Deodorant - S/D

Lynx smells nice to start with but totally doesn't prevent BO.

D: lynx, obviously. also mitchum, which destroyed loads of my t-shirts before i worked out what was going on.

LYNX doesn't make me question it

Branding falls down once you realise that either way it STINKS LIKE THE DEVIL'S KNOBCHEESE. I feel sick just thinking about it.

Search: a nice non-scented roll-on pls. Most male spray deodorants make my eyes sting and run, which COULD be a good pulling technique as I wouldn't be able to see if you were ugly.

I'd have been surprised if it had been any other way tbh.

I try and get a present of a nice roll on deodorant where possible for birthdays/xmas etc from a member of the family. I think all deodorants smell better in roll on form, currently I have ALLURE Chanel pour homme which my Dad got but didn't like. it does the job ok.

Yeah, I always use roll-on too... It's handier to apply, and doesn't leave a cloud behind, plus it's environment-friendlier. I can't see any good reason for using a spray.

(suddenly i've got careless whisper in my head)

agreed

Medium duty: Right Guard clear gel antiperspirant

Heavy duty: Mitchum roll-on or clear gel antiperspirant

Not true. I don't get much BO but I know that by the end of the afternoon I have to keep my arms by my sides if I've forgotten to put on deodorant. It's not a *horrible* smell, like 2 day old BO, but it's a bit too pungent and musky to be acceptable in public. If, however, you don't care that other people might find you a bit repulsive, then by all means, knock yourself out.

but thats mainly for the design on the tin

Typing with my arms held out to the side at a ninety degree angle is not easy.

It's really cheap, but harder to find than other brands so when I am in the Walgreens in the Loop that sells it I stock up.

You think one shower can get rid of that stuff? Or that the natural sweat mechanisms will re-adjust in one day? No, you have to ween yourself off that stuff.

No way. My dad has never worn deoderant or antiperspirant and he can get rank. Same with my brother's father in law. Perhaps after some time you will adjust to your own stench and think you don't stink, but dollars to doughnuts you do to other people.

Also the people behind the Axe 'Gamekillers' campaign should be beheaded.

Someone should make a deodorant called Hammer & Sickle

It is this prescription shit that stops sweating for a week.

Personally I prefer the Botox approach.

Wouldn't that make you smell a bit musky?

Tom's of Maine has been sold to COlgate. WHat a bunch of sellouts. THeir products dont work anyway. Their mouthwash is more for drinking than washing.

then a touch of that

works just fine (except with certain tshirts that ALWAYS smell like as soon as i've put them on. wtf?) and doesn't stink of chemicals

destroy
everything that stinks of chemicals, obv. lynx.

i can't believe i've never tried this speed stick regular before. it's amazing! great smell, and i love the texture - it has that smooth glidey thing. similar to OldSpice but better, IMO - the texture is smoother, less abrasive.

http://a1468.g.akamai.net/f/1468/580/1d/pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/11764/100.jpg

It can be negative 30 degrees and I'll still sweat through my clothes. Which is why I use the above. I'm sure it'll give me Alzheimer's, but at least I don't have to wear all black all the time anymore.

I don't know how to use images. :(

My mom uses that stuff, too, and I've been thinking about it bcz man, yeah, I get hella sweaty just sitting around in my air conditioned house. Fortunately not face sweat tho.

wat? images? jst look at bottom of ur screen duders - instructions

http://a1468.g.akamai.net/f/1468/580/1d/pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/11764/100.jpg

that wadnt so hard

hahaha see ; )

just talking to friend. it seems all her male friends like the gliding/smooth/gely kind of deodorants. not the actual gels ones that come out of the holes - she says her male friends hate those. and no one seems to really like the invisible solids either. this is all exactly how i feel.

but what we're wondering is, why is it so hard to find the gliding/smooth/gely ones? i feel like the only ones i know of are Old Spice, Speed Stuck, some of the Bruts (which i NEVER find), and this random one called Rexona or something.

i just always find the invisible solids and the gel ones now, i feel like they're phasing the Old Spice/SpeedStick genre out!

I LOVE funk butter!! It's natural and it totally works like no other. Plus, you can't argue with a name like that...

http://oyinhandmade.com/oyin/images/funkbuttr.JPG

lol WHAT? how the hell do u put that on?

It's a cream deodorant, so you just rub it in.

whaaaaaaaaaaaa

your mind is so easily blown

funk butter looks like my kinda deodorant

ha i dunno i think i rly prefer not getting it all on my hands. and there's something to the GLIDE action that is very pleasing to me

It's not messy! I swear! Once you get the hang of it, it's totally fine. It's also BY FAR the best natural stuff I've ever used.

One of the most annoying things about being back in NYC for the summer is that I am back to wearing deodorant again. Sigh.

Like, I just went through a stick! I've had the same stick of deodorant for years, but now I go to NYC and woof it's gone. I got a new stick for my birthday. Tom of Finland's unscented. It's OK, but.

Are you sure this is Tom of Finland's and not Tom of Maine's? Because I think 'Tom of Finland's' would just smell of spooj and manflop.

Well, that is the joke, yes.

Oh man, okay, bcz that's the kind of thing I would honestly get mixed up about, leading to mockery.

tom's of maine never ever worked for me.

u know, i used to love their gingerMint toothpaste, but i really didn't feel like it was like, CLEANING, my teeth. i felt like i was just putting batter in my mouth or something

yeah, tom's of maine is weak. I'm not crazy about the toothpaste, either.

and believe me, you do NOT want to use the Tom of Finland toothpaste.

also, what exactly is "manflop"?

that is the best question i've heard all day.

Kenan, next time I'm in Chicago I'll show you.

Also I use the Tom of Wherever's fennel toothpaste usually. (Someone gave me a bunch of spearmint so I'm working through that these days.)

I've heard it's a lovely "after dinner" toothpaste.

well cuz it tastes like dessert

burt's bees toothpaste is pretty good (not sudsy but i like that)
i was using anise toothpaste from green beaver and then bought the cilantro-mint flavour and it is okay but mostly a bit weird

I think fennel is too mature of a flavor for me to classify it in the dessert category.

The great thing about Tom's toothpastes is that it doesn't taste like your applying sugar directly to your teeth like mainstream toothpastes do.

I totally agree about the sugar thing. I think I'm currently using some kind of natural toothpaste but it's a gel instead of a paste. maybe nature's gate? The last tube I had of tom's was maybe the cinnamint...

That Funk Butter looks amazing, and contains my current favorite ingredient baking soda. Also, plant fibers? Have to try it out. WTF, it comes in 3 "flavors"? Hahaha!

lol well fennel yes, but some of the other toms really taste like a baking something or other

fennel, damn i've never heard of that

omg i really can't do gels. i'm a DIE HARD colgate paster

i kno baking soda rules

i can vouch for the unscented & the black cedar fig funk butter. those are the two I've used. my co-worker bought the coco-mango & it's smells too tropical beach for my tastes.

I use my body's own natural deodorant.

I am still laughing at spooj and manflop. Played by Alan Arkin and Elliott Gould.

I don't usually bother with deodorant. I go out for a walk in the morning, have a shower when I come home, see nobody all day long, who am I trying to impress? I only put it on when I'm going somewhere. I use this one:

http://www.betterlife.com/dbimages/11261.jpg

It works really well on me.

Funk butter is ooblik for your armpits. With magical stink-fighting properties.

no deodorant, no anti-perspirant, JUST REAL SMELL

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/IMAGES/ARG/20958.jpg

Haha!

Alas, though the funk butter works, 3 days of use have given me a miserably itchy red rash. It's a sad fact.

oh no! i hate that, that's the worst.

btw wat do we think of the mitchum man ads? i see them all over the subways

"if you've ever given up your seat for a woman

you're a mitchum man"

?

Mitchum ROCKS. we don't have those ads in the uk though - in fact, we don't have any ads for Mitchum at all.

Oh wait, yes we do: "So effective you could even skip a day" (YOU FILTHY DIRTY STOPOUT SLAAAAGS, PITY THE DEODORANT DOESN'T COME WITH A FREE SPARE PAIR OF KNICKERS AMIRITE?)

okay but my impression has always been that it's kind of MILD, you know, and i don't want my deodorant to like ear off.

can u clarify?

Mitchum is stronger than most. It has 18% of whatever is anti-antiperspirant bit compared to most brands 15-16.

In the UK, mitchum is (sold as) the strongest non-prescription stuff on the market, for the super-sweaty/stinky. I am potentially both of these, and I've never found anything to beat it (which is not to say it's flawless, but it's still the best I've used).

Me too. :( (sad face for being one of the super-sweaty)

really?! i'm totally surprised. i really always tought it was like milder for some bizarre reason. i must try it b/c i've always loved the consistency.

heh:

this is my pick of the day:

http://dedicated.cf.ac.uk/reviewspix3/Mitchum-Deod.jpg

"If you only ever see a doctor when you've got something broken - you're a Mitchum man"

Secret. it's made for a woman, but it's strong enough for a man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A man who wants to smell like a woman!

got issey miyake about two months ago, smells great, still lots left. fuck cheap deodorants from now on.

Tetrachlorohydrex Gly 19% otc (higher rx)

if not, you stank.

buying deodorant makes me feel like a sex offender. it's all aimed at people who want to trick girls via pheremones into sleeping with them. you'd think it was made for spraying at people's eyes to incapacitate them.

so i started getting deodorants that smell like fruit. the only problem is that they don't use enough chemicals to be sticky. or they come in stick form. which is like putting lip balm on your body.

deodorant makes my armpits itch

i only get that with some. you used to be able to get normal deodorant and anti-perspirant deodorant, and as far as i can tell the latter is something that glues your pores and glans shut so that you absorb and cannibalise your sweat. but now it just seems to be the latter kind that's available.

http://www.tomsofmaine.com/toms/product.asp?dept_id=500&pf_id=BW-ND

the latter is something that glues your pores and glans shut

ur doin it rong

lolololol

Reviving this thread just to say...
Gi11ette "Arctic 1ce" smells like old man's vinegary body odour. Why have they done this? Maybe it's part of a new range that includes "faint smell of wee" and "eau de Werthers"...

I ran out yesterday so I bought some more last night. I got up this morning and it has disappeared! Either one of my housemate's have run off with it, or I dreamed the whole episode.

Tom's of Main long-lasting (you must get the "Long-Lasting" or you will smell like the parking lot at a Dead show within an hour) apricot works pretty well and makes my arm pits smell like fruit! I still use srs bznz antiperspirant in the summer, though, because I'm a professional woman and I can't be smelling like arm pit at work.

I always use women's deodorants. I hate the way almost all men's deodorants have this really strong, (supposedly) masculine odour. Women's deodorants are usually much more neutral, the odour is barely noticeable, which is what I prefer.

tuomas, i would suggest this:

http://www.talkingmakeup.com/pics/ban/ban.jpg

I don't think that one's available in Finland.

you might be able to get it online?

Nah, I'm sure it's doesn't smell good anyway.

lol

I

the last time i flew they were digging through my bag at security, and the dude took out my Tom's and said, "yo man, this is the best deodorant, right?!"

I'm a big fan of Certain Dri. It's an antiperspirant that you put on before you go to bed. After you've been using it for a while, you can cut back to putting it on every three days and it still works better than anything else I've tried. (I use it almost every night anyway because I'm horrible at keeping track.) Plus, it's unscented, which is nice because I've always hated smelling like artificial fruit/flowers/whatever.

OK I just got that now. lol.

Not giving myself cancer just so you don't have to smell me.

There is only one answer to this problem - a little tub of cream called Trust. It doesn't stop you sweating but it stops the sweat from smelling. You spread a small amount of it under your arms and it lasts for days.

been going deodorant-free 3 or 4 days a week this summer, has been working out okay imo. once it starts cooling down I think I might be done altogether

xxps - there's no conclusive evidence that deodorant causes any kind of health problems at all

let's not let facts get in the way of a self-righteous non-sequitur in a thread which hasn't been active in six years

every single deodorant i've ever used makes my underarms itchy - i use it anyway cos itchy is better than stinking - but it is a source of frustration.

xpost - lol

i usually don't care too much about particular brands or products but i have to say, gillette cool wave deodorant is actually pretty awesome

http://i.imgur.com/qRI6bJz.jpg

through the years i have received several unsolicited compliments about the way my armpit area smells. i usually follow up on these compliments by noting that if someone else can smell my deodorant, i probably have too much on (similar to what word on the street is about cologne/perfume), but i am always reassured that no, it's not like that, it's just that gillette cool wave has a nice smell which is surprisingly refreshing even after a long day in the sun.

high is 97 today so i put some deodorant on

toms of maine unscented is pretty good ime

I like as close to unscented as I can find - I tend to wear an aftershave or whatever.

every single deodorant i've ever used makes my underarms itchy - i use it anyway cos itchy is better than stinking - but it is a source of frustration.

many brands give me an itchy rash too. some of the others actually make my sweat stink more in a very thick chemically way, like I am suddenly oozing petrol from not just my underarms but all my pores, it's p. gross

Sure (iirc) always did this to me and a couple of years ago Dove changed their formula and started doing it too. v. much hoping it doesn't happen to Nivea so I have to ask myself whether natural stink beats weird petrol stink beats itching, for me

the only difference I could see between the old and new Dove ingredients was tocopheryl acetate but apparently this is just vitamin E and nobody else on the internet has a problem with it (plus it's in other things I have no problem with) so ???

more information than you ever wanted about my armpits

I must say that I kinda like how Old Spice has thrown all caution to the wind and gone for full-metal campy metabranding. Currently I have the kind that says "prepare to be kissed on the beak of man power."

I know it's corny, but jesus, it's just deodorant. Most are interchangeable and one might as well have some fun with it.

Mine may be the same, the package commends me with "For guys with swift minds". Advertising content on website is:

When Hawkridge tilts its head back, opens its razor-sharp beak and screeches, “KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKK” what women hear is, “Here is a man who desires endless face touchings by the smoothest, softest, tenderest, most sanitized hands imaginable, and you are the woman with those hands.” And then all of that happens just like Hawkridge kind of said.

vit E can def be irritating!

I did the Certain Dri hard core stuff (which you apply at night) and it was v. itch-inducing. Arid Xtra Dry unscented is now the household gender-neutral deoderant of choice.

i dabbled in "hawkridge" too but these days i go for "swagger". the best way of describing the semiotics around the "swagger" brand (and all these labels have gone way past deodorant, at this point; there is swagger and hawkridge and WOLFTHORN everything) is probably to note that every time i look at the bottle that says "SWAGGER - GEL DOUCHE" i laugh. but i needed some swagger.

guy at work was not selling anyone on the virtues of rock salt last week by virtue of fact he smells bad

wait, what? he expects to ward off body odour by rubbing rock salt on his body? thaat seems a) painful and b) ineffective, although i guess he might well be nicely exfoliated in the areas he's been rubbing

you should stroke his rock-salted areas and report back on whether his epidermis is smooth and inviting

it'll be fine, just tell him that people on the internet want to know how baby-soft his skin is

I use Right Guard, which works really well. But at the moment the TV ad is some terrible geek-dance-on-a-basketball-court thing, while the packaging itself has things like 'Lock-Fresh Technology' (with a picture of a padlock of course because what else) and 'Total Defence 5' (which sounds like a Man From UNCLE parodying TV show).

let's just all pretend that this also includes a stick of deoderant

https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfl1/v/t1.0-9/11986924_10153312029801865_8834518710163447358_n.jpg?oh=c3e80fa408b2f560edbc9d03ac9f467a&oe=56A661D9

Darragh do you mean like this stuff?

http://herbaliz.com/images/body-crystal-stone.jpg

idk maybe?

like calstars I won't knowingly spread metals on my skin and I have had trouble finding a deodorant that works until just last week when I bought some knockoff AXE spray from the dollar store and that shit works CRAZY well. no it is not a refined nor sophisticated scent, but they (it's called Powerstick or something) make like 15 different scents so just find the least offensive one. i think it might be the alcohol in the spray, which I guess is not in such high concentration in sticks/gels.

Anybody who foregoes deodorant/antiperspirant because you don't need it: I encourage you to verify this observation with a third party before proceeding.

i've never regularly worn deodorant in my life.

CA otm.

yea this summer has been a little bit of challenge to forego it completely bc it has been super hot but i think i'd be fine most days the rest of the year

also i do not really mind the smell of b.o.? and in many cases i find it attractive. though tbh i think a b.o. i find attractive correlates w/ people i find attractive

carl, actually there is another way to check. if you have the abcc11 gene that prevents you from stinking, you will most likely have dry earwax

there have been a number of really attractive people i've known in my life who don't wear it and you can definitely smell it but i always found the smell very alluring rather than repulsive on them

same, v slight b.o. is nice

idk if i have that gene but i seriously just don't have a smell. i'm a cat or something. even when i've worn a shirt a few days in a row it doesn't really smell like typical b.o., just slightly animalic and stale.

I'm not saying any of you need deodorant. I'm just saying double check whether you're just used to your own smell because you know who you don't want to be? The person who's all "I never wear deodorant! I don't need it!" who smells like a pile of wet gym towels fermenting in old chicken soup.

Also it's reasonable to keep in mind that as much as you may enjoy the smell of certain people's bo, not everybody may enjoy the smell of yours. If we were all living out on the plains in micro-tribes who use scent to find other members that would be one thing but the odds are good you are sharing a smallish indoor space with someone who may not find your odor enticing.

Just like wearing a shit ton of cologne is rude, so flaunting your bo.

I'm not accusing any of you of doing this! Just encouraging you to be mindful of how you are impacting your environment.

And yes I have personally known multiple "I don't need deodorant! I don't smell!" people who were, in fact, very stinky.

i have an ex who at one point started, er, cultivating his stank. not incidentally, we stopped having sex around the same time.

he also usually wore vetiver oil so the two combined have ruined that for me (prob similarly to patchouli for some ppl)

omg don't get me started on body odor as a political statement...

but yeah I think patchouli smells really nice when it's not covering up the fact that somebody hasn't had a bath in two weeks.

oh i love patchouli

yea i like a mild body scent and i won't say i don't smell altogether but i don't think i'm excessive

i am most mindful about wearing deodorant during the work week

on the weekends i don't really care since i am just around friends and family

shaving yr pits makes up for a lot tbh

I always use women's deodorants. I hate the way almost all men's deodorants have this really strong, (supposedly) masculine odour. Women's deodorants are usually much more neutral, the odour is barely noticeable, which is what I prefer.

i think that is not true? xp

i've never shaved my pits though

tuomas/k3vin k, dove unscented actually still has a scent, but very light, if you're looking for something milder

That N/A post is all time.

Shaving one's pits will somewhat reduce their odor. Hair tends to retain odors. That fact is the probable evolutionary reason for armpit hair. Because odor is often a means of communication, including but not limited to, sexual attraction. Personally, I prefer to wash my pits and not use deodorant. Some smell is acceptable to me, just not powerful waves of aroma.

just shave em

go on

shave em

I didn't wear any today and it was 90 degrees out and shared a crowded elevator with my boss late in the day
Tomorrow I'll be wearing it

too late

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31k-KQa7NGL._AC_UL320_SR214,320_.jpg

for life.

there's a forgotten deodorant i wore during a particularly winning stretch of my life.. vague olfactory memories stir up nostalgic emotions

There is also the issue that people with particularly musky BO, while it may not be a strictly BAD smell, it can be very...personal. Like, I don't necessarily want to know the intimate scents of men I'm not sleeping with just because their indifference toward showering or doing laundry leads them to broadcast their musk everywhere.

I thought I didn't need deodorant for a certain period of my life, not least because even gels that were supposed to be non-staining would still leave marks on my clothes (often vintage, often polyester). But one day on my way to an Easter dinner at someone's family home I was embarrassed by my own BO accumulated from just walking and taking the subway and getting to a far-flung part of the city. So I bought some antiperspirant on my way there and never looked back.

I find deodorant pretty essential in NYC summers, but I can only stand the unscented kind.

I mean we have this combination of heat and humidity and gross air and human density and widespread use of public transit here, just hard to justify not using it.

I tend to use stuff from LUSH. One of the solid bars called something like T'eo which is pretty powdery and one that's like a solidified gel that's like coconut white/grey

particularly musky BO

this is just people who don't wash their clothes. fresh bo is forgivable, musky takes a serious amount of neglect and disdain.

Some discussion of deodorant on the U.S. economy thread, thought I'd revive this so as not to go too off-topic there.

So: I don't wear deodorant or antiperspirant. I did from my teens into my early 30s, and at a certain point I had a discussion with a friend of mine who was like, "Why do you wear deodorant? You shower every day." It was an interesting question and made me wonder if I'd just been sold a bill of goods by the body/beauty industry. So as an experiment, I stopped. And never went back.

This is a totally personal thing, some people sweat more than others, some people probably give off more odor than others, so I'm not being prescriptive. But I actually sweat a fair amount, and in the last 20 years I don't think it has ever mattered that I don't wear deodorant. None of the people I've been in relationships in that time have minded — when I ask, I just get "I like your smell," and I promise my wife would not say that if it actually bothered her. I've even mentioned it to some friends at work, like, "Do you ever notice that I don't wear deodorant?" An odd question, granted, but people always seem genuinely surprised because no, they've never noticed.

I don't think there's anything wrong with deodorants or antiperspirants, but in my years of using them I sometimes would get irritated skin from them. So I'm happy not to mess with it. Just curious if there are other abstainers out there. (Caveat, I do take showers every day, and I often time my bathing to when I'm going to go mingle with people, so I try to maximize my cleanliness for public consumption.)

Pit putty at the moment. I am still on one of the tester size packages. Trying to think what word for package type is, metal screw lid thingy.
Had been using a Better By Nature roll on but couldn't find a refill after finding the container unscrewed so tried this stuff. Found it in the local loose goods store place called The Filling Station. Green place that tries to reuse packaging for the most part but does sell some things in their own containers as well as having a lot of cleaned out plastic bottles etc available.
Think after this I will try another flavour or scent of the same stuff. Since there are 3 or 4 varieties.

company is called Faith In Nature.
Looks like Pit Putty call at least the full size units tubs but thy come in these little metal pot things with screw on lids that are like what you get snuff or something in, maybe popular in cosmetics. small circular things where teh screw on lid takes up about half the height.

Potassium alum - it's the bomb. Seems to be more or less innocuous. A stick costing £4 lasts me around six months. Just use it on freshly clean and wet pits for effectiveness.

Why do they call u noel emits tho

Why is it so hard to find an unscented stick? Most stores seem to carry only one brand; my Target never has any.

i use Arm and Hammer essentials unscented. it works well on me and I've really noticed a positive difference with skin irritation.

i stopped using a long time ago but i tried the crystal but that can clog your pores too so just use a good cleaning when you take a shower!

Right Guard Sport Powder Dry 4 life

I'm among the majority of adult humans for whom soap + water works just fine to keep armpit odors down to acceptable levels for acceptable periods of time between applications.

I don't have a washing machine or lots of 'cllset' space so I prefer it if my clothes can go a bit longer between washes. Also depends on what kind of activities you do, the "majority" of humans are going to be a bit stinky if they do physical work.

I wish I could stop using deodorant/antiperspirant, but as someone whose job it is to wave my arms around in front of a bunch of eagle-eyed middle-schoolers all day, I feel like I need the antiperspirant at the very least.

antiperspirant gives me rashes until I find the kind without aluminum, and 90% of the time i'm buying it, I'm in a convenience store and left to pick from waht they have.

still use it but one time the rash got so bad that I was doing a production of Assassins (rehearsal) and one of my castmates said "YO, Rob, u ok? what's going on in your pits there?"

When I stopped using anything, my shirts became stubbornly uncleanable; I use the crystal antiperspirant.

I use diet antiperspirant

my motto is let the sweat go free wherever thee may be. But I don't go on public transport and am rarely in confined indoor spaces and mainly I just don't care anymore.

My substitute deodorant arrived, and I like it well enough— Weleda Sage 12hr. Pretty inexpensive, too, and works reasonably well. No alum or any crap!
