Best deodorant?

FairyShazza

I used to use Sanex roll on which was good but I then tried Mitchum and haven’t looked back. Yes it is slightly more expensive but it is the most effective deodorant I have found and I don’t think I’d bother with anything else now.

I find a bottle lasts me ages anyway so I don’t mind spending the extra money on it although I try to get it from places like Savers or Bodycare as they seem to have better deals on it

I have to be careful with roll ons as certain brands (Sure, Dove, Right Guard) give me a nasty rash for some reason

The doctor can prescribe you prescription deodrant such as Driclor.

I used to use Mitchum roll on and loved it but they changed the formula and it stopped working so well. Long term users did you find this too?

Yep me too:) I had been using and loving it for years, I tried Sanex which was ok in the winter but rubbish in the summer and then Sure extra protection the spray this was better but still not wonderful so now I use Mitchum on non hot days and Mitchum and a touch of Sure on hot days and this seems to work - for now anyway:)

Mitchum roll-on for me too.
I suffer "anxiety" underarm sweat and find this by far the most effective. Last couple of times Boots were doing half price I stock up.

Sure Maximum Protection for me. I can't use the Driclor types, my skin is too sensitive, or any roll-ons. Don't think that Mitchum works well for me either. If I'm just home and not doing very much then I use Dove Original in the 'mushroom' type packaging. For some reason I thought that worked better than other packaging. But if I'm out at all, and when I bath at night (ie as well as the morning), then I use the Sure Max Protection. I get it from BodyCare and it's much cheaper there.

I have mega sensitive skin and my psoriasis flares up big style if I have a reaction to anything - I find it so hard to find a deo that suits. I work in a hot hospital ward doing quite a physical job and wear a polyester uniform so obviously sweat quite a bit!! the only ones I've found that suit are the Nivea ones - my faves are Pearl Beauty and Double Protection or something - they keep work really well and keep me smelling sweet. Only downside is that they are soooooo expensive

I also use this and get mine from Savers, they tend to be around £3.50 which is a saving from the rrp of £5+ (33% saving)

I use mitchum unscented and bulk buy when its 3.00 for 2 in s@insury. It lasts twice as long as normal. Only time I came unstuck was when I went away to SW France and it was extremely hot; I developed were extremely painful lumpy spotsthe size of carbuncles in my armpits.

I slowly put 2 and 2 together; it was being too effective and my sweat glands couldn't cope. I left off until I got back and things normalised under normal conditions.

Its worth knowing that this could happen, and its only my theory, but this may prevent a panicky trip to doctor. Still worth the trip, but not the panic.
