Deodorant reccommendations

[amberj]

We've found the Neways one to be really quite good, and its got none of the nasties in it as well. I think you need to find someone who deals Neways, but I'm sure there are links on their site.

Another vote for Mitchum. I had to start wearing deodorant when I was only 6 or 7 years old because I was getting BO even then...I had chronically sweaty armpits.

Tried 'em all but I still got the wet patches under my arms and was too chicken to lift my arms up during summer for years. I tried all the Rexonas, there was brand called Degree which was reasonable but got discontinued. Mum even bought me men's deodorant because she thought it might be stronger but I didn't like smelling like a bloke!

When I went out to work I would sometimes have to sneak into the ladies room and dry my armpits under the hand-dryer.

Eventually tried Mitchum roll-on...I had only ever used sprays, I hated the wet feeling of roll-ons but I was desperate. I have not used anything else for 5 or 6 years now. My armpits are always dry. Finally!

The other thing that helps me is making sure clothes aren't too tight under my armpits - even with the Mitchum I will get some dampness then (but nothing embarrassing like I used to get). My school uniform was always too tight under my arms (it was homemade, Mum always sewed them herself) which I think is a lot of the reason I had such a chronic problem with sweating...it wasn't just the lack of an effective anti-perspirant.

I am a miessence fan. I won't use nasty ones and miessence is nasty free. I actually like Tahitian Dream Bath - I don't think it smells anything like Salami!!! If it does I smell like it all the time!!!! I use both of their scents the other is ancient spice. I don'tsmell and I live in Qld where it does get hot. HTH

Another Mitchum fan here. I've been using it since I was pregnant with DS (12 yrs) after a friend recommended it to me. It's the only deodorant I've found that 1: acutally works all day and 2: I'm not allergic to! The Avon 24hr one is also good.

I also find what I wear very important. I just can't wear cotton/poly. I sweat too easy in it and once that has happened that top will always smell the moment I get a bit warm.

I love it! So good to know you're not the only one!!
I'm using Mitchum unscented at the moment, it's been good for the past few months.
Driclor works really well, but I can't use it because the trade off is a burning rash for me, no sweat, but omg the burning!! It does have nasties in it, very high aluminium.

I used to use the Dove pink roll on which was pretty good but I found it left stains on my clothes the underarms looked really grotty so I gave that one up after a friend of mine said she had the same problem with it, before that I thought it was just me

driclor - is that for wetness ? and whats this $13 deoderant supposed to do ?

miessesnce - does is stop the smell ?

[Glamourcide]

and whats this $13 deoderant supposed to do ?

From what information I gathered from the instruction leaflet, it accumulates in your sweat glands and stops them working overtime, if that makes sense? Sounds pretty nasty, I know, but stuff it - I'm still dry after 36 hours and two showers, I want to *kiss* whatever chemcial ****tail this stuff contains!

Driclor stops the wetness, Mitchum is good for stopping the smell.

I'm not sure about Miessence sorry.
