since anti-perspirant seems to stick really well to my shirts, thus ruining them over time, I've decided to try a stright up deoderant, and not care if I sweat tons. If it doesn't work out, Ill just buy more undershirts and wear them daily.
Sweating is natural, you can't do too much about it...

Botox injections can give temporary relief.  Seriously.  Look it up.

IIRC you are supposed to change antiperspirants every so often (something about your body becomes used to one specific chemical makeup).

Give Degree a try.

I have a friend (yes, really, a friend of mine) who has serious problems with sweating.  He gets prescription antiperspirant that has a lot more aluminum chlorhydrate (or WTF it is) than any over-the-counter stuff.

See your doc if it's really a problem.

I've ruined tons of my dress/work shirts from yellow pit syndrome.

the gel type stuff works well enough for me

I can absolutely qualify that statement from experience.  I switch probably once or twice a year.  They just stop working well, after too long.  Doesn't make much sense, I know.  Just is.  

Try using "Old Spice High Endurance" that brand works well for me so far....  Also that Arm & Hammer brand, with the baking soda in it, I think it was.... Don't have any here right now, but I'm pretty sure that was the other one I used last.  Right Guard (the heavy duty kind) seemed ok too....

I can't stand sweating a lot... Drives me nuts.  Go figger I move to AZ

Its not just the yellow, my dark shirts get some white/ yellow deposit that wont come off and stiffens the fabric. Ive tried a bunch of things to clean it, including denatured alcohol and nothign seems to work. I did some "research" on google and some places claimed it was the anti perspirant stuff so I figure i'd try deodorant without the stuff in it.

There is a perscription antipersperiant call Drysol. I used it, it worked great. You put in on at night, it itches like hell, but with in a few days I did not sweat at all. I used to pit out my shirts in 10 minutes! And the best part was after a few months of using the stuff I quit and the sweating did not return. Its been at least 8 years and the sweating hasn't been back.
