Has anyone else noticed that

Oiler41 · 05-30-2010, 10:52 AM

From 1983 to the present, I've used some variety of Mitchum. While in the Army, working for UPS and working outside in refineries in the South, I have done a lot of heavy sweating. I've worked 16 hour days outside in the refinery, sweating my ass off all day and Mitchum works for me like a charm. I do have to agree though, I think different brands work differently for different people, and I do believe it does have something to do with one's chemistry. It's best to shop around until you find one that works for you no matter which gender a product is billed for.

I use unscented Dry Idea.....and I can't even believe I'm IN here posting this, as the thought of sweating ~ or TASTING my sweat <glaring @ Mr. Sunshine!> ~ just makes me cringe......

I HAVE been known to sweat on occasion......but that's none of Your bees wax.

I use this too!!

While I would love to sit and pretend that I as a Fru I don't sweat. I was a FedEx driver for 10 years in Florida and reality is that Mitchum works. I hate scented anything. I don't want anything clashing with my perfume. Mitchum unscented works like a charm and has kept this Fru from "glistening" in the wrong places for years!

Ha! I was going to just quote Diva and say that I don't sweat, I glisten, but you beat me to it so I'll go with the ole "I perspire, not sweat (but I prefer to glisten)".

ButchEire · 06-26-2010, 07:03 PM

Omg, I thought I was the only one! It took YEARS for me to find anything that worked all day and it ended up being Degree for Men Absolute Protection (antiperspirant and deodorant). Over the years, femmes I have been in relationships with have commented (okay, complained in MANY cases) that I "smell like a man", even with deodorant. Not much I can do about that and in fact, I like smelling like a man! Oh, and trust me, I sweat, a LOT, even with antiperspirant.

Andrew, Jr. · 06-27-2010, 04:26 PM

I use different anti-persp. depending on what I am doing, what's on sale, and so on. I sweat a lot. So, with that said I depend on Mitchum, Axe, & Right Guard. My all time favorite that has been discontinued is Arm & Hammer's Gel Sport Scent. I so miss it. I only use men's. Women's anti-persp. never worked for me.

EnderD_503 · 06-27-2010, 07:58 PM

Axe actually really surprised me first time I tried the body spray. It was one of those brands that I thought just road off the commercial appeal for its target group. Was surprised it not only worked to any degree as a deo, but worked really well at that. Still prefer Adidas, though.

RockOn · 06-27-2010, 08:51 PM

I use men's Mitchum - clear kind that doesn't leave white powder on the underarm places on your shirt. I like the sports or mountain scents.

I have not used women's deordorant in decades.

Random · 07-02-2010, 07:22 AM

I don't use it....

I never got into the habit, so if I do buy it, then it sits unused... I really just don't like the way it feels...

I shower before going out and then again when I come home...

If, at some point during the day, I have worked up a killer sweat, then I go to the bathroom and clean up..

chefhottie25 · 07-03-2010, 12:12 AM

I work in a hot kitchen with a hot chef coat on all day. I have tried several different deodarants. I have found that axe...especially type called kilo works for me. I put it on after my morning shower and after 8 to 10 hours of work it still holds up. I also use the axe kilo body wash in the shower and it leaves me feeling really clean.

Oh gads..

Chef coats..

*Head Shake*

Upper management got the smart idea that bakers should be wearing chef coats... Ya.. because working in front of a 420 oven all day is not hot at all, and you constantly don't have your hands and arms in dough all day long..

I used to go through at least two a day..

Strappie · 07-05-2010, 10:15 PM

I can't say I've ever in my life used female deodorant. I used my dads since I started using it. Then I ended up finding Degree "Sport" of men.... I love love love it!! lol

Scorp · 07-07-2010, 06:28 AM

I use Degree for men "cool rush" scent. It has a nice clean smell and I've been using that for ages.

violaine · 07-09-2010, 09:43 PM

i make my own with lavender essential oil, witch hazel, xanthan gum, and ascorbic acid.

Ms. Tabitha · 05-30-2010, 11:22 AM

I used men's deodorant when I worked EMS/Fire fulltime because women's deodorant just did not hold up.
I did not want to be in the back of an ambulance and lean over my patient to get something out of a cabinet and render them unconscious.

I now use Crystal rock deodorant, it works for me.

Me too. well, not since 1983 but maybe since 1999. it works way better than anything else.

MysticOceansFL · 07-02-2010, 05:59 AM

I still use the same deoderante as I have for years.

07-02-2010, 06:27 AM

Another Mitchum user (since the 80's) here, 'tis very effective. My girl uses it too. We both use the unperfumed one.

A little tip for those who experience the white residue thang - just a little bit of aqueous cream or moisturizer wiped over the affected area.

Mitchum works great... I haven't used anything else since I started using it a few years back.

(as to the thread question I couldn't really compare it to the women's deodorants as I haven't used them since I was like a teenager)
