Deodorant question?

i%26#039;ve tried a lot of kinds of deodorant/anti-persperant (degree girl, secret clinical strength, ban, adidas, dove, secret, etc) but none of them seem to work very well. they keep the smell nice but i still end up with little wet circles on my shirts - even if it%26#039;s not hot out or im%26#039; not moving - i could just be sitting at home and within an hour after applying it, i%26#039;ll feel sweat.





what is a good women%26#039;s deodorant/anti-anti perspirant that will stop that? or what is a men%26#039;s one (i heard they are stronger and might work better) that doesn%26#039;t have that really %26quot;manly%26quot; smell to it?

Deodorant question?
I feel ya, sister. I%26#039;m a naturally sweaty girl, and I also do taekwondo, so I know a thing or two about it.





I use either Ban or Secret twice a day, but I know you%26#039;ve already tried them, so let me try to help you out another way,





A lot of an antiperspirant%26#039;s effectiveness has to do with how and when it%26#039;s applied. First make sure your armpit is completely shaved (shave in the shape of a cross to acheive this: up, down, left, right) - even a small amount of hair will hold sweat and odor against the skin.





Then make sure the skin is totally dry - if it%26#039;s damp, it makes it a lot harder for the antiperspirant to soak up sweat later on.





Third, apply liberally. The entire armpit secretes sweat, from top to bottom, so swipe it on two, three, or four times to make sure you have an even coat.





Third, and this going to sound silly, hold up your arms and let the it dry for a few seconds. For obvious reasons the deoderant has to go on soft, but you want it to stay on your skin, not rub off on your shirt, so give it a few seconds to set.





There are prescription-grade anti-perspirants available, if none of this works for you. Some are high-strength formulas available over the counter, others are available through your doctor.





Good luck babe!
Reply:I have the same trouble...those sweat circles are sooo embarrassing. Ive tried almost all those deodorants you listed up there also. Ive finnaly found one that works well for me tho. Its a man deodorant it is the Unscented Speed Stick kind. It has a blue lid and is much less expensive that all those clinical strength crap.
Reply:secret clinicla stregnth should work. are you sure your putting it on before bed cause thats what your supposed to do.


if youve tried putting it on before bed and that doesnt work then ask your doctor
Reply:go to the doctor and try something prescription strength
Reply:I would go to the doctor they probably can fix that
