Can anyone tell me the best deodorant (or other option) to use to prevent odor under arms? Thanks

It's really something that you have to experiment with - different brands work for different people. If it is only odour that bothers you, virtually anything scented will do. However, this usually results in a combination of body odour and cover-up scent, which is not much of an improvement. Anti-perspirant is the most common and most effective way to treat underarms, and it comes in a variety of scents (including my personal favourite... Unscented!). Look for the active ingredient aluminum - the higher a percentage it is, the stronger the protection. You also have a choice of liquids, solids, or gels. Experiment to see which you like best; my personal favourite is solid because it is dry when it goes on, as opposed to the liquids and gels which sometimes feel sticky. However, with solids you have to be cautious - if you over apply them, you will end up with white residue on your clothes! Finally, if you have a serious sweating problem, consider using an over the counter medication like Drysol, which has a stronger formula than regular antiperspirant. Using it about once a week in addition to your nomal antiperspirant is extremely effective.
Hope this is helpful!

Buy one of those ani-persperant deodorants, that'll help. And wash your under arms in the morning, when you get home from work/school, and before you go to sleep. Plus only wear shirts once, because the odor sticks to the shirt and makes the smell come back. I know this because I had armpit odor and this really helped me. I got arm pit odor because I inherited it from my dad.


I hope this helps

When I first wore my uniform shirts,when my wife ironed them,odour was present with a vengeance,I experimented with various antiperspirant-deodorants and finally settled on a brand made by Revlon:called "Mitchum",
My personal favorite is "Powder Fresh"I have been using this product for 20 years on the road,and I have no complaints at all,even on the hottest days

Can anyone tell me the best deodorant (or other option) to use to prevent odor under arms?? thanks

If wetness is not a concern, a simple deodorant formulation will work well for you. Deodorants contain antibacterial ingredients like triclosan that kill odor causing bacteria.

If you need wetness protection as well, especially during hot summer days, then you will need a combination of anti-perspirant/deodorant. The anti-perspirant active is usually aluminum salts.

Avoid products that contain heavy fragrances and alcohol. While these two ingredients help mask odor and kill germs, they eventually make matters worse for you with the added problem of underarm discoloration. The skin in our armpit is very thin and sensitive and the worst sensitizers and allergy inducing ingredients are fragrances and alcohol. Fragrance-free and alcohol-free is best.

I find gillette is a good brand of pitstick. But you'll have to experiment to find the brand that's right for you.

Yeah I use gillette, the 1 with the power strip but like every 1 said u got to try stuff out before you find the 1 that you like

Have You Tried Bakingsoda As A Deodorant It Does Take Away Odors. :)

You mentioned you also wanted another option to underarm odor. Well I stopped eating foods with trans fats in them 6 weeks ago and noticed the most amazing benefit (I use deodorant that is made from natural crystal) the underarm odor has been reduced by almost 80%. Maybe trans fats screw up your system more than people think. Also feel so much better for not eating foods with the trans fats in them.

Well, I use something called tussy it's a bit messy but it works no doubt.

What are the side effects?

Hi,
You will have to try these, one at a time, until you find one you like, and works for you.
There are creams, roll-ons, wipes, sprays, etc, etc, etc.
Try one, see if it keeps you from "smelling" throughout the day. If it does, it works.
Best wishes,
fredg

Thanks fredg.

I have a rather strong body odor, not horrible, but not roses, either. I used Mitchum but I find that my body gets used to it after awhile.
I just discover Adidas 24hr Protection Cool Gel. I am female and bought the man's version by mistake. It made my underarms itchy but worked great. I then saw the woman's version and bought that. Big difference. No itchy and no odor or wetness.
The active ingredient is:
Aluminum zirconium tetrachlorahydrate 19% for men and
Aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly 15% for women.
There is also Certain Dry. I know CVS sells it. Hope these help. Just keep trying.

Funny you mentioned this product. I recently started to use its dry version and its great. I don't want to make any publicity but I really like it. And besides the fact that its keeping you dry... it smells GREAT!

I like the secret deodorants, they work wonders and has nice fragrance.

At what deodorants are you referring to ? All I know is the normal ones... :(

You really should try Dr. Mist. See their site. www.drmist.ca It won a lot of awards and works better than anything. There is also a msn body odor support group who have tried it and have posted great results on their site.

Dr. Mist - you just can't beat it! Check out body odor support group on the site. WWW.DRMIST.CA

We did a study at the place I work at to determine which antiperspirant was the strongest.

Out of all the over-the-counter products you could buy, Klima Antiperspirant was the best.

In this order:
#1 - Klima Antiperspirant
#2 - Certain Dri
#3 - Maxim
#4 - Secret Clinical Strength
#5 - Drysol

Klima Antiperspirant lasted up to 5 days between uses. It kept the test subjects dry and odor free. It didn't even matter if you showered or washed your armpits - the Klima deodorant still worked!

It was awesome to work on this project - and I'm glad I can share the results with you. I hope it helps.

Thanks for the information about Klima deodorant. I tried it and it is AWESOME! Klima Antiperspirant is the BEST deodorant and antiperspirant in the world. It will keep you dry in 120 degree HOT Texas summers. Before I found Klima, I used to sweat like crazy in Volleyball. It has literally changed my life! You can buy it online at Klima :: Stop Sweat Solutions | The Strongest Antiperspirant & Deodorant | Prevent Sweaty Hands & Feet (http://www.klimadeodorant.com). A bottle usually lasts me about 3 months. Klima also sells a foot spray for sweaty feet and a hand spray for sweaty hands. I have not tried those two, but I swear by the deodorant / antiperspirant. They also have a 100% money back guarantee - so if you don't like it you can always return it for a refund.

Hi,
This one has been mentioned but I want add a tip here. Secret Clinical Strength is the best I've used. I hate to be stinky after a workout or dancing. The directions say to apply the night before and to sleep with it. That doesn't work for me. My tip is to apply in the morning after your shower and dry "completely" with the hair dryer. The best one for me is the unscented one. This is good stuff! :)

I've tried Secret Clinical Strength but it does not keep me dry - a lot of money wasted. You should invest in Klima (http://www.klimadeodorant.com/home.php) you will not be disappointed!

Ever since I was really young, I've always had an odor problem. (It'd get so bad, it smelt like onions) I tried dove, ban, and sauve.. But none of them seemed to get the job done. My current de-odor I use is Secret, ani-persperant. (Powder fresh wasn't strong enough for me) But I do recommend you trying many diffrent types of de-oder and find which is best for you. If not buying the whole thing, I am pretty sure you can find samples. Secret is the best for me, and my favourite from them is clinical strength. Glad to help. :]

Secret.

Anyone that is suffering with severe underarm sweating, Klima deodorant is the best deodorant out there. I have had this problem ever since I was a teenager. I have tried prescription drysol, secret clinical protection and other numerous antiperspirants and deodorants and nothing works like Klima deodorant. If I didn't use Klima deodorant, my next step would have been surgery to remove the sweat glands, yes it's that bad.

Have you ever walked outside and just started sweating? By the time I arrive to my workplace my armpits were soaked. I always wore dark colors to hide the sweating. Now I can wear pastel colors and whites without being embarrassed. Thanks Klima for giving me a product that works and provides me with the lifestyle change of wearing different colors of clothing.

Actually, using anti-perspiration deodorants are not good. As we know, the armpit sweats, and sweats bring with them some chemicals not needed or harmful to the body just like what urine does. If these sweats are blocked from coming out of the body, it may be stored in the softest part of the female human body, the breast, thus, resulting to breast cancer.

I'm not stopping anybody to use any anti-perspiration deodorants. I'm just giving an information. It's not really that necessary to stop perspiration in the armpits since the armpits releases the most sweat in the body. And besides, it's actually natural. Be proud that you're sweating, even in the armpits, cause it means you're healthy.
