Deodorant that works?

Help! I think I'm turning into a smelly person!

For years I used the Mitchum roll on but it seems to have stopped working!

Can anyone recommend anything? I do a fair bit of exercise and don't want to smell at the end of the class!

I felt like I smelt today after it being warm out even though I've showered and have deodorant on.

Tia Thanks

I use Nivea Black & White Invisible Original roll on (antiperspirant deodorant) which I apply on my underarms in the morning, followed by spraying the same in Spray form on my underarms & under my breasts.

Maybe applying two forms of the same antiperspirant is OTT but I feel happy that way.
Actually I spray it all over if I'm off to the gym / work (I do a physically demanding job).

Because there's barely a fragrance to it I can then use a perfume too if I want.

I wash my underarms with shower cream but I think the trick there is to shave your underarms before washing your armpits maybe?

Bar soap - Shield, Cidal, Cuticura (I like medicated soaps for extra freshness)

I like Blue Sure roll-on - must be the old school one containing alcohol (get on Amazon)

Rub bicard into pits after shower. Unbeatable and super cheap.

I have loved Mitchum for a while but refeth bought them powder fresh scented one (that's all I could get) and it doesn't seem to be doing a good job

I tried the Simple stick and much preferred that

I tend to be very sweaty and conventional deodorants don't seem to work for me at all. I can apply one and half an hour later I start to smell. I have recently started using an unscented natural deodorant by Awake Organics. It worked brilliantly even through the heatwave over the summer, which is quite remarkable for me as I am very sweaty. I had used a Lush deo for years, but I wanted to make the switch to something more cost effective and also one that I wouldn't have to reapply throughout the day. Awake sell samples of their deos so you could try that first before buying a full size pot. A lot of natural deodorant companies sell sample pots so you can see what formula works for you.

Gosh I am sorry if that sounds so glowing it must be fake! I am just amazed that it works so well. Previous searches to find the right deodorant, natural and conventional, have always failed miserably. The Greeench by Lush is pretty decent, but too expensive as it just wouldn't last on me without constantly reapplying throughout the day. I got really fed up with doing that. I wish I could put any old thing on and it would work. Even all of the 48hr ones don't work for me. It's always been like that for me, I don't know why. Maybe I am just a particularly whiffy person.

Pitrock roll-on is working for me these days.
