Seriously, what is a good deodorant with anti-perspirant that works?

Question

I used a few and they suck! I'm using degree with anti perspirant, and i think it goes on clear?

but it does neither.

it leaves white stuff all over my shirt. My shirt where my arm pits are get wet like after 20 minutes of driving to school.

I even drive with the ac. I don't know it doesn't seem to stop the wetness. so it totally does nothing, but helps with the smell. which i don't think i have.

so what really works. i just hate that it doesn't stop the wetness. it's embarassing.

also is there like a aluminum free or whatever for men? i think adidas has one for girls, but not men. anyways what actually works?

Answer 1

I had problems like this recently too. I switched to Mitchum, and it really works. Try it! Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Secret Clinical Strength Antiperspirant/Deodorant. It is about $8 at your local walmart but it is worth every penny! I have excessive sweating and this is the only over the counter stuff i have found that works. It doesn't stop the sweating but it decreases it dramatically. Follow the directions in the box and you should see results the first day, I did. Although, I don't think it is aluminum free. Go to www.secret.com and click on the clinical strength icon and learn more about it. It can't hurt to try, it has a 30 day money back guarentee so save your receipt and send it back if it doesn't work. Good luck! I know how it feels to have wet pit marks on your shirt, I feel for you and hope this helps you as much as it has helped me!

Avon. They have roll-ons for men and they work really good.
It will feel a little wet immediately after you apply it, so keep your arms from touching your sides until it dries (like brush your teeth or something). You'd have to call the person at the back of the brochure to order it, then wait a week and the order will be in.

When you have white marks on your clothing after applying any deo, use a nylon or synthetic type material to rub the marks off. A pumice stone rubs it off too.

Another option is to go to a health store and buy a "crystal" for the armpits. It's a little natural stone that you simply rub on your skin and it helps with smell. Not sure if it helps with the perspiration though. It might.

Answer 4

Mitchum never worked for me, I went through this big time during adolescence. Talk to your doctor. My doctor prescribed Dri-Sol, a topical medication applied under the arms every night, and after a few weeks of use, I could have gotten by with just a deodorant, not antiperspirant. Good luck. I know it is mortifiying and you may feel like a freak, but it is way more common than you think. Hyperhidrosis is the name of the condition, and if it is too severe for Dri-Sol, botox injections under the arms would be a last result that would work, but at a high cost. Good luck!

Answer 5

On another note, which I have been thinking seriously about, is surgery. They go in microscopicly and cut the glad that produces arm pit sweat from the get go. No more wetness and no more deodorant? I'm still thinking about this myself.

Answer 6

Speed Stick Gel

Answer 7

I use Rexona stick. Its anti-perspirant. I've been using it for years. My underarm also suffered from wetness when I was in high school and this one made a lot of difference.

Answer 8

extreme for men and go to drugstore and behind the counter they have a product with aluminum in it that works good but is about 20 bucks(in Canada) also you may have over active sweat glands in your arm pits and need to have them removed so if none of these products work go to a doctor about it

Answer 9

Toms natural deodorant. Worked well for the wetness and odor. But it set off my eczema. So if you don't have sensitive skin, try it. I don't know if it's aluminum free.

Answer 10

Any Arm&Hammer brand. I travel by Greyhound only and was on the bus for three days without washing until I got to my destination, didn't even smell musty.
