I am unhappy with my anti-perspirant.
I have been using Right Guard Sport "Cool" Stick. I love the scent, but as an anti-perspirant, especially as the weather is getting warmer, it's really not cutting it at all.
Recommendations?

Hi Andy -
Thanks for your comment on my comment the other day.
To avoid the perspiration, just don't do anything until you're about to get in the tub or shower.
That might work in Arizona or Colorado, but come August in Manhattan, just breathing is a sweat-inducing activity.
How about the Arrid XX stick? That's worked well for me.
Mennen talcum stick. Several scents, including neutral.
I've been using Degree Solid Shower Fresh for about a year. It's pretty good. I hate it when my anti-perspirant stops working...or starts itching so bad that I can't use it anymore.
Unfortunately, as many recommendations as you get, anti-perspirant works differently on every person, so what works for one might not work for another. Jess hates the Degree solid because it doesn't work for him, but I think it works great.
Hmm ...
At first glance, I misread "Mennen talcum stick" as "mene, mene tekkel upharsin". Which isn't the same thing. At all.
I just started using the clear gel stuff. I hadn't used deoderant in the past 7 years. Funny what a bf will do.
This is probably the best opportunity I'll ever have to share the following story about the great German contralto Ernestine Schumann-Heink who sang at the Metropolitan Opera in the early part of the 20th century.
She went to the apothecary and asked for talcum powder. "Mennen's?" the clerk asked. "No, vimmen's," she replied. "Would you like it scented?" he asked. "Nein, I'll take it vit me."
With all this German-themed discussion, have you considered renaming your blog "die letzte Debatte"?
Ummm...nein.
Wow, that was a reach: "mene, mene, tekel, upharsin." Wasn't that the writing on the wall that Daniel interpreted for Belshazzar?
i'm with the europeans on this one. two squirts of eu de toillete under each pit and i'm good to go all day. you just have to find the right one for your body oil. i happen to like bulgari's aqua. it's a very shower fresh smell. and for $65 it lasts me a year.
to stop sweat, the canadians sell a roll on product not available in the US. i forget the name. my old roommate used to use it. it has no smell and is a rather clear liquid.
Marc: yup. I've been working for hours on a "writing on the wall"/deodorant pun, but...I don't think there is one. : (
Tribecatexan: thanks for the advice! Unfortunately -- and if this is TMI, you can stop reading -- with me it's a wetness issue. I am luckily not a stinky-sweaty person; there's really hardly any odor at all, thankfully. But I'm pitting out in a big way and staining my shirts -- ew!!! That needs to stop.
Sure. best anti-persperant i've ever used.
as long as you don't get one of those hippie crystals you're ok. You can laught at me for this but I find that women's deodorant works better than anything for guys. Powder Fresh Secret is the way to go.
I have used Mitchum "So effective you can skip a day" Super Solid - Scented for years.
You cannot buy it on the street (at least in LA) you have to special order it from the Revlon Company Store in Arizona. 888 465 5592.
They are $1.99 each and, $5 per order for shipping and handling. Both my bf and I use it. Each stick lasts an eternity compared to the speed stick used to use back in the mid 1990's.
I buy 24 sticks at a time and that lasts us like 3 years.

Yeah, I always love people who tell you not to use commercial deodorant because it contains aluminum which causes Alzheimer's. (It's in the family, I'm getting it anyway.) They urge you to go natural and use one of those rock crystal deodorants. Apparently they never noticed it's a big hunk of aluminum salt. Silly hippies.
