I rarely used deodorant before LO because I didn't have to.
Now. I stink if I don't apply 1-2x a week.
I've been using Jason deodorant. It's decent and smells good!

Omg, I apply every day!!
I use an all natural deodorant but it smells like a citronella candle. Totally gross. I need to switch.

I've used Secret forever. It works great. Now that I've had the baby, though I have to reapply multiple times a day because I start to smell. Ewwww.

Dove original. I apply once a day. I'm so jealous that you don't have to use it as often!!

I never used to wear deodorant before preg, it used to make me sweat more.
I use Dove here and there now.

@autumnlove: that works for you?? ugh it doesn't work at all for me.
I want a more natural deoderant but haven't found any that works. So I vary between dove and secret.
I'm so jealous you only need it 1-2x a week.. that's insane!

OMG. @chopsuey119: @mrsjyw: I'm so glad to finally hear I'm not the only one that doesn't use deodorant. I just never fell the need for it and don't sweat at all on a normal day. My husband uses it daily, even if he's just sitting around the house and think I'm so weird for never using it.

@mrsjyw: @PurplePumps: wait til you have babies! Omg. I smelled SO SO SO SO nasty after I gave birth!! It was the most shocking thing I've ever experienced. DH could smell me from 5 feet away! haha.

After LO's arrival I was such a sweaty mess I had to go out and but Secret's Clinical strength stuff. Otherwise I've really had no brand loyalty.
hostess / eggplant / 11068 posts
Secret but I'm needing some serious clinical stuff because I sweat like a mother. Even if I'm not even that hot, my pits are always so hot and sweaty!
blogger / honeydew / 7081 posts
Secret for the most part. I'm really interested in the new natural stuff at our local health food store though. I might give it a try after the stupid hot days of summer are gone.

I used to use Secret, but now I switched to Degree for women. It's much better for me. I don't know if my body was just used to Secret or what. I always wear deoderant. Hubby is a fanatic about putting it on.

@chopsuey119: me too!! I never wore it before this little girl was born, now I have to use it everyday. Thanks baby.

I got the sweat gene from my dad so even if it's COLD I'll sweat.... now that I've had DD and am ebf'ing it's WORSE. =(
I use Dove and switch to Secret every 6 months or so.

I use Dove Baby Powder Scent. I even made DH switch from his manly man deodorant to mine because I'm very sensitive to perfumes.
pomelo / 5331 posts
Secret. It's the only one that ever worked, I've used it since I was 16. But I have to use the 24-hour protection one because I get super sweaty.

i've never had to use deodorant either ... now there's one more thing to worry about pp! i'll probably just use baking soda if it comes to that.

I really like this one from the Body Shop: http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/body-products/deodorant/deodry-dry-effect-deodorant-fresh-floral-roll-on.aspx
or this one from Tom's: http://www.tomsofmaine.com/products/deodorant/product-details/new-long-lasting-deodorant-stick
...but if I go to the gym or it is super sticky out I have to wear Dove. I love Dove because it's the only one that doesn't leave that dry residue even after you wash it off. I wish I could use the natural stuff all the time but I just can't deal with any stink

I finally found a local deoderant I like: Barnängen Yoghurt-Aloe Vera. It looks like it's owned by a German company but whatever, it's available at my neighborhood store and I'm happy with that!

I alternate between the different "clinical strength" formulations. I sweat a lot!
pineapple / 12053 posts
i had no idea people didn't wear deodorant every day! i wear mitchum and usually the men's because i can never find the roll-on women's. it's antiperspirant because i sweat!

I've used Secret for years, but since I got pregnant in April, I wanted to use something without aluminum. I tried Tom's, and it was awful. I'm currently using JASON, and it's better but not great. I'm not sure if there's a more natural deodorant that actually works well. For me, at least.

I didn't start using deodorant regularly until a year or so ago. I just didn't think I smelled or sweat that much... After hitting 30, I feel like I sweat more! I use Degree for women. Dove didn't seem strong enough.
I use Degree because my ex used Degree (for men) and I always thought it smelled really good, Haha!

I use Ban. DH has never used deodorant. He only smells after a run or really hard day at work, and then he just showers.
pineapple / 12234 posts
Ban in fresh cotton. I've used it for 10 years! I only have to apply it once a week though. Before Ban, I used certain dry roll on and secret (both) every day.

Ugh. I always used to use Secret and then after baby #2 it stopped working. I've been trying to find a natural deodorant (mainly to keep from staining my shirts) but I've tried Toms of Maine and it did nothing. That JASON stuff @chopsuey119 loves I have to reapply about 5 times a day. I tried Aidias aluminum free and I might as well have not used any for all it did.
Super annoyed. And I smell funny. Does this get better? Will it go back to normal sweatiness after a while?
bananas / 9628 posts
I haven't found a natural one that works for me yet I use dove original. But I only put it on every other day.

I still haven't tried secret clinical strength. I am a loyal Kiehls deodorant user - it's the best!
hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts
I use Dove! the one with the pink or green cap - I forget what it's called. I looove it though!

omg, I put on deodorant every day (and have since I was 9!). Secret. Not only that, but I have to use certaindri to keep from perspiring and ruining all my shirts. I even keep a travel size with me in my purse, so that just in case I happen to forget to apply at home I have another option.
hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts
@StrawberryBee: I had to use certaindri (i think) in high school! it ruined SO many shirts..I finally figured out to put it on at night with a ratty t shirt instead of in the morning..oyy!
nectarine / 2530 posts
@sorrycharlie: yes, when I use it I have to let them air dry before I can put on a shirt. I also use it at night.
