Quoted: Shave your armpits. I know, I know, it's not masculine. For your deod to work, it has to reach the skin of your armpit. If you don't want to shave every so often, just give yourself a crew cut. Not only will your deod work better, but you will have less body order. No matter how much you wash, armpit hair holds the bacteria that cause order when they react to sweat. Lose some of the hair and you will have better results.
Many older men do this. We are past the stage of caring what other people think of our arm pits and are only interested in low maintenance cleanliness.
And no, I am not gay.

LOL--preach it, Brother. hr |
I was a powerlifter in high school, and spent alot of time in the gyms. Back then at least, it was common to shave your pits, or use a beard trimmer, hair clippers etc... Those of us prone to sweating, don't like to be dripping during a workout.. this was a pretty good solution, at least it helped.
If i'm not going out anyplace, I'll skip deodorant after a shower. Theres no "scent" on me unless I work up a sweat, or till about shower time the next day. Some guys stink and some dont... I'd say I fall into the middle. I've never knowingly offended anyone, but if I can smell it, then its a personal problem for me... I dont want to be embarrassed. I also like garlic and that certainly does not help.
Anti-perspirant is what I mainly use. Many don't work for me. The best brands I've found are Mitchum and Adidas. Either lasts about 24hrs. I tend to switch between the two brands.
Deodorant only, seems to make me sweat worse and, at least to my nose, makes smell more of an issue, like accentuates it. Therefore using nothing is usually better than using deodorant only.
If you have scent issues... theres a product called "Body mint". You might consider reading their site and maybe giving it a try. http://www.bodymint.com Supposed to rid you of stink.
My concern with anti-perspirant is blocking your pores, which isn't good. You can even get infected. I have not had any problems, although certain brands like Speed stick will give me a rash and burn like hell. But anyways... this is why I skip putting the stuff on if I'm just sitting around the house... gives my pits a chance to breathe/sweat as normal once in awhile.
