The Bachellor speaks the truth. Just get some Certain Dri. The stuff works wonders. I used to sweat a lot, and now my armpits barely sweat at all, even whenI'm working out.

Use antiperspirant x deoderant combos.
Some dudes still using the stand-alone deodorant or stand-alone antiperspirant. Always stick, never gel.

False. There are no drawbacks to applying anti-perspirant. At least, no credible study carried out by the people who produce these products has found there to be any.
Goodlook I'll have to try this out.Originally Posted by TheBachellor

I wrote a long and informative post in the other deodorant thread. You should search for that thread and read what I had to say.
I copied and pasted what I had to say there, below (I also added additional information in bold about discoloring t-shirts):
First off, deodorant does not stop wetness, it gets rid of odor by destroying the odor causing bacteria and/or masking the odor with fragrance. What you want is an anti-perspirant, which stops wetness via swelling the pores in the underarms to prevent sweat from leaking out. Most "deodorants" are actually anti-perspirants & deodorants, however you need to look at the package to make sure it is indeed this combo and not simply "deodorant". Since odor is caused by bacteria, which flourish in wet environments, if you can find a product that completely stops the wetness you'll find that your underarms smell very little, if at all.
The mistake that most people make is applying anti-perspirant right before you engage in activity or step outside. The product needs time to be absorbed in to the skin and swell the pores up. What i've found is 1.5-2 hours between the application and going out is ideal. The reason that your t-shirts stain when you sweat is because the aluminum in the anti-perspirant mixes with your perspiration and turns in to a compound that discolors fabric. The are 2 ways around this:
I HAD a wetness problem, and tried everything under the sun...until Certain-Dri entered my life
- Allow enough time for the anti-perspirant to settle in! (You don't apply lotion to your skin, wash it off right after, and expect your skin to still be moisturized do you?) Like stated previously, 1.5-2 hours (for regular anti-perspirant) before you go out (and are not sweating) allows time for the product to settle in. OR
- Don't wear anti-perspirant (obviously not the best choice if you're looking at this)
It's pretty much the strongest thing on the market you can get without a prescription, and believe me... it works. Just make sure to get the ROLL ON variety (pictured above) and not the solid (pictured below):
Follow the directions exactly (i.e....apply it before you go to bed or at least 5 hours before you have to wake up... yes you CAN take a shower after it has settled in). For added protection I set my alarm 2 hours before I have to wake up and have my Right Guard right beside me and apply a few strokes as well. This combo literally had my arms arid dry while the rest of my body was drenched when I was working my moving job these past few 90 degree days in NYC.
Thank me later.
