KungFuPanda Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Why is it hard for me to buy men's deodorant lately? Did they change the way they label it? For years I bought whatever had "deodorant and anti-perspirant" on the label. Now they all just say one or the other. Is it safe to assume ALL of the antiperspirants contain deodorant now? I swear this wasn't always the case. What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear this wasn't always the case. What gives? I thought it wasn't just me. I have such a hard time with the new labels. Bought one yesterday that was only antiperspirant no deodorant. Whoops. Had to read about 6 today to find the correct one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I have only ever noticed either a deodorant or anti-perspirant. Dh and I both prefer the latter, and it is always scented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 There's a difference between deodorant and antiperspirant? :confused1: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 There's a difference between deodorant and antiperspirant? :confused1: I thought antiperspirant means it keeps you from sweating and deodorant just covers the odor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess in the Burbs Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 My dh uses one that is both. He can't do just one. Last shopping trip only 1 item had that on the label. I think they have changed it up. I'm stocking up when I find what he likes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I just buy unscented Sure for the guys. I don't know if the label says it's antiperspirant or deodorant or what. I never get a whiff of anything unpleasant, so I guess t's still working. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I buy Tom's of Maine unscented. I would assume there's some sort of health cost to preventing sweating. People are supposed to sweat. It's bound to be bad for skin and pores and lymph nodes and all that to prevent sweating. What I wear is probably deodorant. It does the job--put it on early this morning and even though I'm quite sweaty due to the dubious A/C and having recently walked outside for ten minutes in 90+ temps, I'm not stinky. YMMV of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theelfqueen Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 DH and I both use men's antiperspirant and deodorant that are BOTH... I use Mitchum Mens Clear Gel unscented(women's is rarely unscented and the scents are a migraine trigger for me) ... DH uses a a speed stick and it must always be both (and he strongly prefers a specific scent). Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) We all like both antiperspirant and deodorant in this house. None of us are comfortable with wet or smelly pits or wet clothes. I'm not a profuse sweater and have to work pretty hard to get sweaty, but DH can sit still and sweat. I stopped buying the gel stuff for him because it made the pits of his t-shirts weirdly plasticky and I had to replace them. Since I don't sweat much, I'm hyper sensitive to any stickiness anywhere. I almost never go to bed without a quick 5-minute shower just to wash the day away. I think the last 2-3 times I've bought deodorant I've had trouble finding what I want. The women's section hasn't changed. It's just the men's. Today I told DH that I give up and he has to get it himself. ETA: in the very recent past, it's been easy to find both, or JUST deodorant. Lately I'm seeing labels that JUST say "antiperspirant" which has me wondering if these aren't actually both. I mean, who wants to block sweat but not odor??? I can see an argument for doing it the other way around, but this makes no sense to me. Edited July 13, 2017 by KungFuPanda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 That's weird. I'll put a plug in for Certain Dri. It's an antiperspirant and deodorant and it's not tested on animals. :thumbup1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
