The Deodorant Thread

[Prawnapple]

So, I was recently in Checkers, at the mens Antiperspirant / Deodorant aisle and was wondering how people go about choosing a new deodorant or antiperspirant?

I started taking deodorant cans off the shelf to spray 1 or 2 into the lid, so I can take a whiff and decide whether the smell is for me, but I understand this isn't the most kosher way of doing it, not to mention the few glances I got from staff. I don't want to spend R200 on 6-7 different cans and then have none of them work for me so my question is, what is the best way to test, try out or just generally find a new deodorant. Axe deodorant has no lid and has a seal so there's nothing I can spray them into in the store and I don't want to go around breaking seals, if you know what I mean .

Also, general favourite Deodorant / Antiperspirant thread. Share your favourite and least favourite scents. Personally, I prefer a soft, clean smell, nothing spicy as it doesn't mix well with my sweat.

Why would you choose a new one?

I have to wonder where parents went wrong if their child needs help picking out deodorant.

Shield Anti perspirant. Used it for over 30 years.

I got bored with the Blue Brut one I usually use, so I wanted to try something new.

Edit: @bwana if you were hypothetically forced to decide on a new deodorant, how would you go about deciding which one to pick? Let's say you were even forced to change the brand.

I don't like stuff you can smell a town away. Just don't want to stink like a sweating pig. Shield, it does the job.

I like to wear roll-on deodorants. When I pick a new 1 I take off my shirt in the store and test 2 different deodorants one per armpit, finish my shopping then go take the one that felt better during my shop.

Not the gel one...the one with the solid white stick.

It just works...and I sweat like a whore in church.

I also use Mitchum - but the gel one. It does work and comes in an unscented variety.

PS - LOL at the folks trying that stuff out in the store. I would swerve my trolley to avoid you

Nice, but smells like my Dad.

Plenty of women like a guy that smells like their dad. Memories you know.

There's actually something to that

Moreover, the women showed no preference for odors from men with the same gene types as their mothers, but did show a preference for odors from men who shared genes they inherited from their fathers.
