Reccomend me an anti perspirant

[DaveH23]

First off my body is weird - just to throw that out there.

I used to use Sure sport years ago but I believe you cant buy it anymore - not that one that works anyway.

I have tried all sorts of AP's and within about 10 mins of putting them on my pits are like swimming baths, they dont smell but are very wet.

If I don't wear them I stay completely dry but do smell after a while. Basically they stop me from smelling but make my pits soaking wet.

I have tried perspiguard and this used to work when I was younger but not anymore. Ive just turned 27 if this is of any use aswell.

Anybody have a similar issue and what have you found that works?

Thanks.

Gillette Artic Ice or Cool Wave. Brilliant stuff

[barryrs]

The Dove men Anti-Perspirant spray's are very good IMO

[tedmus]

Anhydrol Forte

[marksx]

Used this for years now:

Ive tried both gilette and dove and both dont work for me.

As for Anhydrol Forte & Mitchum Endurance I will give them ago.

Cheers Guys.

Sounds to me like you don't need an antiperspirant (why try and stop sweating somewhere that's not overly sweaty). But a deodorant might be the thing. How long is "after a while"? Are we talking at the end of the work day (pretty normal), or an hour or so?

Odaban. Absolutely brilliant - lasts a week or so at a time. Spray it before going to bed and job jobbed.

Maybe you have hyperhidrosis(sp?) which I use to get and still do if I wear certain t-shirts that seem to make my pit sweat a lot (no smell).

If you do, pick up Driclor from Boots or somewhere like that. It's a few quid, put it on before you go to bed, wash off in the morning and you will not sweat under your pits.

I use it for 2-3 days at a time then stop using it for a while until it comes back then I repeat.

Magic stuff.

Perspirex is also a good one after a couple of applications you don't sweat one bit and only have to apply maybe once or twice a week there after to maintain completely dry pits.

Expensive at £6 a pop when you see the size of the bottle.

I use an alum block once or twice a week. I don't think it stops you sweating as such, but it's a bactericide so stops the foul odours, which is usually the issue rather than sweating per se.

I don't use any anti-perspirant at all, just shower twice a day.

I used to suffer from sweaty pits all the time during the day. Proprely annoying.

I went to Boots and got some Driclor having read a little about it online.
Put it on before bed and shower off in the morning. It did sting slightly when applying, and smelt a bit funny.

Used it for a couple of weeks.

That was 3 years ago. Not a sweat patch since. Except in extreme circumstances obviously. Like humping.

Same here!

I could try every single brand of '48 hour protection' stuff there is, but within an hour of getting out the shower and applying, I would be soaking wet! Even on a cold day my pits would be wet. Never smelly, just like they were leaking water!

I tried Driclor and Perspirex but found them a bit stingy if applied slightly wrongly or on damp pits, so I tried the Triple Dry stuff and find it just as effective but much less harsh on the skin.

I don't fear the dark coloured work shirts any more...

I've never thought much about Sure and Rightguard but have been happy using Nivea for the last few years.

Another tip, trim your pits A no3 helps you smell fresher even without anti-perspirant.

This.

If only the people posting advice on extreme antiperspirants had read the thread.
As Munter says, sounds like you don't need and antiperspirant but a deoderant. Lynx is a good example - may not be to your taste OP, but Lynx is not an antiperspirant but is a deo. (Unless you buy Lynx Antiperspirant obviously)

There's lots of scents in the range so there may be one you like. One Ltd Ed a while ago was developed with the Chanel "noses" IIRC

Make your own!

Lemon, baking powder, salt.

Mix this into a paste and then slap it on.
