I'm not sweaty, but since I got pregnant and after having my daughter, my...odor( 
) has been off the charts! So gross! I've tried Dove, Secret, and Mitchum. Help me not stink!!

@MrsHansen82: well you're in good company, this happened after both of my LOs arrived! The only deodorant that worked for me was Secret Clinical... It's a step up from the ordinary and more pricey but works so well for me - I hope you haven't tried it yet. Good luck!!!
-
I use Arm and Hammer! It works well.
-
I've had this problem most of my adult life. I'll be following.
-
I like secret clinical, 12 hour too!
-
When I was a summer camp counselor, I used Arid. Just the regular kind. It seemed to work better than the stuff formulated for women.
-
I'm Italian, so yes I feel your pain...I use Degree, this one:
-
I like the basic Sure or Arrid brands.
-
I use ban roll on and it seems to work well... Now who can help me figure out what to do about my stinky preggo feet?!?
-
@SouthPaw: @TheSwissWifeStyle: @Anagram: @Hoots: @lady grey: @looch: Thanks! I'll be picking up all of these to try!!
@MrsBucky: Haha! Can you put deodorant in your feet??
@ladybee: Good to know I'm not alone! I was no peach before, but pregnancy made it cray-zy!
-
@MrsBucky: you can use a spray formulation!
-
@MrsHansen82: @looch: Does that really help? And am I total moron for not even thinking of that?? hahaha
-
Arm and hammer, baby powder scent. Works great! I tried the clinical types before and they never worked well...
-
@MrsBucky: I had this problem because I always used to wear flats with no socks. I never tried deodorant, just had to throw my shoes away a lot. It might work though!
-
Which Mitchum have you tried? I really like the Clinical Performance version in the Powder scent. It's kind of hard to find - my Target doesn't carry it, but they randomly have it at my local grocery store (Harris Teeter) and I think RiteAid as well.
-
Random but I like Suave powder fresh. The difference between regular deodorant and the "clinical strength" is a higher percentage of aluminum, which helps control the stink/sweat. So, I always compare the percentage.
Suave has a very high percentage, I think 20%, versus some others (Degree, Dove). I wouldn't have thought it, but it seems to work ok for me.
I find that the clinical strength is better at controlling the sweat but I feel like I get stinkier with it (??).
-
@MrsHansen82: It's been so bad lately that even when I wear socks or just my slippers around the house my feet smell so bad- it's gross! I tried witch hazel the other day which helped until I walked around in my slippers again- alas! I'm going to try deodorant today, though, and I'll report back!
-
@MrsHansen82: @MrsBucky: So I have always had really sweaty feet (gross). They actually make foot deodorant! It is a spray and you can find it in the aisle with other foot stuff. I can't remember the brand name I used (haven't bought it in a while) but it worked REALLY well--I'd spray it on before bed and it would last throughout the next day.
-
I sweat like a 400lb man in July. I use Degree. It works pretty well for me.
-
I use my husband's Gillette and love it!
If you had a sweat problem, I'd recommend Certain-Dri at night too.
-
mitchum men's roll-on. works great for me.
-
I have this problem too, sadly, and the most important thing for me is to change my deodorant regularly. If I use the same kind for too long, it's like my body gets used to it.
-
Weird, but have you tried a deodorant that isn't an antiperspirant? I switched to one and only faintly smell at night when it's washed off - not like BO but just, idk. Body? LOL. My body adjusted to the lack of aluminum (that blocks your body from naturally sweating) and I barely sweat now (which equals less stink too!)
-
@sorrycharlie: which one do you use? I've used natural deodorants before but they cause me to chafe.
-
I use Secret Clinical Strength during the PP days!
-
@sheskrafty: I use Ava Anderson, but I haven't tried any others
-
I am totally putting deodorant on my feet when it's warm enough for flats again!
And @MrsHansen82: you are not alone in this pp smelly business
Instead of getting a better deodorant I just keep re-applying lol
-
Thank you for posting! I have the same problem.
-
If you look on the back it will give you the % of active ingredient. I sat in the deodorant aisle and found the one with the highest % once. I think that turned out to be Secret Clinical Protection, and I used that for a while. Then I noticed that one of the other regular deodorants (I can't remember which brand), had just a little less % active ingredient and was half the price!
-
I second @Mrs. Lemon-Lime! Certain Dri was the only thing that worked for my sweaty adolescent self, and I still use it in the spring/summer.
-
@daniellemybelle: yes! Me too!
-
Degree! Dove doesn't cut it. Sometimes I use clinical strength deodorant to change things up a bit...
