What deodorant do you use?

What worked pre-pregnancy doesn't now.  I end up sweaty and/or smelly and I'm not a fan.

I used to rotate between Dove and Secret, but neither do the job anymore.

Any suggestions?

Re: What deodorant do you use?

  • Once I went Dry Idea I never went back...and that was years ago.  I was a major sweater too.

  • Secret clinical   it is the only thing that works now that I have kids.  Secret now makes a waterproof clinical that is great during the summer and swimming.

  • I use degree ultra clear.  I like it for the most part, but some of the scents are a bit much.  I actually prefer unscented deodorant, but it can be tough to find.  Secret and Dove don't work for me either, but degree does the trick. 

    I did like secret clinical strenght, but its $$$.

  • I used Secret for YEARS and it suddenly stopped working. I'm on my first stick of Degree and so far I'm really happy.

  • My cousin was just telling me about the new Degree 24 Hour Motion sense. She was using the Secret Clinical too and it stopped working for her. I just ran out of my deodarant so I tried the 24 hour motion sense and I've been raving about it to who ever will listen. It seriously works really well and I can smell it often. It's not overpowering...but I know it's there. Also- I love how when I wake up in the morning sometimes I don't get a chance to get ready right away... and it's STILL working from the day before.

  • Around 22 years old, I had some strange hormone shift and nothing kept me from sweating. I found Certain Dri. It was out wayyyyy before the clinical secret stuff. You put it on at nighttime. It is MAGICAL. I don't sweat through my clothes unless it's broiling hot outside. When I was pregnant, I had to use Secret in the morning for the deoderant aspect (Certain Dri is just an anti-perspirant), but I'll never use anything else. I know they sell it at Target and it lasts quite a while.

  • I used to use Dove but then it stopped working for me. I tried Degree a few years ago and have loved it ever since.

  • Ditto Certain Dri. After my pregnancies nothing worked for me, I was sweating through everything. I put it on at night and no more sweat stains! It is magical.
  •  Had the same issue after pregnancies - nothing worked!  Finally found this miracle:

    Mitchum unscented Smart Solid - LOVE it because it's water based (so washes off easily in the shower - I hate the waxy feel of other antiperspirants), and it really doesn't leave white marks, even on black :)  Love, too, that it it's unscented.  Technically made for men, but since there's no scent, who cares! :)

     

  • certain dri.  I used to only use it for special occasions and then realized deodorant was always getting on my clothes, even though I used clear.  Now I don't have that problem. I do have the problem of remembering to use it because it's not part of my morning routine.  When I do forget and have to use it in the am I risk getting itchy pits.  You have to let them dry.
  • I used to use Mitchum but it stopped working so now I have switched to Secret Clinical and it seems to be working.  Mitchum has the same percentage of active ingrediant as Secret Clinical and Mitchum is a lot cheaper too.
  • I had the same problem since have a kid.  I just swithced to ladies Mitchem and it is incredible.  Even after the gym I don't smell which had been a problem for me.
