als74 1 Posted March 8, 2009 Hey all, So I don't know if this happens to everyone, but I need a better deoderant. Armpit odor has changes, but Mitchem (sp) cause breakouts, so I can't use that. Any suggestions for a GOOD womans underarm deoderant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derbin247 0 Posted March 8, 2009 has this happened since the surgery? i use secret platinum protection clear. if you are sweaty you can use Certain Dry. Its amazing. dont use it after you shave. they also have a deoderent. you can find it at a drug store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
als74 1 Posted March 9, 2009 Yes, this has been since surgery. I noticed I only last about 1/2 a day before I start smelling like a man. The smell has changed (not for the better) and is much stronger than ever before. I hate it. I currently use degree for woman, and have tried the secret platnum. They are about the same- 1/2 a day protection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsullivan68 0 Posted March 9, 2009 I started using the clinical strength brands that are now available to everyone over the counter. You could give it a try, it certainly can't hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimilou2004 13 Posted March 9, 2009 I have the same problem so I carry my deoderant and washcloth with me. I blame it on the increased Protein intake. I started with Secret, tried several others to no avail and stuck with Degree. Days I eat more carbs I don't notice the problem as much. I am dreading the coming of summer.

als74 1 Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks for the input- I will try the clinical strength. Before it made me break out, but I will try it again. Maybe it will be different this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jillrenee15 0 Posted March 13, 2009 I personally think Degree, in any flavor, is the best deoderant ever. I've used others thinking I'll try them because they are on sale, but I always end up giving it to my daughter and going to get some Degree. It just works.

ShrinkyDink 0 Posted March 13, 2009 I definitely noticed a difference after surgery too. I tried the Mitchum clinical strength and it burned the bejeebers out of my skin. I then tried the Secret clinical strength and I love it. It doesn't irritate or cause break outs for me at all, and I've used it right after shaving. I did notice it rubs off white onto my clothes if I don't let it dry completely, but I guess I was just spoiled to the kind I used before that didn't do that. It's fine as long as I wait a minute to get dressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnfarmgal 0 Posted March 13, 2009 Try Almay, it's a gel but I found it works really good for me cause I would always breakout with everything else. been using it for years now and I have no problem with it, funny isn't it how our bodies change after a surgery, ecspecially such a great surgery.
