What kind of deodorant do you use?

Old Spice - fresh and original are usually my favorites, but I experiment with most of their other scents. As for which type, I usually go with the high endurance, but sometimes I just go with whichever is closest to my hand at the store.
 
I switch it up depending on what I have coupons for.

I love Axe scents, but there is a chemical in them that reacts with my sweat causing yellow stains to white shirts.

I've recently been a fan of Dove Men+ Care product range.

My current:

Ted Baker or F C U K for normal daily use, depending on which is in the 3 for 2 in Boots when I go shopping.

Issey Miyake and Calvin Klein for going out.

What a funny topic. Nivea for me. It's gentle for my delicate little flower pits and I find the aluminium chlorohydrate less likely to stain shirts than the more commonly used aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrex. If you've got weird stains, that's your culprit. All aluminium compounds can do this but aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrex is the worst offender, even if you're not very sweaty.

The more you know.
 
I used to use Mitchum, I've heard great things about Dove.

A little over a year ago I stopped using any deodorant, or even soap and shampoo/conditioner when showering. For a few weeks my skin and hair were oily but them it just magically cleared itself up and I haven't put any unnecessary chemicals on my body since.

I have a pretty close group of friends who I didn't tell about my experiment until a couple months into it and they were shocked when I told them. These are they type of people who would tell me if I stink, even when questioned, they couldn't tell. I still get dates, even second dates, so I guess the human body might be able to cope without slathering it with chemicals.

To be clear, I still shower daily, I wash thoroughly with a washcloth, even my hair, I just don't use any soaps.

I seem to remember there being a thread on MR about this very thing - people being against using deodorant, and actually making it work without the smell. I'm too much of a wuss to give such an experiment a try, but it's certainly interesting.

It seems logical that our bodies would just know what to do, but what do I know? :confused:
 
Adidas Victory League, cause it compliments my perfume, Boss Bottled rather well. Apparently Victory League is an homage to the Boss, so they work well together.

It's easy to smell like me! All you need is a pair of alpacas, some MIL-PRF-5606 hydraulic fluid, and a jar of pickles.

So I've gathered up an alpaca and the pickles, but I'm having trouble getting the hydraulic fluid.

Wait....does it really have to be a pair of alpacas? It was hard enough getting one.
