Question Anti-Perspirant Resistance

Does your body get accustomed to one brand/type of anti-perspirant.

I've used a Gillette gel type one for a while but have noticed that it no longer stops the old pits from turning into taps.

Any one else notice this. And no, it's not the hotter weather, I started noticing the effectiveness wearing off for a while.

To be fair i think anti-perspirant just makes me sweat.

I still try different ones though

one of the better ones for me seems to be the addidas range. Sainsburys sell them, although I'm not one of the sweatier types

It could be they're modifying the manufacturing slightly. Changing the ratio of ingredients or something.

I used a Lynx stick deodorant for ages and then suddenly it stopped working. I did notice a very slight change in the packaging. I assume they changed the ingredients.

Try Odaban. Only available to buy from their website as far I know. Only thing I found which stops sweating completely. Would highly recommend. You only put it on once every 2 weeks or so over night. Then wash off in the morning

My boss really sweats alot but it's not the kind of thing you can recommend a treatment for in casual conversation.

I sweat more the older I get - is that an age thing? I'm very fit for my age too but just can't seem to stop it pouring out.

It's not the BO that's the problem, more the salt crusted ring marks on my blue shirts.

Is that the one in a stick you twist up? Ice or something as used that for ages as very good and lasted but then could never find it in stock.

I wonder if artificially stoppping the sweat glands from doing what nature intends is likely to be bad for you after a while.

Try Perspirex.

Use it once or twice a week.

Have you put on weight recently? Fat b*ggers tend to sweat like pigs ...

True, but there are times when she objects to being interfered with!

Iv know people to work in the hot sun and not sweat much at all , it cant be all to do wit being super fit

I think the roll on variety builds up too much gunge that you cant even remove by washing, always use a spray
