As a scientist, I'm very impressed with the meticulous nature of this experiment. You are truly doing a service to humanity.

This is too funny. I agree with the poster above who prefers the 'cream' like formulas to the gels. I always feel like I have wet underarms with the gels - I don't think it ever drys.

I say you need to use them under the same underarms and not switch. Maybe it needs a cumulative effect?

LOL LOL LOL

I use Secret Platinum & really like it. I never had a problem with it.

I was told that women should switch up every 6 months or so since our bodies get used to a particular brand. I don't switch up often - unless I run out and end up using leftover Dove.

See this is why we need this board! My FI has been my 'research assistant' in the quest for the perfect deodorant. He got sick of seeing the white marks from the gel deodorants. I just switched back to Secret Platinum cream. How does the Mitchum solid/cream work? I don't like the gel.

Are you an industrial engineer? I must say you designed a wonderful unibiased experimental approach. The only problem might be if you tend to sweat more under one armpit than the other. Oh gosh, I'm too anal.

Re: First of the Deodorant Tryouts today - read on...

I used to use Lady Mitchum (Powder Fresh). Now I use the male Mitchum (Fresh Clear Gel). It's the best. No white marks, but I have to be careful not to put on my clothes immediately after applying it.

For Today Switched Armpits and will use the same end of day scoring methods

I've been thru the 1st 2 checkups of the day and they went well for both sides - but the 3:00 is coming up quickly and the co-worker is ready to roll

be back soon!

But thank you for doing us all a service and posting your findings!!!
