I use the Adidas for Women Action 3 Intensive (orange lid) I work in a hot hospital ward, in a nylon uniform, so I sweat absolute buckets and its the only one I've found that a) Im not horribly allergic to, b) actually works, and c) is still on at the end of the day.
Only downside is that its expensive but I've discovered you can get it in my local Poundland!!! I tried Sure last month as it was on offer and I found I had to reapply it in the middle of the day as it wasnt working... needless to say when I do my monthly stock-up tomorrow will be buying Adidas again!

Home Bargains stock Adidas for Women, and I think it was the one you mentioned, I know the ones I bought had orange lids. I'm sure it was under £1 but can't remember how much.

For me, it was the other way round, I find Sure is the only one that really works for me. Hubby decided to pinch my Adidas and it brought him out in the most horrific rash I've seen, his skin is still slightly marked a few months on, but I had no problems at all.

I think wearing the same product all the time can diminish the anti-perspirant effect and for that reason I never wear the same product in the winter as in the summer. For winter where keeping wetness at bay often isn't that necessary for me I use whatever Asda, Superdrug or the supermarket has on offer and then in the summer I switch back to my beloved Mitcham unscented and I haven't noticed that the formulation isn't working as well as before as others have found.

I double up. I like sure but you could try this with a cheaper brand. use a roll on, let it dry then use a spray as a "second coat". this works for me.

also, try chaging your soap. I found that when I used cheap soap or highly perfumed soap then the deodorant wouldn't work. I use imperial leather, not the chapest but I buy it in bulk when its on offer and it lasts until it has all been used, unlike other soap which I end up throwing half away as it goes nasty, slimy and falls apart.
