Female or Male or depends how your dressed?
I use whatever is on sale, sometimes Right Guard sometimes Secret. I don't regard deodorant as being gender related, only something which allows people to be downwind of me.
I used to have some women's deodorant but that was when I had a bathroom to myself. I do try to pick more unisex or no oder stuff though.
If going to work or out with the guys or hitting on women it's male.
If dressed any way it's female. Have 3 diffirent scents in female 1 in male.
It definitely depends on how I'm dressed. Any of the scented male deodorants tend to clash with the perfume.
I haven't used any men's deodorant for several years. Depending on whether or not I am wearing perfume, I will use either a scented deodorant or an unscented one. But always a feminine one!!

More Girl than man
I'm probably the only woman in the mall that smells like Old Spice.. Hehehe

[SIZE="3"]Well, it's strong enough for a man but made for a woman :heehee:. Not! I wear what is best suited to how I am dressed.[/SIZE]
Deodorant is deodorant as far as I'm concerned but usually use whatever brand fresh powder scent, no matter how I'm dressed. I also use blue razors to shave my legs and not pink ones(it's a "Salandra" thing).:happy:
I always use axe, don't really care much for the girly scents
I use femail deodorant Soft and Gentle by Palmolive. The one I am using at the moment is called Soft Jasmin, it does not sting after shaving my under arms.
i use secret it is the best i think my sister saw a few cans but i dont know if she knows if i dress
Secret Powder no matter what i'm wearing.
I've got both (Secret= female and Mennen= male) but I now NEVER use the Mennen.
I LOVE the flowery, fruity scent of the Secret. I WANT to smell that way, even in drab. :D It reminds me of who I am. :happy:
i use secret all th time
I use clear (invisible) Fresh scent Sure. It doesn't leave white marks on clothes and bras!
Ban "fresh" scent whether in male or female mode. Jocelyn
As a result of my wifes allergies I had to switch to the brand that she uses, comes from the health food co-op. She uses a roll on and I went with a stick. Wonderfull product! The stick is not as soft as most and it pulled the hair horribly. Now I have nice naked pits. If anyone were to ask I would relate the truth, I have to use a particular deodorant and it hurts to apply so I shave. What a lucky find for me!
I use Secret too. I was using Right Guard but it caused my shaved arm pits to break out in a rash. The Secret solved that problem.
well with two other girls in the house...always use fem products such as dove, suave baby powder scent and of course secret.
I switch off but most of thetime I use the male stuff :hugs:

I've used Secret for as long as I can remember when I use any at all. (My pits don't perspire much if at all, but my head rains when outside in the heat.)
:hugs:
To me, deodorant is deoderant. I buy the cheapest stuff that I can find, as long as it works. That's usually Suave.

Both my wife and I use Secret. Wow, reading all the post, it seems that Secret is the choice of most of those posting. LOL
Looks like I'm in the majority because I also use Secret 100% of the time.
Avon..works great and no aroma
Secret Clear Gel in Powder Fresh scent. Think I'll look into Procter & Gamble stock.
It's A Secret
Most of the time I use Secret, but occasionally when I'm in drab and I feel a need to be "consistently" male for anyone else who might be around and inquisitive, I use a men's deodorant.
I use Secret Clear Gel all the time. I justified it to my wife by showing her the active ingredient vs other brands. It turns out that Secret has 18% vs anywhere from 14-16% for typical sports (aka male) brands. So---not only are getting a fresh somewhat female smell, you are also getting more protection from you money that the "strong Male " brands. Go figure !!
Queen Helene Natural Mint Julep, from health-food groceries. It's a distinctive scent, not really gendered. You might want to be careful if you shave--sometimes the alcohol base stings even at full bloom of underarm hair.
Well, the most important thing is to bath BEFORE you put on any deodorant. When I worked in an E.R., I was always amazed by the number of people who will go out for a night of fun and believe that the deodorant will mask their B.O. It won't!
You have basically 2 choices in all deodorants, products that contain aluminum zirconium and products that don't. The Aluminum zirconium is a drying agent. You will see it listed as the first ingredient. If you get really "wet" under your arms, and your not sensitive, use that one.
Me, I prefer unscented. Never clashes with my perfume. I have a sneaky suspicion that when the deodorant machines are working at Lever Brothers or C/P, they just change the packaging, not the product. Try The Generic Brand at Walmart. Seems to be very effective and it's 99cents for a standard size, whether it has a girly label, or the one for boys.
Peace and Love, Joanie
And it is too ! :love: & :hugs: Trina - Not So Secret in Lace !
Don't use any at all.
However, if I did it would be aluminum free. Aluminum gets absorbed through the underarm pores and eventually lodges in the brain. Its been cited as being a primary cause of[SIZE=-1] Alzheimer's[/SIZE].
Now I have to state my firm opinion. Well, my soft opinion.
When dressing, it HAS to be girly, like baby powder. Sometimes I wear that kind anyway but I get funny looks in public but so what?
Guys wear way too much scented stuff and I don't like it.
Once I sat next to a girl in the airport who was wearing the same kind as me, and I felt like we were soul sisters!
I use Ban baby powder scented all the time. It just smells nice to me. And isn't it what life is all about ? :D
Me too. :DQuote:

I use whatever is on sale and I use it in large amounts.I used Axe for awhile but my nephew who I'm really close to found it too cloying to smell and browbeat me into using something else.I sometimes use my Mom or my sister's deoderant,just whatever they have.I like Secret and there are certain types of perfumes and cologne for women that I am just crazy about.I used to use the grainy kind of stick deoderants but they made me break out in a rash so I stopped.I like body washes and I was wondering if anybody could recommend a good fem shower bodywash with a nice scent.I know that you can buy bath oil beads and surprisingly,they still make Mr.Bubble!But our tub is set up for shower not tub baths.
I usually use AXE for work and family occasions, but prefer SECRET whenever I can............yes I use SECRET too :thumbsup:
Dry Idea / Powder Fresh for normal days, Mennen Speed Stick when I know I am going to get really bad. No matter what, you still have to keep from stinking up the neighborhood.
I use Degree's Pure Powder, it doesn't seem to influence my perfume- a Liz Claiborne fragrance.

I used to use Old Spice years ago. Showering I use Arbonne Foaming Body Wash. I highly recommend the Arbonne! My whole family uses it so it doesn't stand out and, at work, they're pretty much used to it by now. I use Curel moisturizer, even under my arms, and Shower to Shower, with chamomile, powder. All together it isn't really strong or over powering but yet very femme, at least I think so. The Arbonne is a little pricey but like every one else, I need a little pampering!
Noticing many using Secret I just had to check my wife's side of the medicine cabinet and, there's Secret Platinum! All you ladies couldn't be wrong so I'm going to try it before bed tonight!
Lady Speed Stick, Shower Fresh scent. Very subtle and doesn't clkash with prefume. Haven't used a guy deoderant in about a year.
i use rexona sport for woman and men depends how worked up im gonna get :P
