Has Sanex changed?

[Merryoldgoat]

I’m getting really smelly by about 2pm and it’s completely new.

I shower daily
Chanbe clothes daily
Let deodorant dry before dressing

Wtf is going on? It’s horrid 😭😭😭

I think they have changed. Which one is it?

Have you picked up a Biome protect one as I don't think it is an antiperspirant and is just a deodorant?

No it’s the blue one I’ve been using for years.

however a chat with friends has suggested it might be me going peri menopausal making me smell.

what fun.

I am finding it hard to control my smelly pits too. Currently doing ok with the Sure maximum cream that comes in a box

I’ll give that a try. Filling up a Boots basket with a load to try. Bloody bollocks.

Same here. It must've changed, I've always used the blue as well. However picked up the orange one and all is well again.

@carrierbags

I’ve bought a whole bunch from Boots to try - I’ve honestly never spent so much on such a boring item but I’m sitting here smellling myself and it’s nasty 🤣

Yes! I'm so glad someone else has noticed this as I've been so paranoid. Back to sure for me now.

That is so funny I thought the same thing! Had to pop into boots to buy something else in the middle of the day today as the blue sanex I bought last week is rubbish! It's not just you

That's so weird! I bought some Sanex a few weeks ago instead of my usual Nivea and was smelling sweaty by mid afternoon so I binned it!

Yes! I am so glad someone else posted this as I thought it was me!

Have you tried Mitchum roll on?
I think its amazing

I'll let you into a secret.

Buy some antibacterial personal care disinfectant liquid and rub a little underneath your arms every other day for a couple of weeks, then cut down to once a week. It kills the bacteria and there's no more smells.

I can't use antiperspirant due to allergies, but I'm okay with the antibac liquid.

It's not unusual to develop stronger body odour as you approach menopause. It definitely happened to me. I had used the same deo for years and suddenly it wasn't enough.

Definitely! Both DH and I noticed it a few months ago and changed to Sure.

Max strength deodorant is brilliant, the one in the box, around a £5. Dove or Sure , never lets me down.

Maybe it’s not me then!

I have Mitchum, Sure and a few others arriving tomorrow.

hopefully I’ll be smell-free from Wednesday.

I’m so angry. I’ve been using it for absolutely years and it was amazing.

Read ‘miffed’ for ‘angry’

Nooo! If they've changed it, I'll have to spend ages trying to find a new one that works and doesn't bring me out in a rash 😭

Same here! Thought maybe it had been opened too long. Binned and switched to a Nivea spray one. Feel better now I've seen this thread. Thanks 😊

Second this one, put it on at night
Wash armpits with soap (actual soap, not dove) and wipe glycolic acid under arms before applying deo

I find the roll on or gels much better. Dry off with a hairdryer! Mitcham gel is very good too.

I'm so glad I'm not the only strangely sweaty/smelly one here 😀

Asda didn't have any sure or dove maximum so I went for sanex, big mistake! It's definitely changed since I last used it.

Yep! I had to bin same a couple of weeks ago due to same problem.
