I use soap only dirty people need to cover up the smell.

I've smelt quite a few guys in the gym who think this :sick:

I don't know if it is the best, but I like the Secret Clinical. I have somewhat sensitive skin under the arms and a can get migrains from certain scents. It doesn't irritate me. Oh, it stops the sweat all day too. I have tried the Dove Clinical, regular Dove, regular Secret, Degree, Lady Speed Stick, Mitchum, Tom's and various "natural" products. I have used it on occasion under the "girls" when wearing a sports bra to stop the boobie sweat. My guy swears by Speed Stick.

What's funny is my bf's speed stick works better for me than my deodorant, and he loves my secret (and started using it.. LOL). I think that we are both the wrong gender.

I use men's deodorant. The women's has never worked for me and always left white *kitten* all over my shirts. Old Spice.. It's like a clear blue stick.

Deoderant vs Antiperspirant....two very different things. I can be clean and odor free, but still have a perspiration issue under the arms without breaking a sweat elsewhere. Wet pits outside the gym are not looked upon favorably.

I am allergic to every one that is scented that I have ever tried. I have to use NIVEA Unscented Anti-Perspirant Deodorant.

Dry Idea unscented for me!

I use Secret solid stick. I only swipe a couple of times per side and I'm good for the day. No odor, no sweat. Any other brand, I feel like I have to pile it on before I'm adequately covered.
My hubby's underarm skin is sensitive and he uses Axe spray deodorant. Anything else makes him break out.

I've been faithful to Dove Original Scent Invisible Solid for over 10 years - no idea why either, it just works. lol

I don't believe in antiperspirant...it turns my t-shirts yellow. Old Spice deoderant has served me well for at least 10 years. Don't see any reason to change other than the occasional switch from Pure Sport to Original every now and then.

I raise my hand, cause I am SURE!

Lady Mitchum is the only thing that works for me (the gel kind)....my ex loved it too (yes....a guy). That stuff has magical powers!

I use dove - unscented. I don't like my pits smelling fruity or something weird. Of course I use soap when I shower and all that jazz, but I keep a stick in my purse just in case. Putting it on once a day does the trick for me.

Birdie

Arm & Hammer unscented. Everyone in our home uses it. It's cheap and works great.

Dove clinical strength for women. My husband likes the Degree clinical strength.

Degree Clinical Protection Sexy Intrigue - I am yet to find anything better than this one!

I don't wear it daily, but when I do... Lady Speed Stick has some lovely scents. I like the strawberry one, or anything else that is fruity scented. Works great. I don't wear perfume or anything, it's too much, but for this I don't mind the mild scent.

I like Secret Clinical strength. Seems to be the only one that really keeps the perspiration at bay. Plus it doesn't stain my clothes like other deodorants have in the past.

God I love the smell of Old Spice, but very few guys wear it anymore.

I like Dove.

BAHAHAHAH THAT PICTURE. EPIC.

I'm not a fan of the Swagger, though.. I like the Pure Sport.

BEST *antiperspirant* is a product called Certain Dri. You can buy it at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, etc. It is a liquid roll-on that you use at nighttime, it's different than most products out there in terms of application, and in how well it works.

I used to be one of those people who could not allow any sleeve or shirt to touch my underarms, because I would surely soak through it, causing sweat rings and deodorant stains on every garment I owned. I hated it. No product gave me good results.

I used this stuff, and I barely even sweat anymore AT ALL from my underarms. Even if I forget deodorant (which would've been emergency level problem before I used Certain Dri) I barely sweat. Baaaaarely.

A drawback to be prepared for: it causes itching as it soaks in and goes to work. It can be intense. You must try to ignore this, because it's worth the effort to get over it and eliminate sweaty pits forever. I would rub my flat hands over the itchy skin until it fades, because it *will* fade in intensity after a few minutes, and scratching it seems to prolong the intensity of the itching. If you resist and just wait it out, it's really only a couple of minutes and it's over.

A huge pro: I only used it 5-6 times over the course of about a 2-week period, and that was more than 4 years ago. The results are SUPER long-lasting. You don't have to go through the itchy agony forever.

two natural solutions: salt (they sell it in rock stick version, but I bet you could just use regular and wet it alittle), and alcohol - like the antibacterial gels they sell work quite well. neither solution addresses sweat itself, just kill the ordor bacteria.
