What brands have you use? Also do you like the stick or the spray form?

I have used gel secret and right now I have that one you can use with like black clothing and it won't get on it.

I usually recommend deodorants without aluminium but as I find them to be a bit less effective, that's probably not for you. if you are not bothered about aluminium, dove roll on deodorants work really well, especially if they haven't got a specific scent to them, like the one for black / white clothing. I know that pharmacies carry deodorant that is especially strong so you could use it even for sports and you wouldn't smell unfortunately I don't know a specific brand but that might be worth checking out.

It's weird cause I dance so after I'm done dancing and sweating I don't have bad body Oder as much as when I'm at school.
I never even knew deodorant had aluminum in it. And I don't like deodorants with strong scents cause I use body spray and I don't want those to mix and smell bad

In that case, maybe it's because you are wearing a certain type of fabric at school that causes the smell? I have had some jumpers which are all a similar fabric (I think it's acrylic ) and they start to smell after half a day while other fabrics like cotton or the lining of blazers are absolutely fine. and yes, most deodorants contain aluminium, I'm just trying to avoid it as it may be linked to breast cancer, it's not 100% proven or anything but I just want to avoid the risk and there are some great aluminium free deodorants like CD or garnier mineral out there, but they are unfortunately not just quite as strong as the conventional ones.

I use the mitchum deodorant block. It's odourless and stops me from sweating. Hope that helps x

It sounds weird, but try men's deodorant it works a lot better than women's.

I've had my fair share problems with deodorants when I was in high school and middle school, no matter what I used my under arms always used to smell (sorry for the TMI) lol But the best one that's worked for me is the Secret outlast. It's like a creamy liquid (not a gel) and your twist the bottom so the product comes out like a gel. It lasts me all day and even until the next day even in the hottest of Sacramento weather. Give it a try! I've wanted to try aluminum free deodorants but I've learned that those don't quite tackle severe perspiration or odor.

I use the Dove brand. It lasts me 24 hours and continuously smells great!

I bought the dove anti perspirant today so I'm going to give that a go and see what happens. And I tried the secret outlast and it didn't work :(

Are you using just deodorant or an antiperspirant? An antiperspirant will usually help more with bo than just a deodorant will. I also agree with trying mens deodorant. I also recommend Lush's dusting powders and deodorants too but I think mens antiperspirant is probably your best option...

As a hairstylist I find myself in many instances where my pits are ridiculously close to people's faces lol. This of course means I don't want some weak ass deodorant. I recommend using "certain dry" once a week. Make sure you don't use it right after or right before a shave as it is very strong. You'll notice over time you barely perspire and any deodorant will do its job, including aluminum free. I'm sure this doesn't fall in the super safe antiperspirant genre but it 100% works and it is something I never go without.
