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

Original post by FallBride2004

Picked 2 at random and decided to wear a light blue top (figured that would show any problems!)

The left pit is Lady Speed Stick Clean

The right pit is Secret Platinum Invisible

I got to work at 7:30 and decided I would check in with the products at 9:00, 12:00, 3:00 and 5:00.

I have a co-worker who is coming to the wedding who will help if any sniff tests are needed.

At 9:00:

The left pit (Lady Speed Stick) is very dry and no marks - seems to smell fine

The right pit (Secret Platinum) is also perfectly dry and mark free at this point, smell is excellent

Stay tuned...

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.

I think that you have way too much time on your hands!!! Although, it is a great service to us all and I appreciate it.

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.

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!
