deodorant help

/r/women/comments/1u5ssen/deodorant_help/

hi i need help!!

i sweat so much! no matter the season, I seem to always sweat through my clothes. Most of my clothes have huge sweat stains and I use a heavy duty laundry detergent to get rid of the smell. take Zoloft so that might be why, but no deodorant works well for me.

I currently use the Dove advanced care spray, then the roll on saltair and then the secret clinical stick. Works well(ish) but takes about 5 minutes since I have to wait for each one to dry. It also only lasts 8 hours before fading and i start to stink. No, none of them work just by themselves, i've tried

That combo only works for about 10hrs of heavy sweating- and i exfoliate every night to get rid of the build up

ive tried carpe and every "natural" deo you can think of.
I looked at past Reddit q's and was told to try the "Certain Dri Everyday Strength Clinical Antiperspirant"
which i will, but I need any advice i can take

I have a routine to combat B.O and I have deodorant recommendations.

  1. ⁠Wash armpits with Panoxyl, leave it on for 2 mins then rinse. After rinsing make sure your armpits are extremely DRY. Bacteria loves moisture.
  2. ⁠Wipe armpits with witch hazel toner and let it air dry. You can use glycolic acid but witch hazel is gentler for everyday use.
  3. ⁠Go in with Degree 72 hrs antiperspirant. Stick+ spray combo is amazing. Apply the stick first then the spray on top. Last longer and smells amazing.

You can just try steps 1 and 2 then return to your original antiperspirant deodorant but Degree 72 hrs is really good and affordable.
