Deoderant and Antiperspirant

[Skeptical]

Anti-antiperspirants are actually quite dangerous, as they contain a carcinogenic compound, the name of which I cannot remember, and really don't feel like looking up.

 

I use a Henri Bernard crystal-type deodorant, which just prevents the bacteria that cause smell from developing, without any chemicals or additives, and it works quite well.

That's what came to my mind when I read antiperspirant. I just use a deodorant, works fine. :thumbup:

I really don't sweat very much, so deodorant once or twice a day is good enough for me.

 

In the summer, I mostly go shirtless when I'm inside, and if I'm outside I'm probably doing some strenuous physical activity so I consider it a lost cause then.

[Saru Inc]

my god.. people in OT are sweaty!

 

no kidding

 

He has a point, how would you know it lasts for two days, unless you don't have a shower in between?

 

Man this is rocket science for you huh :huh:

 

There are times that I couldn't shower for two days (ie sick, went camping). So I can say that it works for 2 days. How does that equal to me taking a shower every other day? I've been using the same roll on for 9 years now

 

Even though I knew what you were saying, it's not far fetched to assume someone doesn't take a shower every day, as gross as it is a lot of people don't. I mean I bet a lot of the people who say "you don't shower everyday?!" probably don't as well.

the only thing that sweats bad on me are my feet. i wear "no show" socks and skater shoes. usually shorts too. im guessing its just in my genetics or w/e....but i've never had a problem with my deodorants / antiperspirants not working, so i cant help you there =\

I'm a sweaty guy as well, haha. Nothing really works for me, although it's getting less and less these days. I went to the doctor to see if he could help me out. He gave me some pills. They didn't help much. Now he's going to inject botox into my arm-pits at the end of this month. I don't really mind the sweating, it's just that I hate these stains and a kind of nasty smell that gets in your clothes after a while. So, hopefully I'll be rid of it soon. :thumbup:

 

Oh yea, I started shaving my armpits a year ago. That kind of helped as well.

 

I'm using Nivea deodorant now. With some kind of "Silver crystals". It actually works pretty good, better than anything I've had before.

So ya any feedback would be nice, I figured internet anonymity would make it easier to get some honest feedback. it would be awkward to walk up to people and be like "Do you sweat a lot?"

 

 

I too sweat alot or used too. Infact I can safely say I had like 10 grey t-shirts in highschool because of that fact.. I can say I sweat alot less at 22, than I did at say 16 or 17. Even doing more strenuous physical activity.

 

I really find Axe Anti Perspective to work well - it has a few different smells too.

[Star_Fox]

I always used old spice and the scents is pretty strong, even though you can't notice it like the AXE sprays.

Aluminiumschlorid is epic when it comes to this problem. You put it on in the evening, keep it for the night. Problem is, it tickels like [bleep]ing hell, but if you can fall asleep it'll last 1-2 weeks with not even a drop of sweat. Even during sports it'll be a problem to get sweat stains.

There's a version called Driclor in the UK, which I use. It is really incredible.

Lynx / Axe isn't really that good for you, especially if it's sprayed on - it blocks up the pores in your armpits with aluminum oxide which is the propellant. Once these get blocked up it can start to smell really quite bad.

 

It's always a possibility that you are allergic, I know I sweat and smell horrid if I use propelled deodorant. Anything is better than spray on.

My deodorant/antipersperant works quite well, it has a nice refreshing scent, and it keeps the pits dry for the most part.

The roll on Axe deodorant works quite well, the spray is just mainly used to get rid of smell. Some people hate the smell of Axe, but it smells a hell of a lot better than teenage sweat after playing basketball rigorously.

[das]

just to clarify, i use the stick, not spray on axe.

[pennywise]

my hands and feet sweat bad sometimes; i went to a doctor and he said there's nothing i can do about it unless i want to pay absurd amounts of money to get laser treatments at UCLA. ive tried a few different antiperspirants and they usually only work for about three hours and then make it worse. i'm tired of buying new shirts because of sweat stains :|

[Sam]

Well it's good to hear people are being healthy and helping the environment!

[JeremyM]

My deodorant works well. One time I forgot to put it on and I noticed more sweat/smell than usual. So yeah, it works.

[Maxingmck]

mine doesnt

[Wizz]

This new Axe Twist is very unpredictable. I always smell different.

[Range_This11]

Don't need deodorant. It's a pretty sweet gig.

[H2PM]

Old Spice works fine for me.

Put on in the morning once.

Then the next morning its still on.

[Lenticular_J]

Oh God my deodorant isn't helping a ton today. Then again, I'm sweating more than I have since I worked on my uncle's ranch. Maybe the most ever. Hit 110 degrees today, yesterday too. Humidity's higher than usual. And I'm tearing out four-foot deep slabs of concrete. Aaaaaaugh

[i_love_burritos]

Do you naturally put on deodorant or antiperspirant after you take a shower or shave or etc ... everyday ? That's a bit far in my opinion. I hardly sweat that much, I don't wear it everyday. Only when I'm playing sports or running around. When I do wear it, the Lynx [Allspice/ Axe to you Americans] usually smells pretty foul. Usually go for a generic brand [cant remember for the life of me now]. Also, all that "micro silver/aluminium" molecules is [cabbage]. Johnsons' baby powder works better. :thumbup:

I don't really care so much about what I use so long as it isn't rollon, I don't like putting that stuff on especially during the winter. I'm always cold enough. Of course my dad doesn't know that, so he gets me rollon. :roll: IMO Spray > Stick > Rollon. Spray doesn't feel cold, and you can't use stick/rollon to kill mosquitoes.

 

I am trying to get rid of this rollon that my dad got me right now haha, so I use it excessively. After that I've got some Adidas South Africa soccer championship whatever themed stick that has cool artwork on the outside, which will unfortunately last me too long so I won't be able to get some spray before I go up north to the Land of the Killer Death Mosquitoes.

[Zierro]

I seem to sweat more when I use it. I've used lots of different brands and they all have the same effect. :???:
