Avoiding white deodorant marks on dresses when pulling on..

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'.

Driclor the night before - amazing stuff.

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.

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

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.

Easy to remove those marks with a damp face cloth

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

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

I mean no white marks

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.

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

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.
