I’ve been using this since 7th grade man. I’ve tried some others but good ol ocean surf has never done me wrong
Open_Pineapple1236@reddit
I just switched to this a year ago or so. I was wearing musk for 30+ years. I can't find it anywhere.
MegaRadCoolDad@reddit
I'm using it, the Irish Spring flavor.
Intelligent-Camera90@reddit
This lady prefers the regular Speed Stick. One of the few deodorants that doesn’t give me a migraine. And….my husband can use it in a pinch.
Tony_Tanna78@reddit
I used to use Speed Stick for a bit before switching to Degree for a while. Lately I have been using Dove Men+Care deodorant that is anti-marks & stains.
pickledpeachesforall@reddit
I got this for my son as his first deodorant. It's not an antiperspirant and it's even this scent. I tell him not to forget his speed stick so he can go fast. He just groans and rolls his eyes lol
repo_code@reddit
If it doesn't say anti perspirant, it's just perfume.
Assortedpez@reddit
Oddly enough, antiperspirant always made me sweat a ton. I can only use deodorant
Strandrift@reddit
Thought I was the only one 🥲
Lowspark1013@reddit
I'll pass on the aluminum, thanks.
ColdMastadon@reddit
That's not totally true, there are ingredients in there designed to destroy the odor-causing molecules that bacteria produce. I'm unfortunately allergic to the aluminum compound in antiperspirants, so I've had to just go with the regular SpeedStick my whole life. Trust me, there's a bigger difference on a hot, sweaty day than can be explained by just the fragrance.
mrossm@reddit
I work construction in texas summers, if I wear anti perspirant I'll probably die. Sweating is necessary
Roland-Of-Eld-19@reddit
You still sweat out your back and other pores it just aids in keeping the armpits a bit less funky
Calm-Tree-1369@reddit
Yep. This. I'm a clean person. I shower daily, but I need to have antiperspirant or my armpits smell like BO after a few hours at work.
boggstown@reddit
Yep
Do_it_My_Way-79@reddit
I would always get an allergic rash with the solid white sticks so I have used this for 25+ years.
LeaveThatCatAlone@reddit
The rash from the regular stick sucks so bad! Without the gel I'd have to use the shitty spray on Right Guard my dad still uses.
Do_it_My_Way-79@reddit
I tried the spray but liked the gel way more.
LeaveThatCatAlone@reddit
Gel is the way
TelevisionKooky3041@reddit
I still use the Gillette sticks, they're still readily available here in the UK.
lordskulldragon@reddit
That's wild, I always got the rash with these.
BlueProcess@reddit
I'm still mad at Gillette. Besides this stuff literally glued my armpits shut lol
chunkerton_chunksley@reddit
The first time I used this it felt like hair gel in my pits, never again.
ronchee1@reddit
If you aren't already, Costco sells multi packs of these, great price, especially on sale
Do_it_My_Way-79@reddit
Oh yeah, always the Costco packs.
tbama11@reddit
I’m in the gel gang too. That solid shit always made my armpits itchy
Roland-Of-Eld-19@reddit
Financial-Yak-4172@reddit
Right Guard gel for me. I've never liked white sticks.
farfanseaweevil@reddit
Hated the gel and the in-between substance.
farfanseaweevil@reddit
Right guard gave me a rash. Costco speed stick for the win.

Odysseus, adorifously, oflacty, eminations. Adoraforus, alfalactory, amarinations. Adorforus, alflactonal, nominations. Oderoferus, afalactagil, emancipations.
TheLastBoat@reddit
Anything less would be uncivilized.
Alternative-Light514@reddit
Damn! Ironically, I was just thinking about Right Guard deodorant the other day, but this comment unlocked an old one. This is why I come around here. It’s funny to think that something as innocuous as a deodorant commercial would someday be fun to remember. I’m going to go YouTube old Right Guard commercials now
Alternative-Light514@reddit
After watching Sir Charles discover ancient treasure and go on a fox hunt, I was lead to this gem I had also forgotten about. Good times
Alternative-Light514@reddit
I felt like I was ready to take athletics seriously, once I started wearing Right Guard in jr high
Turbulent_Ad9508@reddit
Wow, thats a throwback.
When your mom bought this for you in 1991, she meant you need to wear it everyday. Not once a year.
Roland-Of-Eld-19@reddit
Haha i googled a picture of how i remember it looking like way back then, I had to search right guard vintage photo 🤣
Salt_Boss145@reddit
I use speed stick but OG scent. The green one. Also the only thing I’ve used since about 7th grade lol.
longlivelevon@reddit
Byyy Mennon 🎶
dishwasher_mayhem@reddit
Fun fact: The man that created the jingle graduated from my high school in 1972. He came back to speak at our school all the time.
Rainin3sfromthetrees@reddit (OP)
Cooo-Stanza
dishwasher_mayhem@reddit
I use the unscented and buy them in packs of 5.
Responsible_Sound_71@reddit
Yep still buy them in 2 packs
Rainin3sfromthetrees@reddit (OP)
Exactly!
Responsible_Sound_71@reddit
Only difference is my teenage son gets one and I get the other!
Epicardiectomist@reddit
ha, though I use the regular green stuff.
I have weird skin, especially my armpits, so I've gone through many deodorants. This is the one that doesn't give me issues and I've used it since time immemorial.
thewanv@reddit
Buddy, I was still rocking Original until a few years ago. Switched to Ocean Surf and am never looking back
BloodyRightNostril@reddit
I’ve been using original since I was a teenager. Is ocean surf that good?
CraigGrade@reddit
It’s okay but it’s a different texture/consistency
thewanv@reddit
It’s like going from black and white tv to color. What a world.
PabsyC@reddit
damn, guess I have to try it now…
TGsunn78@reddit
I’m the opposite. I used Ocean Surf for almost 30 years and I just recently switched to Original. I suppose it was time for a change. My 15 year old son uses Ocean Surf.
Interesting-Nebula-8@reddit
Ol' reliable. Tales me back to my locker after gym class. And, it's cheaper than anything else. Old Spoce taking up the shelf
Rainin3sfromthetrees@reddit (OP)
Exactly!!! I grew up in California and after PE we had to go change in a portable classroom (no locker room). If you’re from California, you know what that is. The most embarrassing part of the day was when I had to take my PE shirt off in a room full of post pubescent boys and me…scrawny skinny little me… would put on my deodorant then put my school shirt back on.
Even worse is if you didn’t put deodorant on after PE. The whole portable full of boys would know… you would absolutely get roasted
rdogg_82@reddit
Tbh the Irish Spring is pretty solid as well.
R0botDreamz@reddit
The original Irish Spring deodorant from the 90s was amazing. They use a different formula now but the original was so good.
jambr380@reddit
Yep, Irish Spring is about the cleanest scent of any kind on the market. I'm a sucker for Ocean Surf, too, though. And it's good to switch between the two so I don't get used to them for too long
Plastic-Sentence9429@reddit
I put it on this morning.
lordskulldragon@reddit
I'm an AXE man.
ChesterCopp@reddit
Is it out of use or something? Just bought a 6 pack of them on Amazon!
imnottheoneipromise@reddit
I would still wear teen spirit if I could find it. That shit smelled good. I don’t care what Nirvana said about it.
TuckerCarlsonsOhface@reddit
A mosquito and a beetle?
Appropriate-Food1757@reddit
I’ll snag one in a pinch from 711 or a 2 star hotel lobby
Spaceboy779@reddit
Dollar Store special!
gravityhomer@reddit
This is literally the deodorant I have used my entire life. What the hell, is this a thing for people our age?
Elethuir@reddit
I use to wear it but the original scent
Pete6@reddit
I still miss Speed Stick Ultimate.
StarQuill01@reddit
Kcir8378@reddit
Still rocking it. Ocean Surf smells the best. IMO
Wild_Creme4498@reddit
This is the only deodorant I use
cheeker_sutherland@reddit
Switched to this once they got rid of lime.
ILikeBumblebees@reddit
If you've been using the same stick of deodorant for a couple of decades, I bet you smell really bad.
Lowspark1013@reddit
30+ years and going.
RavensFeedMe@reddit
Its all they have in my local county jail..
Very popular.
Rough-Boot9086@reddit
I used to use Teen Spirit and Secret when I was a teenager. I started wearing lady speed stick in my late 20s and never looked back
EmergencyAbalone2393@reddit
I worked a promotional job in college and ended up with about 100 sample/travel sized sticks of this. I didn’t buy deodorant for 7 years. Somehow that stuff was good for that long!
I found one under a shelf about 15 years later and it was finally all dried out.
winteregress@reddit
OMG I can literally still smell that! Please please please switch it up!!!
Just kidding, mostly... the scent of nostalgia is still effective :)
Just_Spinach_31@reddit
I still have a stick, but just for transferring tattoo stencils
Turbulent_Ad9508@reddit
It works and it's cheap. No need to ever switch.
I think I'm more of a Power guy
globedog@reddit
It’s always the lowest price.
madeleinetwocock@reddit
Omg okay wait 😂 last month Speed Stick was one of my local store chain’s “hit of the month” (they have 4-5 products on for a stupidly good price across all their stores for a month) and I stocked SO up on precisely this
🌊 🏄♀️
Status_Entrepreneur4@reddit
Literally just put some on this morning
Rck0025@reddit
I would take this over axe body spray…but I wouldn’t like it.
RealCauliflower773@reddit
I was rocking fresh breeze since I was a teenager, but they recently changed the formula and both my wife and I recognized it immediately. Unscented is my new jam. Also, get off my lawn.
changeforthebetter89@reddit
I have that brand and I’m loving it
keeljoh@reddit
Since 7th grade.
henkmanz@reddit
With grooves so funky, they come with a Speed Stick
Now check the flavour that i'm bringing The one and only D R E I keep their motherfucking heads ringin'
Money_Magnet24@reddit
I don’t use deodorant anymore
Too many chemicals and metals
imnottheoneipromise@reddit
So that’s what we all been smelling around here
Money_Magnet24@reddit
Pheromones ?
imnottheoneipromise@reddit
Sure… you can call it that.
Pale_Leek2994@reddit
That would be me.
Bergmiester@reddit
speed stick reminds me of bootcamp.

Thereminz@reddit
I tried multiple different brands through high school, ultimately gillette clear gel cool wave is the best
joelkeys0519@reddit
Graduated to anti-perspirant in 8th grade so, yeah. There’s that 👍🏻
Perkinberry@reddit
RIP sport talc scent
Lucky_Louch@reddit
yeah I started with Old spice since my dad used it but it gave me rashes on my pits. Switched to this and occasionally Dove mens which are easier on pits.
thelizardlarry@reddit
Gonna need the anti-perspirant for me or it’s pit stain city. Gave up on Speed Stick after about 25 years as the product block kept falling out of the applicator.
darthduder666@reddit
Back in the day I used Sure. I used to get a nasty allergic reaction from Speed Stick. Can confirm an allergic reaction in the arm pit is seriously one of the worst places to get an allergic reaction.
SilentJoe27@reddit
Speed Stick doesn’t do squat for me.
yowza_wowza@reddit
I buy this for my nephew
explosiveburritofart@reddit
I use the green
NoContextCarl@reddit
Irish Spring here. Try different ones all the time, but keep going back to Speed Stick.
mysocalledmidlife@reddit
My kid was using Speed Stick, came out of school smelling like he ran a marathon every day. Antiperspirant for the win here. Glad it works for you 😅
Any-Baseball-6766@reddit
Yep
belunos@reddit
I don't like deodorants with scents, I prefer Arm & Hammer
alkaliphiles@reddit
It's the best. No aluminum zinc whatever that stains your shirts
