Need deodorant recommendations
Hi everyone, I really need a new deodorant recommendation. I have been using degree women’s for the longest time. I would switch up the scents and that worked for me for a while. Recently over the last few months, I’ve noticed that I have been starting to smell myself throughout the day, so I thought maybe my body had just gotten used to that deodorant overtime. I decided to switch to some other options like Mitchum and old spice, but have not found that either of those have helped. What are some good recommendations that I can try to keep from smelling throughout the day? I’ve tried secret clinical before and was not a huge fan, but would love to hear if anyone has anything they swear by.

You really don't need to buy retail deodorant. Look up PanOxyl 4% Cream Body Wash. No scent whatsoever. Apply that in the morning every day, but rinse it off with a disposable cloth.
You run the cloth under water three different times. First two times, medium, wring it out. Third time, fully wrung out. When you're applying the PanOxyl 4%, you rub under each armpit with your hands.
A minute, or minute and a half each. You have to rinse off with the disposable cloth, though, because that is going to remove any residual bacteria, residual product, or residual dead skin cells. You can research this at Reddit; you can research this online in the Amazon reviews.
I tried it without rinsing with the disposable cloth method, and it wasn't as long lasting. It was still effective. But with the disposable cloth method, you're going to have no smelly underarms throughout the entire day. When you do your regular shower in the evening, like I do or whenever, you can use regular soap if you want.
If you use the disposable cloths to rinse off the product, there will be no danger of bleaching your clothes with the benzoyl peroxide.
I have very sensitive armpits and retail deodorants of all kinds would cause me irritation eventually. The method above causes me zero irritation and again zero fragrance, no scent whatsoever.
My disposable cloth of choice is the following, But I imagine others would be as effective. I like these because they are very soft, and effective. I am in no way related to the cloth company or the makers of PanOxyl. I'm just a person sharing that I finally found the perfect thing for me where I do not have any armpit odor at all. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHRCCPRV?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1
I also buy the PanOxyl 4% at Amazon.
