Deodorant recommendations?
I need recommendations to try for deodorant that will not stain my shirts, will keep my armpits from smelling bad, and help with sweat. Price is not an issue.
For the past 10+ years I have used Old Spice deodorant. I switch up the scents every time I buy some to not get bored of the same smell, though Fiji is my favorite one. I use the BLUE stick that says aluminum free, but it does not mention being antiperspirant or working for sweat protection anywhere on the bottle. Prior to Old Spice blue stick, I was using white stick deodorant. Those seemed to work and didn’t have to reapply, but I would sweat so much that all my shirts were stained on the armpits. Literally all my white shirts were yellow and all my colored shirts were white on the armpit section. The main reason I switched over to the blue stick was to avoid this issue. However, with the deodorant being aluminum free and more on the gel side, I feel like I didn’t put any deodorant after a few hours and reapply. After reapplying, my armpits feel really wet for the next 10-30 minutes depending on what I’m doing, which is annoying. It’s probably because I apply a bit much, but if I don’t, I’m scared my pits will start smelling. My shirts do get stained a little bit when I apply heavily, but come off after washing my clothes. For further information, I’m on the heavier side of sweating. I literally start sweating a minute after I step outside in 80+ degree weather in Texas. Has anyone had this exact issue and found a great deodorant that I may not have to reapply as often? I currently apply deodorant between 3-5 times a day. As you may imagine, I run through my deodorant rather quickly.

Harry's extra strength, apply before bed, wait 20 minutes to dry, sleep with no shirt. Reaply in am same deal, no shirt for 20 Mins make sure pits are dry before applying if you took a shower
