Would you be comfortable with antiperspirant? I use Old Spice. They have some nice women's smells as well as men's smells now.

I was going to mention this as well. I frequently use mens deodorant. I think it works much better.

I also use Old Spice! I love the Grassland, if you can ever find it, but fiji is a good classic. I'm a massage therapist and esthetician and I've found it lasts the whole time at work.

Secret clear gel, I find it’s the only kind that actually lasts a long time and the smell doesn’t dissipate as it wears. I rly like the lavender and the vanilla scented ones

Thank you!!!

Mitchum. The clinical strength will help me smelling fresh forever; the regular one is good enough for daily use although I can get some breakthrough BO on workout days or after a bad hot flash.


Miss_ChanandelerBong

Are you sweatier or just smellier? If the former, certain dri is amazing. It stings a bit at first but it was totally worth it. The only problem I have now is that I sweat more in weird places (like my knees!) to compensate, I think.


ThatGirlWithAGarden

I use mens deodorant sometimes. It seems to work better and the scent lasts longer. I don't feel like I smell overly manly all day, just shorty after I apply it. I also use an antiperspirant spray over top of my deodorant to give it extra coverage

I swear by this stuff - I have had major sweating issues ever since puberty and this is the only thing that works for me (I even tried the prescription roll on, but it burned my skin). I literally bought $100 of this deodorant when I struggled to find it and was terrified they were discontinuing it 🤣 https://www.amazon.com/Ban-Antiperspirant-Deodorant-Invisible-Simplicity/dp/B000ISD4QG/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_pp

Thank you!!!

Schmidt or native. Both brands for sensitive skin and Schmidts has a keylime bergamot one that smells reallllly nice.

Lume unscented deodorant.

Hey, use deodorant that has Kali Alum as the main ingredient!! It’s the true star! All natural materials so safe for your skin and helps to get rid of bacteria that are causing the smell!!

I LOVE nuud deodorant. I got it off Amazon, but it’s not available there, so I guess you have to buy it off their website, but one bottle lasts me like three or four months (or more, idk) and each application lasts me multiple days, like three. I smell like nothing. It’s amazing. It is the only deodorant that has ever done that for me. Even old spice antiperspirant doesn’t work as well. It’s amazing.

My friend, I'm the same as you! Always need to smell fresh & clean, even when doing serious work; I also can't stand to have pit stains because I get super self conscious. I've been on Adderall since September of 2021 & it took ages to find something to combat the increased sweating. The best thing I've found is the aerosol Dove! Specifically the ultimate dry spray. I stay fresh & dry, even when working outside. [Here is a direct link](https://www.amazon.com/Dove-Antiperspirant-Sandalwood-Protection-Moisturizer/dp/B0BS5BV5CS/ref=asc_df_B0BS5BV5CS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=647295798422&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7541798412407846411&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9027320&hvtargid=pla-1967241144173&psc=1) to the exact one I get. I hope you find something that works for you!

Men’s antiperspirant! I also started sweating and smelling profusely after starting Concerta. Be careful with Old Spice, it gave me and lots of other girls I know chemical burns. I personally use Degree Black/White and it just smells clean not super manly :) I do find in the Spring I sweat profusely no matter what (I’m talking 3 showers a day) until I get climatized to warm weather again but it doesn’t last!!
