Are there any deodorants that aren't itchy?

I don't know where to find them. I've tried several types, and they all itch. I'm guessing it's the metals in the product?

Would anyone recommend anything?

Deodorants don't bother me and I have sensitive skin. You must have some sensitivity to a common ingredient.

I've never had a sensitivity to deodorants. You are probably sensitive to the perfumes or other ingredients. Like highland145, look for something au natural in terms of ingredients.

I don't get itchy, but I do get a rash from anything but clear gel.

I mostly use Gillette Clear Gel.

Go for the natural stuff.

It doesn't work as well as say, Mitchum, but then again you won't itch.

I put up with a slight itch (aluminum ingredient?) with Mitchum, b/c it blows away every other product I've used. Consumer Reports also rated the Mitchum stuff #1 by a good amount.

I buy Old Spice High Endurance Fresh. Out of all the deodorants that I have tried, it is the only one that does not make it itch and break out into a rash.

Old Spice is the worst one for me as well. It hurts to use it. I might try out all the recommendations ITT. Never used the clear gel stuff but if it works, then I'll go for it. Definitely interested in the "natural" stuff too. Hopefully Amazon has them all so I can just order a huge buffet of deodorants.

Same here, instantly too.

Seems like your arm pits are as big of a pussy as mine.

Before you go nuts at costco, sample it out. I've been using Gillete Clear Gel for well over 10 years. BTW, this is it.

Every now and then my wife forgets and brings home some other crap and I give her the look. Took her few years but now she knows I have pussy arm pits.

:biggrin:

Test before you bulk, everyone is different.

I use unscented Kiss My Face. It works great (better than most others I've tried), and no irritation.

Fuck, I thought I was the only one with pussy armpits. It only started in the last year too. A good three or four different all spice varieties, brut and some of the pricier stuff like natural grooming by urban cowboy and tom of maine's. They were all sticks though and I had given up and went to body sprays. I'll have to try out some of the ones in this thread and make the move to clear gel. Eww, but I guess it beats being sweaty and smelly.
