Hey all,
I’m on the hunt for a new men’s antiperspirant and could really use some recommendations.
I’ve been using Dove (the kind you can grab at most supermarkets for under $5 a can) for a while now. Before that, I was using Rexona, which was around the same price range. Both have been pretty good for a few months, but here’s the issue: my body seems to get used to them over time. After a while, they don’t seem to work as well. It’s not like I’m doing any heavy physical activity—I barely break a sweat. Oddly, If i’m in a draft or it’s cold out I tend to sweat more…. at first I was like maybe i'm not applying these right… i.e leaving it damp when spraying… but ive tried a hairdryer under there to even rule that out!
Any suggestions for something that’s both effective and reasonably priced? I’m open to trying new brands, especially ones that last longer or have some special formula; not sure if its worth going for a roll-on?
Maybe its not just me?
Edit: Appreciate the responses, the main take away im seeing is go for a roll on, so imma give that a go as the first step
Yeah, definitely roll-on would be better than spray.
Also FWIW, what are you wearing? A lot of "fast fashion" clothing are made of cheap synthetic fibres that are not breathable and, as a result, the anaerobic bacteria under your arm can operate and metabolise your sweat. If you wear higher quality, more breathable clothing (e.g. wool is usually a good option), then the underarm moisture will naturally wick away and there will be more air circulation which will naturally prevent the body odour, as the bacteria cannot grow or metabolise.
Good example of this is people who go to the gym before work in the morning, then put on a polyester business shirt which will trap the moisture and humidity in. Instead, try a linen or wool-blend shirt and you'll find much less body odour naturally. Generally polyester shirts will trap the moisture and humidity in, and cotton will absorb sweat keeping the underarms humid.
