Right guard and sure do nothing for me at all yet the white lynx seems to work perfectly for me. No other lynx though, just the white.

Are you sweating a lot or just smelling?

Used to use driclor and that helped me stop sweating massively!

Forget deodorant, what you need is antiperspirant.

I've used this before and found it quite good. I just use Sure invisible now to reduce marks on clothes.

First off decent shower gel and shower routine to make sure you’re properly clean including keeping the hair under your arms short so any product gets on your skin rather than just stuck in your hair.

Use roll one rather than sprays and You also need to make sure it’s dry before you get dressed. With such a routine you don’t need anti perspirants that just block you up. All that will do is move the perspiration elsewhere. Don’t overdo the product either you don’t need to be caked in it.

The likes of Michum is good but if you want really decent stuff import some Native from the USA.

Make sure your washing machine isn’t causing the stink!

Chuck in some Milton fluid or bleach, run the hottest cycle it has and see if things improve.
And use non-biological powder in your machine - this was a tip from my colleague who washes the sweatiest, smelliest clothes on a daily basis (Actor’s costumes)
Also, don’t stick to 30degree wash temperature all the time.

As for deodorant, I use sanex roll on.

PitROK crystal stick.

It won't necessarily stop you sweating but it will stop you smelling.

Also means an end to any white crap being left on clothing.

It's like voodoo and I have no idea how they stay in business given each one seems to last more than a year.

I agree with a lot of that but I am not sure the effect of moving perspiration elsewhere is noticeable or even exists. We are talking about a relatively small area under the arms that generally isn't well ventilated anyway.

I got fed up of having sweaty arm pits and fed up of white marks from normal antiperspirant so used Certain Dri for a while but it stopped being effective, started using Dove Clinical and that seems to properly effective.

Perspirex, Driclor etc are options but I am reluctant to spend that kind of money.

Wouldn't go back now.

Use Dettol Laundry Cleanser in with your wash
