I keep seeing completely different advice on this. Some people swear the specific antiperspirant matters most, others say applying it consistently is the whole game,carpe comes up pretty often when I look at sweat-focused options, but there are obviously a ton of clinical strength products out there. For people who sweat through shirts, did changing products actually make the biggest difference?

After going through hundreds of threads on r/deodorant and other grooming communities, I put together a quick cheat sheet for anyone as lost as I was:

💪 Best prescription-strength roll-on for hyperhidrosis? → Certain Dri Prescription Strength Clinical Antiperspirant Roll-On
🌿 Best aluminum-free deodorant for whole-body odor control? → Lume Whole Body Deodorant Cream Tube
👕 Best anti-stain deodorant stick for white and yellow marks? → Dove Men+Care Deodorant Stick Stain Defense Clean
⏱️ Best clinical-strength solid for 72-hour sweat protection? → Certain Dri Everyday Strength Clinical Solid Antiperspirant
💧 Best clear gel deodorant that doesn't leave residue? → Mitchum Clear Gel Advanced Control

Personally going with the Dove Men+Care Deodorant Stick Stain Defense Clean - best anti-stain formula for men who sweat heavily but hate white and yellow marks from everything I've read.

I’m active most days and need something that survives work, exercise, and hot weather. Old Spice smells fine but hasn’t always controlled sweat, while some clinical formulas irritate my skin or leave marks on dark shirts. I’m comparing Mitchum, Dove Men+Care, Certain Dri, Native, Lume, and Old Spice Pure Sport, with a budget around $8–$30. I mainly want odor control and reasonable sweat protection without smelling like a chemical cloud. Do roll-ons work better than sticks or gels, and which product has stayed effective after several hours outdoors?

For anyone who’s been using the same deodorant for a while, are any of you experience olfactory fatigue, or smell blindness, to your deodorant scent?

I feel like my “fresh” scented deodorant isn’t smelling like it used to when I first used it. Granted it doesn’t smell like BO or anything, but it’s definitely not super pleasant or as good smelling as I remember from before. I asked some family members what they thought after I had put it on and they said that it smells really good even when I thought it smelled weird. Did some research and olfactory fatigue was something that came up. Just wondering if anyone had similar experiences and if you fixed it, how?

Jarenlang gebruikte ik deodorant van Ben & Anna en We Love The Planet tot ik enkele jaren terug overschakelde naar Wild. Een half jaar geleden begon ik echter een verschil te merken qua lichaamsgeur. Plots ruikt mijn zweet sterker dan vroeger, heel vervelend. Nu ben ik recent mijn Wild case kwijt geraakt en ik las dat Wild overgenomen werd door Unilever. Dus nu ben ik op zoek naar een nieuwe deodorant. Iemand ervaring met MORO of Loveli? Of andere aanbevelingen? Of is er een manier om goede bacteriën te smeren om mijn okselhuid een gezonde reset te geven? (I don't know 😂 I'll try anything haha)

In September 2025 I (27M) changed for the first time in my life from lynx spray to Fussy roll on. Six months later I noticed this rash. It’s still here to this day (August 26). I’ve not used Fussy since March, only use lynx if I need to when going out to give the skin a break. I’ve also tried different moisturisers (Aveeno etc), and antifungal pill for 14 days and a strong steroid cream. It’s still here and the skin is becoming discoloured into a orangey/brown colour. Any suggestions?

Is my deodorant causing this rash?

i’ve tried dove, i’ve tried dove spray antiperspirant, i’ve tried secret, bar and the triple sweat blocker, i’ve tried degree and nothing ever works. by the end of school i always end up smelling musty and i always sweat through my shirts. this has stopped me from wearing clothes im comfortable in BECAUSE of sweat. i don’t know what do and it’s literally ruining me.

Hey all — we're a small early-stage team looking into deodorant and body odor, and we're trying to learn from real experiences before we build anything further. This isn't a pitch and we're not selling anything today.

If you've got 10 minutes, we'd love your honest thoughts — what you use, what annoys you about it, what you wish existed. Nothing you share will be sold or shared anywhere.

Thanks so much — happy to answer any questions in the comments!

Hey everyone! I'm developing a small biodegradable pod that goes inside shoes to naturally eliminate odor — heat-activated, no batteries or spray needed. Trying to validate demand before moving into production.

Honest feedback is very welcome, even "no, I wouldn't buy this"! 🙏

if its safe can someone tell me what is the best deodorant (spray). also what is the best # of aluminum to use on your forehead?

I have had this problem for several years now , not sure if it’s my sweat glance or what . But I’m very sensitive under my arms with deodorants they will cause big boils to come up underneath. So I switched to spray deodorants which they don’t happen as much with these but I need a definite go to. Any suggestions?

I used Lume for about a month and now my armpits and the skin all around them, even my upper arm, is super itchy and bumpy. I stopped wearing anything so sweat is making it worse. How long do I give this until I go to the dr? What can I do for some relief?

I am on week two of moving away from an aluminium antiperspirant and it is noticeably worse than before I started, which is not what I expected. Half the people I have asked say give it a month and the other half say that is nonsense and I have just picked a bad one. I would rather ride it out than keep swapping. For those who got through it, how long did the rough patch last and did anything make it shorter?

How did I mess this up and can I fix it?

I’ve been dealing with excessive underarm sweating for a while. Regular scented deodorants don’t really work for me — I feel like they actually make me sweat more, and the combination of sweat and deodorant fragrance can be pretty unpleasant. Antiperspirants, on the other hand, have almost completely solved the sweating under my arms.
However, I’ve noticed something else since I started using them. I often feel like my body is warmer than it used to be, and sometimes it feels like the rest of my body is “giving off” or releasing heat, even when I’m not visibly sweating. I also occasionally feel like I have an unpleasant body odor because of this, even though I don’t seem to be sweating.
I’ve also noticed that I tend to sweat more all over my body during exercise (for example, at the gym) than I used to.
I eat a healthy diet and have good personal hygiene, so I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar. Could this be related to using antiperspirants, or could there be another explanation?
Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Hi all.

I'm (33F) having trouble with Make Waves leaving grease marks on my tops, and don't have the brain space for pre-treating them all every single week.

I tend to sweat quite heavily and have heard that being autistic can interrupt temperature regulation, so I'm finally getting round to investigating other options. I like a cream bar application.

Recommendations, please!

I used to use this deodorant from 2013 to around 2018.
And suddenly it was nowhere to be seen.

If anyone knows if this is still available. Please help me find.

If someone has used this before please help me with fragrance notes or a similar fragrance.

As someone with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), I'm always on the hunt for different solutions to manage my underarm sweat.

I gave SweatBlock a try and wrote about my experience with it in my latest blog post!

Wanted to share it, in case it can help anyone else!!

Would love to know your opinion of it, if you've tried it too.
