Old spice Red Zone. No issues with burns/red marks here.

I avoid using anti-perspirant since I had heard it has metals in it that can potentially lead to alzheimers. I dont know if the alzheimers thing has any truth to it but I figure its probably not a great thing to be stopping your body from perspiring anyways. Deodorant works good enough for me.

Timely thread.

I'm looking for a new deodorant. Used to use Old Spice but it made my armpits burn (seems consistent with others here)

I tried Dove next. It was very strong smelling, I couldn't bring myself to pollute the office like that.

I'll try some of the others on here next.

I read about that too but then disregarded it since I sweat enough through my ass anyway.

I also find the antiperspirant to be far more effective at odor control. In the deodorant days I'd often have to top up throughout the day to maintain. One good coating of antiperspirant makes it through the whole day.

Axe is garbage. It lasts 2 hours and then my pits smell like onions. I have 2 or 3 sticks sitting in my drawer that I can't use.

I use Old Spice, but in a pinch will use my wife's deodorant with a layer of axe on top to cover up the girlie smell. Not sure why, but womens deodorant is 10 times better than mens.

I hate deodorants. Especially clear gels.
I was addicted to this stuff for 10ish years. I was travelling a lot at the time when they started phasing it out. So I has multiple cans returning with me quite often. Not a fan of the new Old Spice stuff, so I switched to Degree sticks and have been a fan ever since.

Old Spice Original. Also, Tron's suggestion has more than the ring of truth to it. I use my wife's sage-scented deodorant all the time.

During a trip, I forgot to pack my deodorant so bought a hypoallergenic deodorant from Vichy at the local drug store. It did the job well so i bought a big multi-pack to bring home. I've been using it since.

Thanks for the Dove comments. I'm like you guys where I just get whatever brand name one is on sale (which is usually Old Spice), but yeah it can be a little strong. I don't get rashes from it, but I find it gives me pit stains. I'm deff gonna pick up some Dove next time, sale or not.

+1 for Dove for men if I need a stick deodorant.

However, a good spritz or two of a nice spicy cologne approx at my solar plexus seems to keep a good lasting odor in a good location. Less likely for some aerosol or chemical to cause a reaction around my arm pits.

I would recommend Lady Speed Stick but that probably wouldn't be up your alley.

Mitchum unscented deodorant. I don't like antiperspirants, and I don't like a fake-smelling scent on me all day.

Totally opposite. Love the clear gels.

Dove for men.

I know everybody says antiperspirent dove for men but it has aluminum. I heard aluminum and sweat is what causes pit stains. I also thought the ingredients in anti perspirent were toxic? Isn't deoderant better for you?
