Deodorant / Anti perspirant

[TwinklingFairyLights]

I'm 43, think I might be peri because I now sweat like god knows what.

I'm fairly active - exercise most days. Weights, cardio, hiking, swimming. I shower every day and wash my hair about every 3 days (thick, curly hair, would like to leave it longer because it's dry but my scalp starts to smell).

Can someone please recommend a strong deodorant because my dove one is no longer cutting it.

I swear by the Mitchum cream one, keeps me fresh all day

Another vote for Mitchum.

I saw someone on here the other day say mens ones were stronger. Anyone know if this is true?

Thanks for the Mitchum recommendation.

I suspect men's ones are stronger but I don't definitely know. Worth looking into, especially for exercise.

I use a mens one, its cheaper and works better. I'd like to use the Mitchum but Lidl own brand is within my budget.
But you say your scalp smells, I wonder if that should be investigated. Is it a greasy hair smell, or more of a yeast/vinegar type odour?

Triple dry applied at bedtime.

Just a general unwashed smell. I tried leaving it longer than 3 days, as I've got dry hair but my scalp stinks. Every 3 days is the most I can leave it. What do you think it needs investigating for?

Yeast or vinegar smell could be an infection, but it doesn't sound like you have one.

Mitchum, the spray is best for me but I’ve also heard about doubling up of Mitchum roll on then spray. Also I use the dettol laundry sanitiser in my machine for work out/gym/particularly sweaty clothes. Works like a dream.

That's a good tip - thanks!

I used to get a bit of a scabby scalp but head and shoulders fixed that.

Soap to wash armpits with - shower gel doesn't cut it

Yep, I have a good scrub with soap every day 😄. Shower gel hasn't cut it for a while now.

I rotate about 3/4 as I seem to become immune to the same one after more than one day

Mitcham mens unscented is great - slightly more effective than womens and no pink tax. Other brands of laundry sanitiser are cheaper than Dettol and just as good: Wizz, Astonish, Lidl
