i previously used gillette invisible solid, and it was mediocre. i recently switched to degree ultra dry, and it's working great. wish i had picked a different scent, or an unscented one, as the "shower fresh" smell doesn't do it for me.

I actually just bought a stick of Crystal while I was at the GNC earlier. We'll see how well it works on me, I'm getting very wary of the chemicals we play with everyday....

I recently switched to Herbal Clear, I really like it. It is aluminum free, and doesn't stain clothes. For some reason it is the cheapest deodorant Target sells. $2.99

The Crystal works very well. The only thing that pisses me off is that you have to moisten it before application and the packaging sucks. I fucking drop the thing 10x every morning picking it up cuz the lid doesn't snap shut.

Well I've been using the Crystal deodarant for a few days now and can say that apparently....it works!

I was very skeptical at first, but it does do a good job of inhibiting the smelly bacteria in your pits. Oh, you still will sweat how you normally do; but you just won't smell. I sweat, I'm cool with that. As long as you don't smell me, I'm fine.

So for the $2 I spent at the GNC to try it out, I think it was worth it. That being said, it's NOT aluminum free. If I remember right, it has Potassium Alum, which contains aluminum. The argument on the net is that since it breaks down to a negatively-charged ion form when absorbed by the skin (which it does easily!), it is not freely absorbed by the cell membranes. Normal deodarant aluminum is absorbed because it breaks down to a positively-charged free aluminum molecule/atom. Believable? Not sure, but I think it's better at least for now...

Honestly, I have to echo the recommendation for women's dove original scent. I ran out of my Right Guard one day, and my fiancee offered hers.

It doesn't clash with my cologne, and the bit of smell it does have is pretty gender-neutral.

It's also aluminum free, and lasts a long time.

I use L'Occitane BAVX. I live in Vietnam, about the most humid place imaginable, and I am not sweating excessively. Plus that stuff has me smelling so good it is unfair to all the other armpits in the room. Expensive at ~$20 a stick though.
