Recommend a good deodorant - i'm desperate!

Options
Hiya!
I have tried so many deodorants and am now at a loss as what to try/do next. I sweat loads more than a 'normal' person. I have even tried those special ones that are for people who sweat too much and nothing is working for me! I am 17 and it's quite embarrassing and restricts what colours I can wear. Nightmare!
So, any suggestions please!!!

    Have you tried Driclor? http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100000855.html
    You can read some reviews here: http://www.ciao.co.uk/Reviews/Driclor__6267651
    You can buy it in Boots, and you may be able to get it on prescription if you go to see your doctor.

    Perhaps the doctor would be a good port of call anyway if it's a real problem for you?
  • have you tried mitchum? its good .if you have worth trying mens-dont be insulted no-one would know! x if still no good the docs can prescribe stronger deodrants!---hope this helps! x

  • also diet wise - are you drinking min 2litres water a day and avoid too much teas/caffiene/alcohol and spicy foods....these can contribute. have you checked with doctor re: thyroid glands -
  • The original Sanex roll-on in the white bottle thing is really very good...

    Another vote for Mitchum - I wouldnt use anything else
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future
  • another vote for mitchum - the roll on version is great
  • Yep Mitchum here too, it comes in more 'feminine' scents and containers now too, as well as 'unscented'. Its available from most supermarkets and cheaper per ml than most deos. (larger bottle). Strongest after Mitchum is Drichlor most tesco's sell it now too.
  • Botox ;)

    Seriously.

    i;d go to your GP to see if there is a medical issue
    i used to sweat heaps, all the over the counter non sweat deodorants and normal ones never worked for me
    since being told i have a underactive thyroid and on medication for it i dont sweat as much

    not saying this is your problem but it may be worth being looked into
