What Deodorants Live Up to their Hype?
As a woman who found herself consistently being failed by deodorants, I know how hard it is to find a deodorant that actually works and left me still dry and smelling fresh at the end of the day. Most women think that they sweat more than the average woman because as women, we are sometimes too embarrassed to talk openly about deodorants, sweat and basically any bodily function that isn’t considered “lady-like.”
So what deodorants lived up to their hype and what deodorants crashed and burned?

I hope that this list of deodorants helps when trying to choose the right product for you. I have personally tried more than a handful of different deodorants and antiperspirants and know how hard it is to find the right one that works just the way you need it to. If you have tried any other products that you have loved and want to spread the word about, leave them in the comments!

well i don’t use deo’s usually but in summer i need them to hide the body odor my select is axe
I was a tried-and-true Secret user for the longest time … when they came out with Platinum I thought I went to deoderant heaven, if such a thing existed..lol…but I have to say, Dove’s deoderant is really quite nice as well – and works, even in my worst sweats (and hot flashes and night sweats…a-hem).
May I please enquire if there are deodorants that are animal friendly, or free of using animals for testing? A more “A La Natural” so to speak or organic type? Thank you for any insight , and your input.
I like dove the most. Beautiful fragrant.
nice and informative post. my personal favorite is dove too.
thanks for sharing.
