I need a new deodorant/anti perspirant

So I totally pit out like every fucking shirt I wear. It sucks because I'm not even a sweaty guy, yet my armpits spout fluid like a fucking water fountain.

I've tried a couple varieties of anti-perspirants including Old Spice, Sure, and the much-vaunted Mitchum, yet my shirt sleeves still look like they were used as a slip and slide. Obviously, I can't give up, but what does everyone use? Is there anything that can contain my armpit fury short of plaster of paris?

Latex underwear.

I accidentally bought a/p once and in the course of a week yellowed out the pits of a bunch of great shirts. Now I display those shirts in a memorial monument in my walk-in closet: NEVER AGAIN.

If you get the right deodorant, you'll still sweat, though less fetidly, but your underarm stain won't be as bad. Invest in cleaning products for spots/stains. Wear a t-shirt under your shirt.

Be cooler.

― Huk-L, Friday, 4 February 2005 18:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Cooler like Joe Camel or cooler like an Inuit?

Yes.

I like Degree but I'm also a girl and don't sweat very much so YMMV.

What does the Yemeni Ministry of Motor Vehicles have to do with anything?

― Huk-L, Friday, 4 February 2005 18:27 (twenty-one years ago)

They sweat a lot.

Try to find one with Tea Tree oil in it.

I've been using Tea Tree Oil pomade since Christmas and it's awesome. It's neither greasy nor crusty. It's perfect. It's made a man out of me.

It's all about TUSSY

Tea Tree Oil sounds like something that would smell like patchoulli. I'll need confirmation that it doesn't before I'll seek it out.

Wait, so this shit doubles as an anti-perspirant AND a pomade? Is it made out of magic?

No, it doesn't make you smell like a hippy, it has a kind of aloe-ish smell, but stronger, it's a natural antiseptic.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Friday, 4 February 2005 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

something without alcohol or aluminum, thanks.

So...no beer cans.

― Huk-L, Friday, 4 February 2005 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, they don't work so well.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 4 February 2005 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Try Tom's or Liquid Rock.

― John Biershitz, Friday, 4 February 2005 18:59 (twenty-one years ago)

JASON is a good brand too. I find with Tom's, towards the end of the stick, it starts smelling like me, which is no good. Too weak.

Wearing an undershirt is pretty much essential regardless of deodorant/anti-perspirant!

well that too.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 4 February 2005 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

as long as it's not made out of beer cans.

Hey, now, no need to be so hard on yourself.

Tom's & Liquid Rock: I use da roll-on antiperspirant. They both have buffered alum as opposed to aluminumoxide (or whatever), but it's the kind that won't seep into your pores and give you cancer. If you want to smell like a hippy you're in luck! Liquid Rock actually has a patchouli roll-on if you want to stick that smell right into your pits!

When they're no longer presentable, you can use them for all sorts of household chores. (This is NOT a set up)

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 4 February 2005 19:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah but I experience a lot of day-to-day flux in terms of what functions as an "undershirt" and what goes up front!

I had a friend who used this like industrial strenth stuff that stopped her sweating for a week at a time. I can't remember what it was called, but she needed a prescription for it, so I imagine a doctor would know.
