Is Sure antiperspirant the worst spay on deodorant?

Posted by PigsAreTastyFood@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 23 comments

After buying Sure because it was on offer ( i normally use rightguard) i have come to the conclusion it is even less effective than an Xmas linx Africa i got 3 years ago from an aunty. What men's deodorant is everyone else styling that does work?

Why does Sure regular Snell so nasty now? I wasted my money on 3.

Lynx is a deodorant and Sure is an antiperspirant. Completely different and Sure should actually do something.

This. One stops you sweating and one makes you smell 'nice'. I do still get Lynx sets for Xmas, some of the newer smells ain't bad for wearing around the house, saves you wasting you nice aftershaves.

Ineos anti-perspirant mist in the square pump bottle. So far it's the ONLY deodorant that works reliably for me, doesn't irritate, and doesn't fail after two hours. I apply 2-3 squirts to each pit after my shower in the morning, and it lasts all day and night even when it's stifling. Magic stuff, and I pray they never discontinue it. Second choice would be Lynx Dry aerosol, with Nivea anti-perspirant aerosol coming in closely behind. Both are good for about 12 hours I find, which is enough to get me through the workday at least. Everything else either doesn't work for me, or irritates my pits to the point where they dry out, crack and eventually bleed.

I used this once back in the late 90's and it was like I'd sprayed 'snow in a can' in my armpits - thought it might have moved on by now.

Nope, even after spraying a flutter of snow falls to the carpet and slightly marks it

In almost 30 yrs, how is it possible that they haven't fixed that?

I've not had Sure as a spray but as a roll-on it's one of the few that actually works for me. Tried other roll-ons such as Nivea and they don't work anywhere near as well as Sure.

The Sure roll-on used to be the best back in the '90s. Ingredients have probably been outlawed since...

When I worked in the States nearly 20 years ago, I was so shocked that everyone used roll on and all the English dudes had spray deodorant.

In The States they use stick deodorants rather than roll-on or spray.

I've recently switched to roll on, after years of thinking it's all sticky and nasty, but it's actually working better than spray deodorant

Do you have to wait long for it to dry before you put a tshirt on?

[-]

Alert-Performance199@reddit

Using L'Oréal Men Expert that seems to dry pretty quickly

[-]

PigsAreTastyFood@reddit (OP)

I didn't even know they done that, it's not pricey either. Does it smell okay?

[-]

Alert-Performance199@reddit

Yeh smells not bad, tbh you probably need to try it out for yourself and see if it works for you

[-]

PigsAreTastyFood@reddit (OP)

Thank you

[-]

Alert-Performance199@reddit

Only couple mins while I get ready

[-]

PigsAreTastyFood@reddit (OP)

Which brand do you use? Does it show on tshirts etc?

[-]

Alert-Performance199@reddit

L'Oréal Men Expert Carbon Protect. It shows much less with stains on t-shirts etc which would happen more with spray on

Little hint: Antiperspirant works best if it has plenty of time to dry out before you start the day. Applying the night before makes a massive difference. Though it does screw around with when you wash.

just to check you do know antiperspirant is different from deodorant? antiperspirant stops you sweating, deodorant hides you sweating. I think sweating is important so I avoid antiperspirant
