Is there a good alternative to Mitchum Antipersprant Spray

[WalkingThePlank]

I have used Mitchum for as long as I can remember but the new style spray mechanism keeps breaking. My latest one has lasted about 3 squirts!

Is there a good effective deodorant that anyone can recommend as an alternative?

A dusting of bicarbonate of soda!

Bicarb?

Ha. My pits would be offended at the suggestion that mere bicarb could stop them sweating or stinking.

Sukie, yes I know I have to twist it...

I use the roll on

Takes a while to dry but I generally run about the house half nude doing other things till it dries

I use sure 48hr cream.

I use a roll on from the pharmacy called 'anhydrol forte' have used it since I was a teen. Roll on at night, wash off in morning - no sweat that day. It's great.

I've had trouble with sweating for years and years. Tried everything! I went to my doctor in the end who gave me Driclor. You put it on before you go to bed once every 3/4 weeks and it stops you sweating. It's amazing. xx

Clinique roll-on works better for me that Mitchum. It dries fairly fast - just put it on then dress bottom half and it's dry enough to put on a top / blouse.

Triple dry spray is good too.

Mitchum roll on burns my pits after a couple of uses. Really sore red patches of 'burnt' skin. Maybe it's because I shave them as DH doesn't have any problems.

So, marking to read and take notes later. It works really well when it's not taking my skin off but I need an alternative.

zebra, have you tried it? nothing would work for me, i tried loads of deoderants. tried bicarb, didn't think it would work, but more than 24 hours later no odour! antiperspirants for me are now a waste of money.

Mitchum roll-on, with a quick blast of cold air from the hairdryer to dry it. Looks a bit bonkers but works!

Pink if you are going to Florida buy one there called Secret - its amazing really, work better than any on this thread for me.

Thanks RichTea, I'll keep a look out for that. I'll try it when I'm out there and stock up if I like it!

A Dove roll in cream. Boots for about a fiver. Amazing stuff.

Mitcham solid stick

Driclor works but it can make you really sore. I really sweat and the best spray is the Vaseline one. It's fabulous. Discovered it by chance and no wouldn't do without it.

Mitchum stick here too. Has anyone tried the Biosen stick? Japanese mineral stick thing, aluminium free. It's always next to the Mitchum when I go to pick some up but too scared to deviate from what I know works to try it.

Vichy 48 hour, not the scented one. It's pricey (£8 a pop) but lasts for ages and is invincible!
