Default What kind of deodorant do you guys use?

I've been using Old Spice for years but a few months ago it has caused severe burns/red marks on my armpits and after a quick google search I found this to be a huge problem with Old Spice.

Does anyone have any good recommendations on deodorant that doesn't burn? And still works? Old spice works great but I can't handle the burning sensation any longer.

I did try speed stick but didn't like. It caused my arm pits to start shedding dead skin...and again a quick google search made it apparent that was a major complaint too with speed stick.

What do you guys use?

I used to have problems with rashes and tried all sorts. By far the best is actually form Rocky Mountain Soap Co.(they have a store in the Core). I'm a fairly sweaty guy, and it lasts all day for me. Haven't had a rash since I switched to it, and it works way better than all the other natural ones I tried.

I find the rash goes away when I stop shaving for awhile.

Another vote here for Dove. I had the same issue until I made the switch. Heck for fun I even tried their dry spray and it was good too.

Since I was born, I have been using a single nucleotide polymorphism, Rs17822931 of the ABCC11 gene, causing a near total reduction in bromhidrosis (body odor).

TLDR: I use mutant powers.

I had the same allergic reaction to Old Spice, so I switched to Degree Intense Sport or Cool Rush (switch it up) about 3 years ago, because they work well and also didn't have as many ingredients as Old SPice.

Usually I can get a 2-pak at walmart for 5-6 bucks

Edit: I feel ya - once that reaction started I couldn't lower my arms without crazy pain. walking around the office for a week like I was going to throw a nasty elbow. I found Gold bond helped ease the pain, but increased the discomfort with tingling.

Speed Stick (original) - always seems to be sold out at Safeway and Shoppers. Must be the most popular brand?

Dove/Speed/Old Spice, whichever one is on sale at the time.

Dove in my favourite though. I make sure to pick up several when they go on sale for like $2.
