Deoderants/antiperspirants that actually work

[hugoagogo]

I used to use mitchum, but that no longer works; then I moved on to dove maximum protection, which worked beautifully for a while...

But today I stank

Is it just me? Or are all deoderants just crap and like the emperor's new clothes?

I definitely think they have changed the formula in Mitchum. It just isn;t the same.
I am watching for answers as I need to know too.

Mitchum not working for me either :-( This is working at the minute though www.superdrug.com/right-guard-female-xtreme-ultra-cool-72hr-roll-on-50ml/invt/248850 I know it's a 72hr one and honesty I shower every day and do not leave it 3 days between washes!!

I'm a total sweaty Betty and found the only thing that worked was anhydrol forte (sp). It stings to buggery but is the only thing that stops me looking liking I've poured a gallon of water on me pits

I do however still wear Mitchum over the top cos I just feel weird not putting on deodorant in the morning.

I've started to use the Sure Maxim Protection one. Its much better than the Dove. It's usually a bit cheaper in Asda. I'm menopausal and it's working incredibly well on my old woman sweats. Im dry as a bone.

Ive found Mitchum different types work differently, Im currently finding the stick one best, but I have spray and roll on as well.
Yesterday I felt stinky though by lunchtime.
Shower at least once daily, clean clothes from pants out daily etc, figure its my age although Im not yet suffering flushes.

I have tried the right guard one in the black and pink version and was not that impressed; but might give the 'cool' one a go especially as it's on offer at the moment.

Sure maximum protection is really good, it's about a fiver and comes in a box. Worth every penny

I went through a phase where any and every deodorant/anti p wasn't keeping me dry (it was possibly hormonal).

I tried all manner of extra strength, extra time, industrial strength antiperspirants without success.

The only thing that worked for me is 'Driclor'. You put it on before bed, I use it about once every two months. I still use deodorant during the day but never get sweaty now.

But, oh my God, it stings like a bastard!

I am too young to be hormonal!

Nivea men's roll on is the only thing that works for me for some reason.

The Driclor and Anhydrol ones burned me really badly and oh my goodness the stinging! I could never get past that sadly because I love the idea of them.
I don't like my deodorant to smell of anything IYSWIM because them smell of warmed deodorant makes me gag

I use the dove or sure max protection but it works better if put on at night. Then a spray in the morning of any anti perspirant
Used triple dry but it nearly took my skin off

I would wholly recommend Sure maximum protect. I currently put it on in the morning and it works fine but I find that it takes ages to dry so therefore marks my top when I put them on.

It does instruct you to put on night before but have always been sceptical just in case it doesn't work as well after a shower in morning.

Since reading EMUZ post will test it out night before.

I use Mitchum and it works for me (I'm a sweaty chubster ) maybe it reacts differently to different people?

SirRaymond Not weird at all! I always go for the unperfumed ones.

I'd suggest a men's one too.

I changed to a natural deodorant by Kiss My Face. The first three or four days I sweated loads. Then all of a sudden nothing. I don't smell. I hardly sweat. And my pits feel healthier for some reason, maybe no aluminum? I don't know. I buy 6 roll ons at a time just in case they discontinue it. Fabulous stuff and I like that it's more natural. And I live the fact it works!!!!

Rocksie - I actually find it works better (I didn't believe the packet instructions at first!) but I do add a spray of dove/sure in the morning

It does wash off but it's like most of the extra strong ones. They tell you to apply at night - something to do with body temp being lower (says in leaflet in box but I've lost it)
Still seems to work though

Botox injections in the underarm is meant to be very effective if pricey.

I use the men's Mitchum but mine ages old so I'm on the old recipe by the sounds of it.

The Sure cream stuff (Dove also do some) is very good at its job, though messy and packaging a general PITA IMO
I switched to Nivea Invisible, which does the job quite well.

I ended up going natural, deodorant nor antiperspirant seemed to help and I was changing my tops 2-3 times a day. I now use bicarbonate of soda and have done for 10 years! I started off by mixing it with a natural oil (coconut I think, it was solid at room temp but softened in your fingers to rub on) but now use it like a talc - just a little bit under each arm. It doesn't stop sweating but that said, I don't sweat any where near like I used to and I don't smell!

Google or Pinterest natural deodorants for some ideas. Bonus though is bicarb is mega cheap!

I checked and it was the sure maximum, not the dove maximum that let me down yesterday, I have chucked it and last night used a sure maximum that I have lying around.
Of course today it hasn't been that warm, so it hasn't been properly tested.

I am tempted by a natural-ish product-has anyone tried out the Lush ones?

Trust
(name of brand - use once every few weeks)

I can't use any of the 48/72 hr ones as I am allergic to them. Have started using Boots deonat in the spray and that seems to be keeping me stink free.
