Deodorant bleeding through shirts?

Anyone ever have this issue? I use the Old Spice Red Zone deodorant (NOT antiperspirant), which I'm 99% sure it's a water-based compound. The deodorant itself is the blueish colored stick. Anyways, it feels a bit moist going on, and sometimes it'll bleed through my shirts. The problem is a) it looks like I'm sweating and b) it doesn't evaporate but stays til washed. It doesn't leave a permanent stain or anything, it's just annoying.

So has anyone else experienced this? What options have you tried? Just use less or blot after applying or use a different one that doesn't do this? It's a bit of a pain to check for stains about an hour after getting dressed and having rub dampened fingers over them to wash it out while wearing the shirt.

I've never experienced this, but, if I did, I think the first option I'd try would be changing deodorants.

My friend had this happened with that brand I believe, he told me he had to wait for it to dry an that helped a bit. Try to avoid running around the locker room with your arms up like he did though.
