Thread Starter 
Recently stopped using Gilette brand deodorant because of the staining and switched to a "natural" brand, Jason Aloe Vera - but the same thing is happening (white residue in shirt)... any suggestions?

I used to use Gilette brand so I know exactly what you are talking about. I have had good luck wih Old Spice Redzone for keeping me from sweatting and getting the yellow stain on my white shirts. Give it a go.

Any Deodorant/Anti-Perspirant that has aluminum in the ingredients is going to cause staining. I use Tom's of Maine Original care woodspice and no longer have any staining of the pits. It smells good too. I've also used Crystal Stick and it works great. Unfortunately, too good. I lost some of the good bacteria in my pits and had to stop using it for a while (chapped skin).

I use white vinegar when trying to remove pits stains caused by deordorant, working well so far. I'm not lazy to handwash my shirts, but too lazy to hunt down for a different deordorant...

Arm & Hammer deodorant (not the anti-perspirant) is good.

I use a crystal stick, no worrying about the effects of aluminum and it actually works as a deodorant. I have never had stained shirts on the pits area when i was using normal antiperspirants/deodorant though, but the stains came from just sweating in general(back) what i would like is to find a crystal type deodorant with antiperspirant capabilities :P

Just avoid anything labeled antiperspirant -- those are the ones with aluminum.

Tom's of Maine unscented is good too. I keep an old spice sport deodorant in my gym bag since it has a heavier fragrance.

I also have a problem with white residue on black/ dark shirts from deodorant. I use clarins deodorant and it does leave much residue.

I find that arm pit hair trimming is unrelated to stinky armpits. However, if hair is peeking out when your arm is down, women find that to be a big turn off.

Try the Clarins 'spray naturel' not the roll on. And/or soak a cotton pad to apply.

Alternatively if using the roll on after it has dried gently press a dampened cotton pad/towel to set/soak up excess residue prior to dressing.

Tom's of Maine is a godsend. They have multiple scents, all good and rather discrete. I sweat like a pig and they keep my pits smelling fresh and no harm to my shirts/undershirts.

Gel deodorant is far more likely to cause yellowing than spray deodorant. Personally I use Axe, it works well and leaves no residue at all.
