What deodorant do you use? I want something that doesn't clog up the pores with aluminum and I'm not looking for an antiperspirant, we sweat for a reason. Currently I use baking soda and it works pretty well but sometimes it'll leave white residue on my shirts, but it washes out.

I use Arm & Hammer Essentials deodorant. Closest thing to natural that still works.

That said, the combination of Coconut Oil and Merino wool undershirts has been working great for me for years. I think the fact that I bust my ass in the gym to sweat out and then wash off the stink most mornings might help too My wife was skeptical about the Coconut Oil, and she'd be the first to notice if it didn't work, but it does (for me at least). |

Good old Mennen Speed Stick, or sometimes Old Spice. Make sure you're buying "Deodorant" and not "Anti-Perspirant" to avoid the chemical salts that clog your pores.
|
|
Go to Amazon and enter "Chrystal Deodorant". Has no aluminum and works. One stick will last 6-12 months.

I use old spice
mainly the High Endurance deodorant variety. I was using the pure sport fragrance but just changed over to classic I also have a stick of the regular deodorant in the classic scent. It has alcohol listed as an ingredient and you can feel the evaporation when putting it on I stopped using antiperspirants years ago due to the staining of my tshirts |

Old spice high endurance, the gel stick (it's blue in color if you pop the cap off) no residue, lasts a long time, smells good. I have sensitive skin and its one of the few I can wear and not have a reaction to it. You can get them in two packs fairly cheap too.

Burned like hell. Still trying to recover. I was a long time user of the Old Spice High Endurance solid stick deodorant/antiperspirant and wanted to try the one without the antiperspirant. I'm trying the Dove mens brand now. Seems to be better. |

I ran out the other day so I've been using my wife's Secret. I smell pretty and it reminds me of her everytime I lift up my arms.

I don't do antiperspirant. Like you said we sweat for a reason.
I like Degree deodorant. It smells nice and isn't too overpowering. It's also neutral enough to not clash with aftershave or cologne. I used to like Old Spice but holy shit it's over fragranced now. My rule for cologne is: your cologne shouldn't linger in a room longer than you do. Old Spice violates the hell out of that rule..... As a deodorant. |
|
I sweat so much my deodorant is gone after lunch. I use old spice (the white stuff) butI need to try something without the aluminum to see if that helps.
|
|
Old spice, I switch up the scents once in a while but I have been using it for years. My girlfriend loves the way I smell so I'll stick with it. Not the white crap that leaves flakes everywhere but like another poster said the blue gel. I believe I'm using the after hours scent right now.

I started using Old Spice deodorant (original scent) many years ago when they had an ad campaign bragging about not staining your undershirts. It didn't, it doesn't and it has a great scent that lasts. It's all I've used since forever. I really miss the round stick though. Wish they'd bring that back.

I'm kinda surprised that after all this time, no one has mentioned Tom's of Maine.

Speed Stick "Gear" is the only deodorant that I've found will keep me dry through a 12 hr. Patrol shift and the scent lasts well into the following morning. Legit 24 hr. coverage. Worth every penny.

I ran out the other day so I've been using my wife's Secret. I smell pretty and it reminds me of her everytime I lift up my arms. View Quote It works - remember their slogan was "strong enough for a man. Made for a woman." FWIW, i've used my wife's Secret when i've run out of my deodorant. I sweat a lot. In the past I tried many different deodorants. Either they wouldn't last past lunch time, or the alcohol based scent would burn my armpits. The one I found that actually worked all day is Arm & Hammer Ultra Max. I prefer either unscented or the baby powder scent. The scent isn't strong enough to bother my asthma and unlike other scented deodorants, it doesn't burn my arm. |

91% rubbing alcohol. Dries, disinfects. No odor, no irritation, no staining, cheap.
Or, baking soda (wet fingers, dip in powder, make a little bit of paste) also works if the above doesn't. |

Arrid XX solid. Been using it since high school. It's cheap(er) and it works for me.

Do yourself a favor and try Jungleman Deodorant. It's a little expensive at 6 or 7 bucks a stick, but it's all natural and has no alum in it. It works all day for me. Amazon has it.

Old Spice sport and orig scent
Has worked for many many years - I like it - the chicks like it so why change ? |

Here you go
https://www.amazon.com/CRYSTAL-BODY-DEODORANT-Stick-Unscented/dp/B00028QF9U/ref=sr_1_29_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1487865382&sr=1-29&keywords=alum&tag=vglnk-c102-20&th=1 Wet the exposed end by running it briefly under the running water from the faucet. Rub on underarm area being sure to get complete coverage. Repeat for other underarm. Shake off any remaining water from the crystal and store upside down because remaining water will run down and dissolve the crystal at the base which will loosen it from its holder |

There are too many stinky ass BO Pirates running around to not use antiperspirant!
I use
or
with the majority of the time being the Dove Men's Care. |
|
My sandwich maker also makes deodorant. No aluminum, no alcohol. Its coconut oil, baking soda, essential oils, and something else similar to baking soda. I sweat a lot and it works bad ASS.

I got to using Dove Men + Care. It says 48 hour protection and it means it. It is even tough to get it all out of your pit hair in the shower.

Kiss My Face.
It’s the only one that doesn’t make my life break out in an itchy rash. Plus it works real good. |
