I've been using Secret, not in solid form. But I absolutely hated it because within 2 hours I can smell myself again and it's terrible!
So I'm going to be trying out Degree expert protection in a solid.
I'll see how it works out in a few hours. :D

    I've been using Degree for years and love it. And it works for over 24 hours.
  • Old spice! Yes i am a women but I was a college athlete and nothing worked better then the clear gel old spice! I have not changed since! :)

    I like degree. I have some crappy brand right now that I had to buy because they don't sell degree where I am at. I long for it every time I work out.

    Oooh, good topic - I'm interested to see other replies. I always go back to Secret Powder Fresh (solid).

    I actually use men's antiperspirant/deoderant. (speed stick or right guard usually)

    I use the clinical strength dove in the Cool cucumber scent! Seems to work great for work out days

    The Degree Motion Sense deodorant is great for working out, at least for me!

    Honestly, any kind of deodorant works for me. I've used Suave, Secret and Dove, and they all seem to be the same, more or less.

    When it comes to working out though, I prefer to work out right before my shower or bath, because I tend to sweat all over, not just in my armpits. I smelled pretty ripe today while I was working out.

    Although I don't sweat much, so when I do, it's like it releases all the stink that I've saved up over the last day or two.

    Some folks just sweat more than others. I think it's a genetic thing.

    I use Degree. I still sweat like mad, but I don't stink. :happy:

    Strangely enough, the all time BEST deodorant I've ever used is baking soda! It's not an anti-perspirant, so you'll still sweat, but there is no smell at all. And you don't smell like deodorant.

    I just dampen a blush brush a little and dip it in the stuff and dust it under my arms. I'm telling you, it works like nothing else I've ever tried!

    I just started using Secret Natural Minerals/Unscented. I love it. I have had trouble with every deodorant I have used and I'm 55 so I have used a lot of different brands. I will use it until it doesn't work anymore.
  • Regular Secret doesn't work for me, however, Clinical Strength Secret does a spectacular job. This is the only one that I have found that works out of all the other brands. Even the one prescribed by my dermatologist didn't work as well.

    *******MITCHUM******* The roll on only. By FAR the best Ever!!!!
  • I use the Secret Clinical Strength waterproof one (is it the same as everyone else's Secret Clinical Strength? haha I don't know) I love it. I'll work out and I'll still smell good there. Deodorant has always been a problem for me cuz even without working out, I've had a problem with sweating there and never had a good deodorant that "cured" the problem. When my best friend told me about the Secret one, I used it and never looked back.

    I use Secret Clinical Strength waterproof all day fresh scent deoderant.

    love it! Well worth the 8 - 12 bucks (depending on size) I spend

    I've tried many, many different brands through the years. I vote for Old Spice, sport scent. Yes, it's mens, and yes, it works. Who cares? I wouldn't recommend wearing it with your little black dress though; get something flowery or powdery smelling for that LOL

    I've always used the regular degree and it just got to where it no longer worked for me. My noon I was getting stinky. But they have a new degree (can't remember the exact name of it) but it is in a lighter container and on the top the sticker says that you stay fresher longer. And let me tell you, that is NOT a lie. I go all day and workout at night and still am not funky!!! I say give it a try.

    Dove is the only deodorant that doesn't make my underarms breakout. I use the regular cool cucumber scent. If regular deodorant doesn't work for you, I'd try the clinical strength ones. The really do work better.

    I had to change to Dry Idea clear gel about 6 months ago. All of a sudden, the stick deodarants weren't working for me anymore. I even tried a few different brands to be certain. Not sure if it was due to some hormonal change from losing weight or what but I had to find a solution fast because having BO at work is not ok.

    Thankfully one of my best friends had mentioned that she was having the same problem so I asked what she switched to and how it worked for her and that's when I started using Dry Idea. I still use a stick now and then but only if I know i'm not going to be sweating much.

    Good topic as I've been stinking lately in the gym and I need to get a stronger deo. Might try the Mitchum one as we don't have the other brands here.

    I'm a guy and sweat like hell when I workout so the kind of deoderant does not matter much. I end up stinking by the end anyway so I just use what leaves me the least stinky which is Pro strength Old Spice.
