Are there any deodorants that aren't itchy?

I dont know about itchy, but if you cant find anything to make you comfortable, try switching to medicated body powder.

Dont coat yourself with it. Just dab on some in the worst spots. You will be better off in the long run.

Haven't had any problems with Speed Stick clear sticks.

Used to use Right Guard Extreme Sport Clear Stick exclusively, but they been phasing it in & out the past 4-5 tears.
Easily my favorite, but always have to stock up soon as they are out, because they'll be gone just as quickly.

Another vote for the Gilette's...been using the Sport one (with the orange top)...

the roll-on ones always made my pits itch but no problems with the gel ones...

If its the metals then just buy deodorant. Its antiperspirant that has some form of aluminum in it. Most stuff on the shelf is antiperspirant + deodorant.

Pretty simple if you ask me. Plus, I found that plain deodorant is more effective for me. Could just be coincidence I guess.

I don't use deodorant because:
a) I work alone.
b) I don't stink.

Wish I could help.:p

People with BO always think they don't smell and don't have to use such products. Just an fyi... you're probably scaring people away

Mock me as you will, but I found that Axe is the only brand that doesn't irritate me. Can't use antiperspirant, that irritates the hell out of my pits.

Another vote for just deodorant. Antiperspirant irritates my skin. I don't have issues with sweating, so no big deal for me.

As for people thinking they don't have BO, stop kidding yourself. I remember reading somewhere that one of human's natural defenses is how funky we can get.

I haven't found a deodorant that is itchy, actually. Closest thing I can think of is certain dri, which sometimes burns a bit, but is really only an antiperspirant.
