    I sweat excessively and have a physical job: another vote for Mitchum, stick is not as good as the roll on. Aerosols are least effective and most white IMO. If you sweat more than average you would likely benefit from daily application, without a wash if needs be.

  • I think I am guilty of overspraying and also maybe over applying in general! That fear that if not enough is applied then i will smell later.
    OH says its in my head and I am one of the least likely people in my home to smell as i live in bath.......do try explaining to him that i do this so I can wash away stale deodorant.

    I sweat a lot when my anxiety is high of which i am trying to control.

    I used Mitchum but hated the sticky feel and smell after sweating, so I found this natural store cupboard concoction on Makeup Alley and have been using this with good results and it smells nice all the time even after sweating. I make the paste by adding coconut oil/teatree and put onto damp armpits and rub in until dry.

    I add some tea tree as well for extra antibacterial strength. I also made a body spray of bicarbonate soda and citronella essential oil which I regularly spray when I cannot get a wash etc.
