I used to use the spray on kind, as I found it was easy to put on. But for more economical reasons, I use the stick kind of 'DEGREE' deodorant. All of their commercials about it reacting when your body temperature rises is so true. It comes in a variety of smells and styles. There hasn't been a fragrance that I haven't liked since I started using it many, many, many years ago.
What type of deodorant person are you?
Why do you use the style that you selected?
What brand of deodorant do you use?

I dont use any. Once upon a time i did. This is what happen to change it.
What looked like a pimple appeared one day in the armpit. Got pretty large and painful. So i finally desided to pop it. It was really hard to squeeze out. But once it started coming out i saw it was not pimple. It was white like a solid deodorant. It was concentrated B O. Im guessing what happen is a pore got plugged up by the deodorant. Created a very painful experience. That is why i dont use it anymore.

I also use degree and have for many years. I use to use the one that you turn the thing on the bottom and it came up through many little holes.But I can't find that one any more. I use the solid one.

We should start a DEGREE fan party? Maybe even make a commercial together?

Shucks why should HOLLYWOOD pay some actor to sell their products, it should come from the actually users of the products!

I experiment from time to time actually with my deodorants, lol. I do have to say though that my favorite is Degree for women or dove. I like any scents except for powder. I'm not one who sweats that much but the smell of the powder scented ones for some reason give you that musty smell, I don't know what it is but I don't like it, lol. My husband has also used degree for years so I started to use that one for women and I love it.

I use solids. The brand varies, as I like to change up products often.

I'm using the stick type of deodorant. I'm used to it. Roll on tends to become to sticky and it runs out easily. I never tried spray yet but i think i won't like using it. I am using the brand Speed Stick or the one locally available, Safeguard.

I used to think that speed stick meant that the deodorant would cause the person to be able to run fast or something wacky like that. LOL!

Haven't tried the dove deodorant products before, only their soaps.

I use various forms of sticks, always invisible solid. I used to like gels, but they are really gooey and uncomfortable. I like Arrid, Right Gaurd, Speed Stick, and Old Spice. I rotate what I use depending on how I feel when I buy them.

I used right guard before, but at that time it seemed like the guard would run left instead of staying "RIGHT" on it's original post.
I also tried old spice, it was too much of that old man scent to me.

I have been switching from brand to brand lately. It seems that the older I get the less deorderants work for me. I have no idea what is up with that but I am trying to find one that works for me these days.

I always use the stick kind. I had a bad experience with spray when I was younger and find that the rollon does not dry fast and is annoying to me. I use dove. I love the cool cucumber but right now I am using the powder. THey had 2 in a pack for like $2 so I bought like 8 sticks of it.

Wow, such a great deal, you found there. Yeah Dove is great as soap is concerned, but not deodorant in my case anyway.

I use an organic mineral salt roll on. It is free from the harmful aluminum that is present in most deodorants. The aluminum is very harmful you should do some reading because degree has it as well.

I have tried many different deodorants and the one I find to be the most effective while having a good price is Degree. I have been using the Degree stick for years now and I don't think I will ever use anything else.

I actually like the powder sticks the best. Sprays sometimes stain clothes and roll ons can be sticky.

I know what you mean, a few guys I used to work with would always have armpit stains in their shirts at work. It wasn't because they were sweating or anything like that, but rather because of the style and brand of deodorant they used. I'm glad you found what works for you though.

I use lady speed stick deodorant, I use it because it is the only one that works for me, it smells great and it doesn't leave those gross marks on your clothes. I tried the roll on ones but I find that they are messy and leave grease stains on my clothes.

LoL, you said grease stains like it was a messy burger that you picked up from a fast food restaurant. Thanks.

I use the, um, I think roll-on one (is that where you have a hand-held deodorant container that you manually rub up and down on your pits? cuz if so, that's what I use). I forgot what brand, Lady's something-or-other, but it smells really good hehe.

Sounds interesting, I've never heard of that brand, but as long as it works for you and your own budget. If it was so bad for the ozone, layer, then they would make it a rule that manufacturers couldn't produce that type of product anymore. Much like they are making everyone switch over to HDTV converter boxes or buy a HDTV. That's how I feel about it, but thanks for sharing.
