Have you ever "cross-dressed" in the deodorants? Is it allowed?

That is like asking whether or not men can use a woman's soap or not. It is just a product that stops odour. So really, it is yours to decide if you like one scent over another. Don't let the product producer decide for you! They label it that way because they think the chances are that men will like this scent, and women will like this one. It is done with research.
Might not apply to you!
You are allowed to think for yourself here!

Sure. The only difference is the fragrance. The purpose of a deodorant is to keep people from smelling bad. Both men and women have the ability to smell bad. It doesn't matter which deodorant you use.
My wife and I often switch deodorants. I think the basic difference is that she does not like the fragrance of Right Guard deodorant.

Many women (and no, NOT only lesbians) like the fragrance of male deodorants and colognes, and wear them in preference to the more girly floral fragrances.
Also, men's deodorant ranges have more 'no smell' varieties than the female ranges, and if you don't want your deodorant to 'clash' with your other scent, sometimes that is the way to go!
Men's fragrance are made from very attractive smelling things such as pine, 'smoky' aromas and musk, and while there are many attractive female frangrances, they are usually lighter and more floral, which is not to everyone's taste.
The fact is that every fragrance changes on the individual person's body ... so if you like it, wear it!
If someone else doesn't like it, let them buy you perfume :-)
Good luck! :-)

Strong enough for a man, but MADE FOR A WOMAN
I honestly don’t think a womens deodorant on a man could hack it Generic deodorant for women may work, but if you get into the Old Spice smells it just doesn’t smell right you know?

I have. Don't see any problems. Any will do for a girl, though some smells are odd for a guy. Still there are some female deodorants with neutral smell - they will be good for both.

I've used my husband's deodorant in a pinch, but I didn't like it. It helped with the smell, but not wetness. It was deodorant, but not an antiperspirant.

In fact it is smart for women to use men's deodorant because they contain more and cheaper than females , ounce for ounce'. Of course it is allowed,,,,,,,,,is there a deodorant police out there?

My sister and her husband share the same deodorant and have for years.

you can, but then using products that are made for your body type would not smell good nor it may work. this also applies to perfumes--i tried to use a male perfume and i ended up smelling weird.
