Okay, here's my delima. I need to find an anti-perspirant/deodorant that ACTUALLY lasts 24 hours. I work really long shifts and I'm always having to reapply halfway through the day. I've found that the dry one's (Secret solid stick,ARm&Hammer) work best for me. They stay on the skin longer and aren't as messy as the creamy one's. (dove, degree) But they just don't seem to last as long as I need. I've tried so many different brands and I'm getting really frusterated. I don't sweat a lot and I can't stand the parfumed one's. Those really don't work well for me at all. Neither do the unscented. My preference is a Powder scent. So, if there are others with this problem. Please give me some tips on a product that works the whole entire day.

I find that the baby powder scented ones don't last as long as perfumed ones. The scent doesn't seem to be strong enough to cover odour. If you have tried a lot of brands, i can suggest another you might not have tried.
My mother has done Avon throughout the years, and they have a product called 'On Duty 24' that they claim lasts a full 24 hours (I haven't had a problem with it, but that doesn't mean it definately works for you, of course). It isn't strongly scented so you should like the smell fine. They aren't as expensive as a lot of other brands either.
If you have tried that though, or you aren't willing to try Avon, all else I can suggest is have you tried spray-on antiperspirants? They seem to be the deodorant of choice for a lot of my peers who play sport and the like, sprayed directly on the underarm. I can't vouch for them personally though, as I prefer roll-ons.

You are not the only ONE! :)
Avoid wearing synthetic clothes.
Should avoid tight fitting clothes.
Avoid hot drinks and it would be better if crowded places were also avoided.
Use deodorants with aluminum or zinc, as these metals kill odour-causing bacteria. Heavy sweaters should use deodorant containing aluminium chloride.
Wash clothes more often and it would be advisable to use some detergent that fights odour such as Tide, Surf Excel.
Should surely bathe at least once with an anti bacterial soap. Some people have also suggested using benzoyl peroxide or an antibacterial ointment.. There should be no problem but please read all instructions and before use.
Avoid the regular consumption of spicy or sharp-smelling foods. The odour comes through the pores.
Deodorants / antiperspirant, make you smell nice and fresh but do not cut down the sweating. Remember to keep yourself odour free you need to maintain cleanliness of self first.

Ban works really well and it comes in powder and unscented and many other scents. You may perspire a little (If you work out or something...), but its just wetness, and there is no sweaty stink. I like to apply it before exercising just in case. But it should last the whole day.
I like the shower fresh scent!!

Well if yor having this problem with secret then you will with others. It is best to just keep reapplying it. I have the same problem and I been through brands and brands. Just use the dry ones. And scent really helps. It's not like you will smell it.

Onetime I was at my boyfriends house and I used his spray on deodorant and it worked really well it was so strong. Think about trying a one for men.
What helps me a great deal is washing my arm pits with antibaterial hand soap. I put deodorant on immediatly after.

you can just use baby powder... rub it in your hands and pat onto your armpits... then apply a dryer anti-perspirant like mitchum. it even says "so effective you can skip a day" on the tube...
thats a trick i learned when i was a waitress and running around a lot in and out of a hot kitchen. i don't do it all of the time because personally i don't like the smell of baby powder, but you said you do.. so... there you go.

baby powder, or a clear gel one, i've heard of ban they last a decent amount a little over the secret's but the smells dont work for me. but baby powder, if its good for a baby's bottom and is good for hair if you're late for a shower, hey wouldnt it work for armpits? good luck!

wash your pits with sulfur soap or anti-bacterial soap. this usually takes care of the odour. you say you're not sweaty so you shouldn't have b.o. if you don't have germs. sweat doesn't smell bad, it's the germs you have to look out for. fyi germs feed on sweat.
hope this helps.

why not use roll on deodrants they tend to last longer, i'm not being smart here but why don't you apply your deodrant every 4 or 5 hours if you have this problem!
