Deoderant / Body Odour

Help!! What antiperspirant deoderant do you women wear, that you find actually works?? I live in QLD and I'm already rocking the "wet BO patches under my armpits on my shirts" look and I hate it. It's not even summer yet!!
I wash every morning, with soap. Wear Rexona antiperspirant deoderant. Wear cotton tops. But, before I leave the house in the morning I already have wet patches on my shirt 😣

I'm in qld too I feel your pain. I use nivea roll on anti perspirant the invisible one. I love it no b.o or sweat patches for me. I definately prefer a roll on compared to a spray. My aunty who was a heavy sweater would use some baby powder under her arms. Never tried it but she swore by it.

I use Mitchum 48hr protection. It's top shelf so pricey but worth it.
I spend a lot of time in the gym and nothing worse than a PT getting to close to correct your form and stinking!

Yes Mitchum is the best!!! It's the only deodorant that works for me. And- it does actually last 48hrs!!! I have inadvertently tested that one! 😅

Visit nourishedlife.com.au and checkout their natural deodorants. I haven't tried them but a friend swears by them.

Mitchum!!! Even the regular roll on used to have a slogan "so good you can skip a day".

I use Mitchum too, there's also one I like called Norsca (I actually prefer that one as it doesn't leave you with that sticky residue while it dries). Also, you need to switch deodorants every six months because our bodies can become sort of immune to it and it becomes less effective, so I have a spring/summer deodorant and a autumn/winter deodorant, I can use any for winter but in summer I need a stronger one.

If you feel like your sweating at an abnormally excessive rate, see your gp too. My friend had this issue and she was given a prescription deodorant of some sort, they even reccomended botox in her armpits if that failed.

I agree with majority of the other ladies with Mitchum roll on, I've found it's cheaper than rexona. I'm also in qld.
I shower at night and put it on then, and only if I've had a sweaty night or got my period will I shower in the morning again. It lasts.
I had a fungal infection the other week and was advised not to use deodorant in that time incase it was a reaction to the deodorant, and used cornflour for a few days, it was ok but I felt like I smelt and was showering/washing and powdering about 3 times a day then.
When it's summer I use baby powder to help with boob sweat and thigh chaffing

I switched to natural deodorant close to two years ago, at first I thought they didn't work then I learnt you should detox your pit first. Now I swear by them, I work in a hot sweaty environment and never feel I stink any more. My step daughter was really smell too got her to change over too and now she never smells not even after sport.

I used for detox and still do occasionally https://www.nourishedlife.com.au/natural-deodorant/411166/earths-puritie...

Clinical rexona is the best! As a massage therapist I used to get so sweaty and need to wash my uniform every night. It was this weird material that literally retained every little bit of smell.i could seriously get away without washing it all week if I wanted to, I don't smell at all.

It's about $14 normal price but always goes on sale at Coles or Woolies for about $10. I've tried a few other brands of the clinical and found rexona to be the best.

To name a few and as someone else said look at Nourished life site.

Are all brilliant and work better, I started on holiday as you need to "detox" from chemicals, maybe use detox a pit first

I've lived in Darwin for 11 years and have tried EVERYTHING. But at the same time I hate that only toxic chemicals will work. So here's my trial and error solution:
Spray armpits after showering with Modere Mouthwash.....yep I know - but it works. Let dry or rub in. Then apply Modere Deoderant. No sweat. No smell.

Pop the mouthwash into a little travel spray bottle from most dollar shops for ease of application xxxx. Good luck hun xxxxx
