Deodorant for a whiffy peri woman

31 replies

I've always used Sure 48hr antiperspirant but now I'm peri menopausal, it's just not cutting the mustard and despite being dry all day, I get a bit whiffy by late afternoon.

What do I need to try?

Was also going to suggest Perspirex as recommended by a couple of PPs. You use at night a couple of times a week then usual deo in the day time, no sweat at all!

Things I've found to work for me (I had awful peri anxiety sweating 🥵) :

Wash with soap not shower gel
Using Acnecide face wash once a week on pits
Changing my deodorant brand and type (e.g spray/roll on) regularly - seems to work better than sticking to one brand

I found the strong deodorant like Driclor incredibly irritating but with doing all the above, I can now just use normal stuff and problem is largely solved 😅

My DS1 had Hyperhidrosis as a young teen which he grew out of
Hibiscrub surgical wash and Perspirex

Really pleased you have found something effective. Not heard of the brand but off to google now!

Apparently glycolic acid on your clean pits a couple of nights a week helps.

I got it from Amazon, £8.26 reduced from £12 currently, only a small bottle but I haven't needed to use much...and it dries quickly. It's certainly been tested over the last couple of days in this heat 🥵
