What deodorant/Anti perspirant do you use for work.

Generally anything but lynx and one with very little odour if possible. Nivia, dove, the likes of that.

I don't get it, does drinking water stop you from sweating?

I don't use any anti-perspirant ever. The thoughts of not being able to sweat naturally freaks me out.

I use Sanex in the shower and some scented moisturiser after and that's me. Sometimes I wear perfume but, only the one brand which is expensive so it depends on the finances whether I use it or not.

I make my own.. warm distilled water, Epsom salts, baking soda and a few drops of essential oils.. scent of choice.. costs pennies to make cos I've all the ingredients at home and it's better than any deodorant I've ever bought, doesn't have any nasties like aluminium. You can buy it in health shops for about E7..

I used to get these mixed up, which didn't make me very popular. Apparently, it's not the done thing to use perspirants or the wrong type of anti-deodorants.

(I know I could have said 'odorants' instead of 'anti-deodorants'.)

Right Guard Men's.
Red canister has by far the best scent.

MarcoAntonio23 · 19-05-2016 12:43PM

Eau d'homme

Lovely Bloke · 19-05-2016 12:43PM

Mitchum roll on.

And some decent aftershave.

jester77 · 19-05-2016 12:44PM

I use Clinique for men, excellent products. And the best thing is they are fragrance free, so there is no smelly crap added that most other products have.

To the people who say they don't wear deodorant / antiperspirant because they don't smell, believe me, you smell.

Do the rest of your office / work environment a favor and put some on!

Good Aul fashioned sweat for me. I work on a farm so I like to blend in with the animals. It works for me.

Whatever is on offer in Tescos when I run out. Sanex roll-on is good I find.

Boom_Bap · 19-05-2016 12:55PM

I'm a Sanex or Nivea fan. Always roll on.
As for what I shower with, it's Sanex or Nivea as well, the sensitive or 0% stuff.

Otherwise whatever I pull off the shelf in Aldi. Its got the same cancer causing aluminium crap in it as all the others.

Shenshen · 19-05-2016 02:05PM

Lidl's own brand roll-on.
I prefer a very subtle smell, and I really hate spray deodorants.

I use two together always, Nivea 48h anti-perspirant and hollister So cal or newport beach deodorant (both spray never got people using roll on and you cant spray it on your clothes then either).

I've never understood this 48h protection business. Now I was a bit dense when it came to chemistry, but even my limited knowledge tells me that the chemicals in it are breaking down from the instant it's applied, so that by the 47th hour it's nowhere near as effective as it was in the first hour.

That's also ignoring the fact that surely if you're taking a shower in the morning or night, you're not even availing of 24 hour protection. It's a marketing gimmick as far as I can tell?

A lot of people don't have a shower everyday though but that said you would be applying the anti-antiperspirant more than once in 48h even if you don't shower everyday (i.e. in the morning before work and then the next morning before work also even if you haven't had a shower).

Agreed. I've heard loads of people over the years say that they don't use deodorant or anti-antiperspirant and they don't smell. All they done was confirm my suspicions. That they didn't use any product. Not that the didn't smell. Cause they definitely smelled by the end of the day.

I'd only sweat during physical activity. But i still use a small bit of mitchum roll on every. And moisturize with one that has a minty scent. Can still get the mint smell off me by the end of the day. Don't both with deodorant and one spray of cologne only ever goes on my clothes...sometimes.

Broken Hearted Road · 20-05-2016 10:38AM

I use Sure deodorant - there's a dark link spray/roll on and a dark blue called cool blue I think. Any one of them two. I find they are the best.

I do have problems with sweating and wettness under my arms especially on hot days or days that I'm very busy and on the go from morning til night racing around here, there and every where. I tried to change my deodorant going back some time. I went to a health food shop thinking I'd get something there and something claiming to be natural might help the problem. Oh I was very wrong. It was useless.

I remember Roche's Stores that a lovely deodorant with as far as I can remember a tropical scent. It was named OE pronounced as O.A.

Another deodorant I liked in my younger years was deodorant called - Mum in a pink roll on bottle. I didn't see it in years here in Ireland. I was on holidays in Australia last year and some chemists had them Mum deodorant so I bought a load of them.

Small tip but trimming your armpit hair can help as you will retain less sweat

Fuzzytrooper · 20-05-2016 03:46PM

Sounds like work

fussyonion · 20-05-2016 05:10PM

Mitchum roll-on.
It's the only one that will keep me dry no matter how hot it gets or however much I exercise. Plus it smells nice.

For people moaning that roll-ons leave their pits wet, why don't you apply the deodorant and let it dry before dressing, as it states on the bottle?
Hardly the biggest issue in the world.

People who use spray deodorant have a tendency to spray far too much, plus it leaves chalky marks.

What deodorant/Anti perspirant do you use for work.
