What's the best kind/brand of deoderant?

Question

I don't like sweat profusely on a regular basis, but when i'm sort of nervous around certain people, i hate those nasty pit stains...they just make me even more nervous=i sweat even more. eww...

Answer 1

I found the matt silver adidas sport best to stop damp patches under the arms. Nothing else seems to work

Answer 2

Try secret platinum in the clear gel. The best thing to do though, is look at the percentage of aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly (I know that is a huge thing to remember, just write it down) on the back. That is the active ingredient in all deoderants. Secret Plantinum has 19% and Arrid clear gel extra dray has 20%. That will tell you how well it will work. The higher the percentage the stronger the De-O.

Answer 3

I had a similar problem when I was a teen and young adult - even after washing my blouses, they smelled when I ironed them. (Ew.) Then someone told me that Mitchum is a very strong antiperspirant. Secret never worked well enough for me. You may have to try a few different brands to find the one that works for you. Mitchum comes in several types -- some that are clear, (so they don't leave white marks.) They have unscented, so it won't clash with perfume. I find that an antiperspirant works best when I keep my underarms shaved. Of course, you need to bathe daily, too, and use a deodorant soap. Find a deodorant soap that you like -- I like Lever 2000, but I cannot stand the smell of Dial.

Answer 4

Secret has a new "Clinical" - it is supposed to be the same as prescription strength deodorant. It just came out, and I bought some, and noticed a difference right away. By the way, I found a $2.00 off coupon in the Sunday paper.

Answer 5

I find the Sure range VERY effective. While their smells aren't overpowering so you can wear your own perfume with it and not knock people out, they are gentle on the skin too. I recommend Cotton fresh or Cool for you.

Also, try to wear clothing with as little lycra, nylon, and viscose in it as possible. Cottons are kind to the skin. In short, avoide really stretchy materials as these rub more against the skin and are in closer contact and will activate sweat glands more.

Try to wear the correct amount for where you are too so you can regulate heat.

But definitely Sure. I rely on it, and have done on several photo shoots, and it's never let me down!

Answer 6

Well I don't know if it's the best for persperation, but I love Teen Spirit - Berry Blosom, it smells REALLY good and I've actually had alot of people tell me that too, lol. Or maybe you could try rubbing baking soda (I believe that's what it is, try it out at home first) and maybe that will help.

Answer 7

All time best I've ever used is Sure. There's a new one out now called Secret Clinical which is the strongest (so THEY claim) you can get without a prescription.

Answer 8

I use Secret, not the gel kind.. the solid. They make very good smelling flavors. My favorite is vanilla. Not only does it smell good, but it also cuts back on the sweating.

Answer 9

Deoderant covers up antipersperant slows the sweating make sure it says antipersperant and deoderant.I use secret (pear scented)

Answer 10

Try a natural deodorant (ones without aluminum). Aluminum is a chemical that is better NOT to have in your body. You can find them at most drug stores, in the deodorant section.
