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 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.
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.
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.
