  If you want antiperspirant just because of sweat then maybe swap out some of your cotton shirts for polyester. Much more air flow and doesn't stain with pit sweats. Then just use some blue stick type like old spice. It's not gel and it's not antiperspirant. I just reapply halfway through the day.

  Sorry if this doesn't fit all ur criteria but I use old spice in the white container with the red cap. Right now my wife's been liking the deep sea one. But it's the only one that seems to do the job well and not irritate my skin.

  I use old spice deodorant. It’s the only one that keeps me smelling fresh throughout the day. I’ve tried other deodorants—including some of the bougie brands, but nothing else has lasted the whole day. Eager to read these other comments though. I’m also in the market for an alternative.

  I am absolutely in love with Old Spice. Surprisingly clean product (ingredients) that washes off well, smells nice and lasts all day. Good for environment (stick), even though itsg3l it really doesn't get sticky. It doesn't stop sweating but imo all sweating stopping ingredients are horrible. In the end its difficult to wash off and i started to smell worse (build up layers).

  When I was 13, Proctor & Gamble sent me a trial size of their Old Spice Pure Sport deoderant. It's the only deoderant I've used for the 25 years since then. Pretty good marketing.

  I’m in Houston for the last 8 years (subtropical hot as balls and humid). Before that Miami (tropical). I switched to non-Aluminum deodorant old spice while still in Miami and haven’t looked back. I work indoors and it’s not a problem at all. I may occasionally reapply in the afternoon. If you live in a tropical or subtropical climate (most of the deep south) you are already used to showering sometimes twice per day or more. My $0.02.

  Most burn my armpits, except for the Old Spice gel’s. They work great, smell great. I’ve been using them for many years now with no issues.

  Old Spice aluminum free. Works great. Buy 3 packs on Amazon or eBay for cheap.

  Old spice original scent. it smells good and relatively neutral and gets the job done. I do also appreciate the tagline on the back of the stick, " if your grandfather hadn't worn it, you wouldn't exist"

  I agree! I found I sweat so much worse using the white stuff, so Im all gel now. I just get the old spice packs at costco, theyre usually a good deal

  I have to rotate deodorants every 6 months or so because they stop working. Natural deodorant always makes my pits hurt/itch so I just rotate through Dove and Old Spice.

  Deodorant and self-cleaning products have become a sponsored hell scape. Fellow men, what do you use?

  I am in a similar situation.. I gave up on antiperspirants because they ruined shirts and made my armpits feel sticky and gross. I also can't stand deodorants that smell like axe body spray, which unfortunately is almost all of them now. What I use is an old spice variety called "cedar wood" that I've been getting at costco. There was a similarly mild scent from them in the past with a different name. These are the only two that don't totally stink. I have also dabbled with the Native brand which has stronger scents, but some are tolerable. There's a coconut one I liked, and they did a series of candy scented ones.. the gummy bear one was deal-able for me. I eventually quit using these because it was a white stick that went on very roughly, and the plastic tube of the thing was borderline sharp, but YMMV.

  Old spice deodorant around the house, Degree UltraClear for when I go out. Both I buy from BJs wholesale when they're on sale with a coupon. Comes out much cheaper in the long run

  The $2.50 sticks of Old Spice original formula (the turquoise colored one). Works great, alcohol based. Alcohol kills stink.

  What product would you seriously stockpile if you found out they weren't going to sell it anymore?

  It is remarkably hard to come by even still. At the local stores I might have a choice of one Old Spice scent and Irish Spring then some Dove or Ivory. There might be a few single bars but if I went bulk that's usually about it.

  Stuff you will continue buying for life

  I was an old spice guy before those ads, they had aluminum free before most people and they dont use some chemical that used to give me rashes. Finally got my wife to go aluminum free and she was shocked by the difference.

  Stuff you will continue buying for life

  I’m legitimately an Old Spice deodorant customer for life because their commercial game was so good like 10 years ago that I decided to support the brand. I wanted to support the company that was producing legitimately good content, plus their non-aluminum line of gel deodorants are actually great, smell nice, and are affordable.
