deodorants. They are basically salt rock, which helps control the bacteria that make you smell. There are a few brands, most of which are unscented and good for men and women. It works all day for me and if for some reason I'm not able to shower, a second application usually does the trick for me.0

I had a sample of Secret clinical strength and that worked well
I also like Secret scent expressions vanilla
but honestly also just plain baking soda works amazing. If you have sensitive skin it can make your underarms red/tender so you may have to take breaks from it, but it works %100 and I say this as someone who sweats a lot when I work out/in the summer.
ps you will still sweat, but you won't stink0 -
I also don't like the scent of a lot of deoderants or the white residue. Personally I like clear gel Secret scent expressions vanilla (as someone above me just mentioned). It works for me.0
