What's your anti-perspirant of choice?

NIMAN

Last year or so, I have been using a selection of the L'Oreal Mens Expert ones
http://www.boots.com/search/l'oreal+mens+anti-perspirant
They tend to appear on special offer quite often in Boots or Superdrug.

Since most of the brands will do what they say on the tin and stop you sweating, I tend to try to hunt out ones that smell nice, and a few of the L'Oreals fit the bill.

I have also tried this one recently when it was on offer, as its usually quite expensive as its slightly specialist.

So, what do you wear?

Loreal Men Expert aswell, have done for years.

The nicest one is Sensitive Comfort, really fresh, pleasant fragrance.

Sadly it seems to have been discontinued and replaced with Sensitive Control.

That's nice but not as nice as it's predecessor.

Salt Of The Earth

No scent, prevents stank, just a big lump of salt that lasts forever and won't get mentioned going through customs in the hand-luggage. It's the business.

not anti-perspirant but I use the L'oreal Men Export roll on. It's often on promotion in Dunnes for about €1.89 but I find it to be very good and has a nice scent.

Does it stop you sweating though?

Nope. Guess this is the wrong thread for it!

Has anyone found an anti-perspirant that works and prevents sweatstains? I've tried loads of then, both those embarassing patches keep on appearing.

How about one that does not stain white/bright coloured t-shirts? Every white t-shirt I get seems to get destroyed by those horrible yellow stains under the arms.

Try Driclor to stop sweating completely

It's a roll on that's applied at night before going to bed,it can sting a bit.
It Completely stops the sweating wherever applied,It's usually in the pharmacy alongside the women's deodorants.
I always have a bottle handy,especially the night before presentations etc.

Have you tried this? http://www.boots.ie/triple-dry-mens-anti-perspirant-150ml-10087757

Worked a charm for me on my wedding day - I'm a heavy sweater but at the end of a long day my shirt looked and smelt like it hadn't been worn

I have yet to try either of the above ^

Thanks very much, I will definitely look into those.

+1 on Driclor. For a deodorant, I use L'Oreal Men Expert (Shirt Protect), which never leaves stains on clothes.

.red.

Sure Men Maximum Protection, about €7.50 in boots and lasts about 2 weeks. Its a push up cream.
I wear a shirt/tie and trousers for work and need to be in and out of the office all day going from cool air con to warm sun like the last few days. Theres also nothing worse than wearing rain gear in warm weather.
Found this stuff a few weeks ago and so far so good.
Under the arms and a rub down below, no patches and swamp crotch is a thing if the past

A few years ago I tried a L'Oreal anti-perspirant. I'm pretty sure it was a shirt protect one. I found it actually ruined two of my shirts, I was annoyed so I wrote a letter to L'Oreal complaining about the sticky wet residue it left on me and my shirt...so what did they do? Sent me a voucher for more of the same anti-perspirant. :rolleyes:

I dunno, maybe I was using it wrong. Haven't gone near it since.

Right Guard is my choice.

This. As a heavy sweater it is no exaggeration to say that Driclor has been life changing - it just ****ing works! Now, you'll curse it when it burns the armpits off you but it's a small price to pay! You don't need much either after the first little while - I'd only put it on once every 2 - 4 weeks now. Nothing in the supermarket will compare.

Read that driclor isn't the best for you.

It works great but it stops you sweating when you think about it. Read something about when you're body is trying to sweat it's for a reason and if you're stopping it it's not healthy.

Wouldn't use it much to be honest. Only special occasions.

I hate all these fragrances - shampoo, body wash, hand wash, hair gel, after shave, moisturiser, deodorant, washing powder, etc, etc .... mornings going to work can be unbearable with all these scents, it's nauseating.

I'm a big fan of the Clinique for men range, it has the grey dull looking packaging. Quality product and they are fragrance free. The anti-perspirant works great, using it for years. Keeps the sweat away and more importantly it has no fragrance.
