Deodorant reccommendations

[sunshine_sieben]

Hi girls,

I need someone to reccommend me a deodorant that really works. I have tried many so far and just find that they seem to work for a little while and then don't. I did try a crystal and that was awesome for about a month and after that didn't seem to do anything at all.
I would prefer a natural deodorant rather than an antiperspirant, but if an antiperspirant is the only thing that will work, then so be it. I'm just so over BO...

Cheers, Sasa

I use Rexona Hypo-allergenic. Other ones in the Rexona range and some other brands full stop cause me rashes. I have never noticed a problem with BO when using it, only if I am wearing a really tight t-shirt or something, so the armpits can't breathe that well then either.

I tried everything, crystal, no deo as i would told i needed to cleanse my body of the toxins, changing diet etc etc (i wasnt nice company at that stage - phewweee) and ended up using driclor... it is a really strong antipersperant. I use it once a week and then can use anything else i like for the rest of the week normally or if its hot i use it twice a week. Sometomes i can go more than a week without using it. I used it last night and am confidently using NO deo today.

Its probably really bad for me, but i figure that using it so infrequently its better than coating my pits more than once a day!!!

I use Mitchum unscented roll-on anti-perspirant & deodorant. It's the only on that hasn't 'stopped working' after a month or so. And as it's unscented, I wear perfume if I want to smell nice, so there's no scents/chemicals from the roll-on that are getting funky in my armpits.

I try to avoid the supermarket ones, although I can get away with the Crystal Stick in winter... i don't generally sweat much though. My favourite deodorant is the MiEssence Tahitian Dream one but looking at their site they may not stock it anymore Don't get their Ancient Spice one... it smells like salami... I might have to go for their Fragrance Free one.

I find that there are so many different types of sweating that there is no single answer for which is the best deo!
I haven't sweated much since being pg with DS and stopped using it then - I found that braving it without left me smelling no worse than when I religiously used deo
Anyhow, I DID like using the Miessence one, as well as the Crystal, for what they were worth.
When I was dependant on deo, I used the Rexona one and it blocked out everything. But I prefer to generate pheromones these days and drink water to mitigate the 'smell' turning into a 'pong'

I use a teatree one from the supermarket...no aluminum etc its great for me ! Good luck x

I second Mitchem. I too have tried everything and nothing works as well as this one. You could also try lighty spraying or wiping your pits with white vinegar as it kills the bacteria living there. You do smell a bit vinegary at first but as soon as it dries the smell goes.

I have just bought Dove clinical (the new one advertised on TV) it was a bit expensive for a deodarant - $13.00 but so far I cant complain. Its has only been a week so I will let you know if its another cabbage one.
