oh~ I sweat… a lot. I use Secret Platinum (unscented) invisible antiperspirant. I haven’t tried to the clinical strength yet (luckily, I haven’t had to try it). I’ve tried a number of deodorants and antiperspirants. When I just need a deodorant, I love the unscented one by Kiss My Face. Otherwise, I am all over the Secret Platinum.

for excessive perspiration, certain dri is supposed to be the gold standard. i’ve also heard good things about the secret clinical strength… but i don’t use deodorant/antiperspirant so what do i know.

Secret Clinical is my holy grail. I sweat really badly when stressed or nervous, plus I live in south texas, and this is the only stuff that works for me. This works way better than Certain Dri ever did and it doesn’t burn the way it did either.

i use the secret clinical, and i really don’t like it, honestly. i don’t find that it has helped me stay dry, and this part will seem really weird, but i find that it has a chemical smell that develops when i get my underarms wet, say in a shower or the pool! anyone else have this problem, or am i just abnormal?!

i’ve used certain dri before, but it’s definitely heavy duty, and it has ingredients that can irritate people with sensitive skin (i found that it made my underarms itch upon application). i may go back to this product, since secret hasn’t been helping.

my fiance insists that the human body is supposed to sweat (”it’s natural!”), but i don’t want to be a ball of sweat this saturday(!!), with 95 degree highs and 70% humidity…

Strangely enough, Lady Speed Stick has been my standby for years. It’s the only kind of deodorant/antiperspirant to which I haven’t gotten “immune.” It has so many fun scents, too! I used it on my wedding day in Aruba with no complaints

Awhile ago I read the labels of every deodorant in the store, and learned that Mitchum (for men) was one of the few that had maximum amount of the active ingredient. My friends in college who also had perspiration issues used it as well. Mitchum has now come out with a “smart solid” for women that is as strong as the men’s deodorant, and does not leave white marks.

I think that Secret Clinical is just as strong, but is more expensive.

I use Secret Clinical. I don’t think I stink an abnormal amount - gosh I hope not! - but I didn’t like it when I used it in the evenings, according to the directions. I felt like I still needed a “backup” in the morning, and I’m too lazy to put it on twice, and I feared getting deoderant all over my sheets and blankets while I slept.

I’ve since started wearing it in the morning in lieu of normal deoderant, and I like it a lot. I don’t feel stinky at.all, even after sitting out in 95 degree temps for hours and hours, walking around downtown.

Thumbs up from me!
(I don’t like the normal Secret, and was using the Degree little-black-dress approved formula prior to Clinical Strength.)

I use Lady Mitchum and it’s the best I’ve found. I sweat like a 300 lb Italian man (as opposed to the 140 lb 1/4 Italian woman I am) and it’s the only thing that works for me. I get the clear gel stuff, and usually don’t have a problem w/ residue. Though, I may do some more testing before my own big day…

I’m weird. I use Old Spice. FH does too, but don’t worry we each have our own! I figure if it works for my big man, who works long days outdoors in Texas summers, then it works for little me working part time indoors

Maybe should look into switching. Can’t stand the girly ones that smell like a combo of flowers and baby powder - gives me a headache!

How many people do you think did a bit of an underarm check while reading this article at work?
