What kind of deodorant do you use?

Anything that doesn't say antiperspirant. Stuff makes me itch and break out. So pretty much anything that just says deodorant.
I don't use (only) deodorant; I use anti-perspirant. Deodorant leaves me at the end of the day with sweaty pits mixed with a spray from ten hours earlier. Anti-perspirant greatly minimizes (or even eliminates) the amount of sweat and completely eliminates any unwanted odor.
Back in the day, you could get clear solid sticks (not gels, mind you - sticks) that were both anti-perspirant and deodorant. You could get these from Right Guard, Speed Stick, and some others. Unfortunately, a few years ago that all changed; now you have to go with either a "disappearing" solid (which is fancy lingo for "not disappearing), a gel, or (only) deodorant. So I switched to sprays.
Degree smells good, but leaves "stuff" on my skin. By "stuff" I mean unwanted stuff - little hard, white chunks like grains of salt. Arrid is wonderful, but a little bit girly smelling. I use Old Spice now, but it's hard to find. I usually end up having to get it from Kroger.

Deodorant
I prefer using natural deodorants those deodorant's which are 100% pure and toxic free. which are aluminum free. I also mostly use deodorant soap which is used as a cleanser formulated which help to reduce body odor, while all soaps clean the skin but a deodorant soap is formulated to both kill and retard the growth of bacteria by controlling bacteria the deodorant soap acts to reduce the cause of unpleasant smells.

Usually I use degree. I always buy the 2 pack. I go through it quickly though 
I have self diagnosed hyperhidrosis under my arm pits. It could be 50 degrees in the room and I have sweat dripping from my arms. I use certain dri antiperspirant. Its strictly an antiperspirant. Burns like hell after the second day of use, but 2 or 3 days of use is sufficient enough, and keeps me dry for at least 2 weeks.
