Hey!

I use something called drysol. It is a prescription. Although I don't have a sweating problem, I still swear by it. It is cheap, it is applied at night (no worries about scent during day), it is MUCH more effective than over the counter products, and you don't have to apply it day by day.

Talk to your doctor, this stuff rocks! If not, I really like old spice high endurance.

This guy sure likes Right Guard:

Everyone's body chemistry is different. Therefore, what works well for one person doesn't necessarily work at all for the next person.

About 10 years ago, I remember seeing a Consumer Reports article that said that Sure worked best for most people. However, almost everything has been reformulated since then. In addition, your body chemistry can change and the germs that the deodorant kills can change, so that what works for awhile could quit working.

Then, there are all the concerns about using aluminum on the thin skin of the armpits.

That said, I've found that switching between Sure, Lady Speedstick (my DH switches to the men's version) and the endurance versions of the Mennen brands. Their scents seem to change every few months, but they always have things like Shower Fresh, Baby Powder, and Spice in all brands.

I have also tried the "natural" route of crystals that work by killing the bacteria, and natural deodorants. They do work on odor but not on sweat. Fortunately I rarely sweat, but if you do, you won't want to go this route.

I believe The Body Shop makes a great deodorant. Its old one and new Maca Root are excellent deodorants. They smell clean and fresh, and its products are not tested on animals. You can combine it with an antiperspirant, usually a scentless one.

If you want a natural deodorant that absorbs moisture and kills odor-causing bacteria I suggest you try lemon + baking soda. It's cheap and green!

Certain Dri; its basically like the Drysol described above, but no prescription needed as its sold over the counter. You also apply this at night, and you literally WILL NOT SWEAT. I have used it before and its pretty incredible.

Well Klima works like a charm it worked on me not for the five days that they tout on their website see link below but at the very least for three days. Since I come from the warmer climes on the equator to be precise it is simply magical and it has a nice scent too.
Whats more you ca order for it via the internet it was made in the netherlands and this is what the makers say."Klima is a European based producer of powerful antiperspirants for underarms, hands, and feet, and is designed to prevent sweating for those who suffer from severe wetness and odor. Once available by prescription in the Netherlands, Klima is now available to the US market through the internet. 99% of customers believe Klima to be the best antiperspirant they have ever used and would either purchase again, or recommend Klima to a friend".
So much for the marketing hype it has been good to me so far.

Mitchum: It is by far the best available. It leaves no marks; it has varied scents available. It advertises on the stick that it lasts for 24 hours.

I think that Gillette Clinical Strength is the best antiperspirant/deodorant for men. It has a nice fresh smell and keeps you dry all day.

Try a more natural product

such as Toms of Maine-less chemicals and 'side effects'

http://www.tomsofmaine.com/products/deodorant.aspx

it is available in most supermarkets

you can also look in places like Whole Foods or trader Joes--they have other organic/natural deodorants-although I have not tried them (I am actually allergic to any solid deodorant)--my friend swears by them


FYI--i have tried teh $20 OTC 'prescription' deodorants-and hated it--didn't work any better

Well, I'm assuming that you need an antiperspirant. Non-antiperspirant deodorants have the advantage of not discoloring your clothing. The chemicals used in antiperspirant, on the other hand, do. Your not likely to find any antiperspirant that actually does the job but won't stain your clothing. If such a chemical were available, they would all be making use of it.

Next, what type. Solids have been shown to work least well, aerosols best, roll-ons nearly as good.

Arid Extra Dry is supposed to be the best (as far as antiperspirant capabilities go - I think consumer reports is my source, from a while ago). Personally, I cant stand the chemical makeup of aerosol deodorants. They literally give me an extremely painful sore throat that lasts up to an hour.

The best roll-on for men is Mitchum. Slightly expensive but has an excellent odor and does the job of an antiperspirant well.

If money is an issue, the best roll-on for men is Arm & Hammer. The scent suffers (sort of baby-powderish), but it works just as well as the better stuff.

I only use deodorants since antiperspirants have aluminum in them and this was connected to Alzheimer's awhile back. I don't know if it still is.

About brands, I like the smell of Old Spice http://pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/26371/200.jpg
original the best.

For nontoxic, a deodorant impregnated with silver will some day be sold. Bacteria can't live in an environment that has silver. Maybe that's why rich people have always like to eat off silver and a big gift at a baby shower is a silver feeding spoon. I couldn't fin a modern reference. Maybe somebody else can point out where one can buy such an item.

What is most important here is the active ingredient in the deodorant, and the strength of that ingredient. Most "deodorants" help you in two ways: by smelling nice and preventing sweat. The actual "deodorant" is just scented, but inactive, ingredients. It is the ANTI-PERSPIRANT that is the active ingredient--usually Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrx GLY. Look for the highest percentage of this that you can find for a more powerful sweat preventer, regardless of brand or fragrance.(Just look at the BACK of the package, where it says "active ingredient"). I recommend Secret Platinum Soft Solid--any scent you like!

The Soft Solid formula contains nifty Olay conditioners and also blends in really well -- if you apply it deftly enough it won't leave your armpits looking a stark and obvious white. Most importantly, this deodorant does a great job at keeping me fresh and dry . So even if the scent doesn’t suit your fancy, any of the other scents in the line will keep you just as dry.


Secret also makes a new prescription strength product. I have not tried it yet, as it is somewhat expensive, but it might be worth looking into. You can also go to a dermatologist, and they will give you a prescription you can put on (every few nights, at night only, it kind of burns a little bit if you shave, but it really does help).

You can also try Adidas 24hr deo control pure powder." its supposedly supposed too make you sweat less because it has no aluminum.

Dove also works wonders! Plus it keeps you soft which is a bonus

Thanks for information about the Klima Antiperspirant! I bought a bottle and it worked beautifully. I have been super dry and totally odor free for the past 15 days. This is a miracle for a heavy sweater like me! Thanks for the info and I will be ordering Klima again soon.
