most of us uses deodorant or either powder to keep out underarm from smelling bad or sweaty. i am using powder until now, roll on deodorant makes my shirt sticky and discolor the shirt that i am wearing and my underarm gets darken if i use roll on deodorant. plucking makes it more darker too and make it look like a chicken skin.

i regularly use powder for my underarms. I do however use nivea whenever i expect real tough sweating.
True, plucking can darken your underarms that is why i just shave it. I shave at night so that it wont sting when i put the powder the next day.

I would never of thought about pluckng my armpit hair. I uusally use deoderant. However, I don't use it everyday unless it's really hot out or I"m going to work or a function. But at home I could care less.
I was thinking of something else to use besides washing my underarms 2x a day... since I am short on funds and I don't have alot of deoderant left.

true. deodorants can be really expensive. Why wont you try powder? It is 50% cheaper and you can also use them for your feet.

yeah, powder is much less expensive than any other deodorant for underarm.sometimes, if i have time before sleeping, i just rub a slice of calamansi or lemon on my underarm,even without putting some deodorant under my arm the next day, there will be no odor that could be smelled throughout the whole day.

I used the spray deodorant. I used roll on before but it stick on my dress too. The spot where it stick will harden and didn't removed after multiple wash. It ruin my dress! I've been trying the spray type for quite awhile and so far the result is satisfying. I don't pluck, it's painful. I only shave it.

yeah i know it, you are such a lucky person of not using an underarm... my underarm started to have different smell when i joined camping on Girlscout during my elementary years. we were having a long camping and we girls used to exchange clothes for fun. and that was the reason why i started using deodorant.

hi xannebul,
i am using a roll on deodorant and i am not having any problem. i am fond of plucking the hair from my armpit it relieves the itchiness. yes, you are right it's like chicken skin but i never had a problem of having a dark color armpit due to use of deodorant and plucking.
have a good weekend!
