Dove Original. I love the smell. Or Vaseline Intensive Care, the original one.

Another vote for Mitchum stick. Although I've found the male version is actually better if you don't mind a slight aftershave-like smell.

I use the Mitchum powder deodorant but tried the more expensive gel and reacted. Back on the powder now ☺️

I alternate between sure maximum protection and Mitchum. I discovered Mitchum gel recently and really love it.

Another Mitchum here. I can get quite sweaty and smelly and mitchum is literally the only deodorant that works for me and I've tried hundreds. I like the roll on or the spray. The ones that smell like talc. Powder fresh. Wasn't keen on the gel.

Dove or Nivea (the purple bottle). I stopped buying Mitchum because I couldn't spray it at all then I came across a thread on here with others having the same issue.

Sure maximum stick is amazing. Sprays do nothing to stop me sweating.

Pinkflipflop85 · 20/11/2020 20:24

Mitchum gel

If you sweat from your arm pits if you apply a small amount of nappy cream it stops you sweating.
Whoknowswhenlockdownwillend · 20/11/2020 20:31

Sure maximum stick.

Bluntness100 · 20/11/2020 20:32

Mitchum roll on.

BarryWhiteIsMyBrother · 20/11/2020 20:32

Pitrock crystal thingy

pinkbalconyrailing · 20/11/2020 20:33

sprays are awfully bad for lungs.
I prefer roll on

cameocat · 20/11/2020 20:36

Mitchum powder roll on too. Who'd have thought!

I used to love mitchum, then they obviously changed the ingredients and every time I used it it left my armpits red raw. Found a thread online and there are dozens and dozens of other women who had the same thing happen. I do worry about what they put in it, its obviously strong stuff! I use Vichy now.

Yes-that's exactly what happened to me, it was horrible.

Dove or Sure Sticks. Haven't changed for 20+ years I think! Basically the same product. Non aerosol but not wet like a roll on, last for ages.

Sparklingbrook · 20/11/2020 20:41

Quick Google even brought up a thread

Mitchum Roll on too! Lasts all day!

hungryisabelle · 20/11/2020 20:45

Mitchum stick is the only one that’s ever worked!

PenguinErector · 20/11/2020 20:46

Wild!

adagio · 20/11/2020 20:47

Switched from Mitchum stick due to reaction (I liked powder fresh) and also when I had tiny babies didn’t like the thought of their little faces in the chemicals so switched to pitrok gold top after seeing a thread on here.

Natural ones (I think) make sure you don’t smell, but you still perspire and can get damp. Is wild like that?

none, I wash.
