idc if i “smell like a boy”. mens REGULAR deodorant has far better antiperspirant and odor protection. as a sweaty gal only ‘clinical’ womens deodorant worked for me and ts is $10. regular mens deodorant is just as effective and costs $4. genuine dgaf.

I like using Arm and Hammer ultra max. They have a unscented and fresh scent that doesn’t really smell “manly”, just clean, and it costs like 2.99. Lasts alll day and also doesn’t irritate me.

You should look up a brand called Duradry, they make really good antiperspirant-specific deodorant, and they come in good scents, I use it every day and it helps so much more than when I don’t use it🙌🙌

also i love how so many of yall came together to relate and share advice in the comments. it took me legitimately like 8 years to find the right solution on my own bc i was too embarrassed to ask anyone so. its kinda healing to know theres no judgement for being sweaty and wearing mens deodorant 😭😭

nah if its unscented i feel like its not working. and tbh i lowkey fw the “boy smells” i usually use degree mens sport if im gonna be outside or walking a lot that day and i like the smell. but for just casual wear every man jack and its sandalwood scented which rlly fits my kinda earthy aesthetic i got going on. i highkey dont mind the fragrance at all. i dont want my pits to smell like peonies and coconut anyways😭

lmao thats real. i used to only wear essential oil rollerball fragrances but the brand i loved stopped making them so now idgaf. but if i wanna be “girly” i just use like a vanilla body spray w the amber and sandalwood deo so its more of a sweet warm earthy scent. i rlly like it. mens deo doesnt prevent u from still smelling feminine u just gotta find one that pairs well with the fragrance notes you already have/like🤷‍♀️

Omg theres this local place to me that i think does delivery they make great botanical, fem and masc fragrances. Theyre called archibald sisters and i swear by em. in store theres a butch behind the counter that can make custom ones based on ur vibe its so sick

ill look into it but the brand i got was just smthn random i found at cvs😭 it was a blend of oils but it was like lavender w a citrusy woody kinda under note? it was genuinely such a sublty sultry scent but not overpowering like a lot of oils are. matter of fact i was wearing it on my first date w my bf 2 years ago and he was just as sad as i was when we found out it was discontinued 😭

im more in my “sweet earth” era though so the sandalwood amber vanilla combo is great. but for fall im curious about like mixing my own and doing a cinnamon or nutmeg type oil, vanilla, and a lil pine. goal is to smell like cookies being baked in a forest cabin..if that makes sense😭

oh interesting! yeah i wish id known about that years ago. luckily its completely cleared up but i used to have eczema in da pits so that would’ve definitely been a better option than the stronger frangranced stuff i was using. good to know tho in case it comes back

I had psoriasis in my pits when I was still playing soccer, so I relate to the struggle of finding deodorant that works but isn’t too harsh
