Best deoderant

Any suggestions on the best deoderant for women? I hate the white streaks on black clothes! And I hate feeling wet sweaty arm pits. I have always sweat alot but my arm pits did not ever get sweaty until after I had children. I never had B.O. until after I had kids either. I've tried different kinds but can't really find one that lasts. Some of them work well for a while but when it's really hot out or I'm working out hard I still feel/smell sweaty.
Suggestions?

    Mitchum for women. Link is for Walgreens. It's a gel so no white marks- you do have to wait for it to dry before getting dressed tho. No alcohol so it doesn't burn after shaving. A thin layer goes a long way. The men's line actually works better than the women's, but some women are weird about using men's deodorant so just throwing that out there.

    Are you using anti-perspirant or deodorant? They are two different things...anti-perspirant clogs your pores to keep you from sweating while deodorant only hides the smell. I suggest buying a brand that has both in it, especially during the summer.

    I've tried several, and all I know is that I wouldn't recommend Dove. Their deodorant makes me itch like a dadgum monkey!

    Look for the clinical strength brands (I think Suave, Dove and Degree) in the invisible solid. I use it in the summer months when I run outdoors.

    ^ agreed with above. Dove clinical protection is what I use.

    I don't know if you would get this where you are but I use sure maximum protection. It's more expensive than other deodorants but i wouldnt use anything else.

    I put on gel hand disinfectant every few days. It cut the bacteria that causes the bad smell to start with. As far as sweating less I don't know the answer.
