Avoiding white deodorant marks on dresses when pulling on..

[PollyPerky]

Yes, not exactly a hot topic for S&B but have a tube-effect dress (Boden ruched dress) very stretchy and pulls on over your head. No matter how I try to wriggle in to it, I end up with white slashes of deodorant on the dress. I'm even thinking of using the deodorant afterwards by pulling up the sleeves somehow. so far, I've not worn it because every time I try to it gets covered in marks. I'm using a stick deodorant which is advertised as 'no white marks'.

Whip/flick your underarms lightly with a damp towel after putting the deodorant on. Seems to remove most of the powdery white stuff without actually wiping it off. I never get white marks on my clothes so I must be doing something right.

Old pair of tights, not opaques though. 7 - 15 denier works nicely.

Another recommendation for a crystal stick from me.i was first told about them in Singapore (very hot and humid, Singapore!) and I've used them ever since.its fragrance-free, too, another bonus, and has aloe Vera in it. Gone are the days when I've had to dump dark coloured clothes cos of the white stain that just won't go away. Lasts for ages, too.

It looks expensive, but it lasts absolutely ages

I mean no white marks

[MrsBimbles]

Try Odaban, you put it on at night and there are absolutely now white marks!

[LockedOutOfMN]

I use roll on (Dove or Nivea) and leave it to dry before dressing.

Easy to remove those marks with a damp face cloth

I use the Mitchum clear gel twist up deodorant. All of the others that say there are no white marks do not work in my experience.

Dryer sheets get deodorant marks off clothing - just rub over the mark and they're gone in no time.

TOP TIP: Heat gets rid of the deodourant marks - best way is ironing over them makes them disappear. but this is no ideal if you are wearing it!

If you are wearing the dress/garment, a blast with a hairdrier on a very hot setting will get rid of it.

Driclor the night before - amazing stuff.

[CointreauVersial]

That's a great tip, to turn the bottom inside-out!

I have a black teeshirt that always seems to end up with white stripes up the sides, no matter how carefully I put it on.

I'm a big fan of the crystal stick deodorants (e.g. Pit Rok). At first I only used it in winter, as I couldn't quite believe it would work. But I've used it throughout summer this year, and even on nights out - and it works brilliantly. You rub it over wet armpits when you are straight out of the shower. I do give them a really good going over - just to be sure! There's no residue and it never marks clothing. Also lasts for absolutely ages - so very economical (unless you drop it and it smashes).

Call me crazy, but a friend recommended a crystal stick. She sweats like a beast, and has tried it for work (she's a nurse), and at the gym. No white marks, no stickiness and no perfume or chemicals. She says that it protected her all day long.

I've tried one for the first time today. I sweat just as profusely. Absolutely no BO. It's a miracle. Here's a link to the exact one I have from Holland and Barrett, but you can get them from Amazon etc. www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/optima-healthcare-ice-guard-natural-crystal-deodorant-twist-up-60081664?skuid=081664&istCompanyId=8b7eb14d-bd9c-4f8a-aec2-4349bbabb5a0&istItemId=irrirlpxr&istBid=tztx&&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=Cj0KEQjwnv27BRCmuZqMg_Ddmt0BEiQAgeY1l_XR8UP_VfuafBg2_5XT3kUQIxFWLhjffVEg5GxJ5HwaAoXx8P8HAQ

I always put it on after I'm dressed, never leaves marks

[MamehaSan]

Yep, same as some PPs, I always fold the bottom half of jumpers / tops / dresses up to the armpits, put them on and then roll the bottom down. Then if any deodorant transfers it's on the inside once the bottom half is rolled back down.

When wearing a dress like that, I put moisturiser, make-up, deodorant and anything else on after I've put the dress/top on, otherwise it ends up covered. It's the only way. I find the 'no white marks' deodorants still leave white marks (or worse - yellow). It's a pain.

Mitchum is meant to work for 48 hours so you could in theory put it on the night before but I've never tried it.

[Trills]

Depending on the neckline - put dress on first then reach inside to put on deodorant.

[OrangesAreTheOnlyFruit]

Second Dove invisible. I use the stick.

[PollyPerky]

Thanks . Looks like a roll on is going to be worth a go though used to find them very wet and sticky.
I do let it dry well- in fact I'd worn other clothes before putting the dress on.
I agree that you can sometimes just wipe the marks off with a towel etc but it's a bit of a faff.

[P1nkP0ppy]

I turn the bottom 6" or so of teeshirts/sweaters/dresses inside out (roll or fold up) which stops the marks' and use 'no marks' aerosol deodorant (roll on or stick ones still mark). I always use talc too so by rolling up the bottom you avoid talc marks too.

YY hairdryer on pits and blot with tissue.

Quite a few brands claim to leave no white marks. Switch to another brand.
