I've tried all sorts, none of which work. I've tried Dove max protection and Triple Dry as well as many of the usual supermarket bought ones. I still end up smelling! I've used Lush deodorant before which doesn't stop me sweating but does get rid of the smell. I don't know what else to try.

WIBU to use the lush deodorant for work but potentially end up with sweat patches on hot / busy days?

Perspirex!! I tried most of the others and have just discovered this. I bought the strong one to be applied every five days. Literally stops armpit sweat completely. Did sting the first few times I used it (not sure I followed the instructions about not using directly after shaving, making sure arm pits completely dry first too) but now is fine.

Hi all I'm currently trying the Mitchum gel. How much of it should I be using each time? I've only had it 2 days but it doesn't look like it'll last any more than a week! Admittedly some did squirt out when I opened it yesterday but not that much. Just wondering if maybe I'm using too much.

I use a very small amount baby 0.5mm in length from each hole/opening (3 in total). Probably lasts me a month. I put it on at night before bed and it lasts 24 hours. If I’m going to the gym or have an active day ahead, I’ll pop some more on in the morning

Thanks @HmmGrey I've definitely been using too much then.
