Getting in Shape

Wedding day Deodorant

I wasn't sure which board to post this question in... but hopefully someone here will have some good suggestions.

Since getting in shape for my wedding (I have dropped 8lbs so far :) I have noticed that I perspriate a lot more then I used to. Also there is the "smelly Pit" issue even though I am wearing a deodorant.
the brands I have used so far are:
Dove
Degree sport
Secret sport
Lady speed stick
and a few of the gel brands as well

I just cant seem to find the "perfect" deodorant and I dont want to be "smelly" on the big day. Does anyone have a suggestion for brands or types that I can test drive now so I dont have to worry on the big day?  Laughing

Re: Wedding day Deodorant

  • I feel your pain. Try Arrid X-Dry...all the others you mentioned stop working for me too. And if Arrid stops working by the time my wedding comes around I am going to the doctor to get a prescription!
  • Secret Clinical Strength -Powder Scent. Expensive but totally worth it!
  • This roll- on Certain-Dri works really well. I have not personally used it, but it has been very successful with FI and with my college roomie!
  • Try any of the clinical strength ones.  I think I used Secret, but that was before Dove came out with theirs.  Since I use Dove every day, I probably would have preferred that.

    Just be sure to read the directions, since you're supposed to apply it at night!

  • I've had good success with the secret clinical strength.  I put it on at night, and I'll put that or degree on in the morning (for the scent).

  • I use arrid with no scent.  Honestly, I find men's deodorant works better than women's (though I've never tried the clinical strength ones because they're expensive) so maybe try an unscented men's one.

  • I use Degree Clinical Strength. I've always been an athlete, so I've ALWAYS had pit problems and have been very self-conscious about it. Dove and Secret don't work for me, but the Degree does. Plus, the grapefuit kind smells good :)

  • Dove clinical strength, and I put it on in the morning since that is when I shower!
  • Secret Clinical Strength in Waterproof FOR SURE!!  I love it!  Ive been using it for a couple of years and was the quite the perspirer before. I know what you mean by the armpit smell. It's not BO, but it's just a smell...  I havent had an issue since I started using Secret Clinical Waterproof.  Hope you find what youre looking for!
  • I use mens deodorant.  It works a lot better, but I haven't tried the women's clinical strength.
  • I have tried Degree, and Secret Clinical Strength. Works great for a week or two and then my body gets used to it and it stops working. I have tried Certain Dry, but it is wet and kinda weird to use, but I think it works pretty good. After reading the reviews I think I'm going to try Arrid next. I got to have this figured out before the big day so I dont have the stinky's.
  • Im starting with the Secret Clinical strength waterproof!
    I'll keep you all posted on how it is working ::)
