Don't want to be disgusting but mine keeps letting me down.
I use the Sure brand.

I remember a medical programme (probs with the Van Tullekan docs), which mentioned that showering in the morning with bar soap rather than shower gel was important in addition to deodorant for people who sweat a lot.

I find wearing pure cotton tops rather than polyester/polyester blends really helpful- synthetic fabrics make me sweat a lot.

Sure deodorant works well for me- I put it on after my bath at night and again after my shower in the day.

Anna727b · 22/04/2021 22:55

Oh also I think they mentioned that roll-on works much better than spray too. I use the Sure roll-on.

A lot of deodorants smell weird on me too, so I tend to go for unscented ones. Mitchum is definitely the best.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 22/04/2021 22:56

Mitchum stick. I prefer the unscented one which is hard to get in my local Boots. I am looking forward to being able to go non-essential shopping and pop into other shops when restrictions ease here in Scotland next week!

Another vote for Mitchum roll on

PrelovedWithValue · 22/04/2021 23:00

I use nuud. I love it, SO much. A tiny 20ml tube lasts me four to five months, as I only need to apply it every five days. The tube is made from sugarcane, so it's really environmentally friendly too.

Mitchum roll on. Used to just buy whatever was on cheapest offer from the supermarket but will never go back now.

Rainbowandscarlett · 22/04/2021 23:02

I have the same problem
I sweat and stink over the course of the day
I wash with soap not shower gel,I use driclor last thing on a night (be warned-it stings) wash it off with water and soap then I use normal deodorant (at the moment I’m using sure but it’s whatever is on offer)
It’s amazing stuff but if your pits are the smallest bit damp it stings like a bitch
A tiny bottle lasts about 4/5 months

MarySanderson · 22/04/2021 23:03

I'm going to sound like a knob, but I use the Secret cream stick ones brought back from the USA. I always used to use Secret and then they stopped selling it here afaik. I stock up on loads but will be running out soon.

Sarahlou252 · 22/04/2021 23:03

Blimey so many recommendations for Mitchem! Gonna look for it this week now! Used Sure stick for years and always been happy with that.

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 22/04/2021 23:05

Mitchum usually - the stick or roll on....

But I stopped using deodorant in lockdown - don't think I smell, wondering if I need to start using it again.

delilahbucket · 22/04/2021 23:05

Mitchum spray. I always smell nice 😁

BoreOfWhabylon · 22/04/2021 23:06

Mitchum roll on.

Also bar soap.

Lahlahlah · 22/04/2021 23:07

Mitchum - either stick, roll on or spray do the trick ! Love the stuff, it's never let me down !

TheNestedIf · 22/04/2021 23:10

I use Perspirex underarm and in damper areas every one to two weeks, and various men's L'Oreal anti-perspirants everywhere else daily. I know Mitchum is popular but I don't find it works as well for me as Perspirex. Sure never did anything for me at all, ever, apart from make me wheeze.

Tanfastic · 22/04/2021 23:11

Dove maximum protection is brilliant and I'm a very sweaty person. The Sure maximum protection is also very good but doesn't smell quite as good as the Dove one.

CounsellorTroi · 22/04/2021 23:14

Sanex roll on.

QueenPaw · 22/04/2021 23:16

Any of the cream max protection ones applied at night. Dove, sure, the men's Mitchum one
Usually £5 but always on offer somewhere
Wash armpits with soap, apply the deo at night and sometimes I use a spray in the morning but I don't need to

Absolutely unbeatable and I've tried the lot

VettiyaIruken · 22/04/2021 23:21

Mitchum men roll on.
It's brilliant

tiredmum2468 · 22/04/2021 23:25

Nivea
It smells lovely and gives really good protection
I work in a hospital and it's boiling

Mitchum antiperspirant apart from the natural version which doesn't work.
Rituals antiperspirant spray is also surprisingly effective.

PuttingOnTheKitsch · 22/04/2021 23:31

Mitchum roll on is the only one that works for me.

SirVixofVixHall · 22/04/2021 23:32

Thanks for the tip EvilOnion I will try that before giving up. Smile

AlwaysLatte · 22/04/2021 23:33

Dove invisible roll on - it stops white marks on black clothes.
