SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on recommendations for effective antiperspirants that do not leave white marks on clothing. Users suggest brands like Dove, Axe, and Red Zone, emphasizing the importance of avoiding products containing Aluminum chlorohydrate. Alternatives such as natural deodorants are also mentioned, which do not block sweat glands but help control odor. The conversation highlights the trial-and-error nature of finding the right product and the potential impact of application methods on residue.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of antiperspirant vs deodorant functions
  • Familiarity with common ingredients like Aluminum chlorohydrate
  • Knowledge of application methods (spray-on, roll-on, stick)
  • Awareness of natural alternatives to traditional antiperspirants
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effectiveness of natural deodorants compared to traditional antiperspirants
  • Explore the ingredient list of popular antiperspirants to identify residue-free options
  • Investigate the impact of application techniques on antiperspirant effectiveness
  • Learn about the health implications of using Aluminum-based antiperspirants
USEFUL FOR

Individuals seeking effective antiperspirant solutions, particularly those concerned about clothing stains and health implications of traditional products. This discussion is beneficial for consumers, personal care product developers, and anyone interested in personal hygiene alternatives.

Does anyone know any good brands of antiperspirant which work well, but don't leave white marks on shirts? My wife is getting tired of scrubbing the armpits every time she washes them.

Look for brands which claim that they are invisible and don't leave white marks. It's trial and error, I have found that for me, Dove works the best.
 
You also could consider wearing white shirts... :smile:

Aluminum chorohydrate along with some waxes = most of the white gook

So, find a spray-on or a roll-on, not a waxy stick, one that does not have Aluminum chlorohydrate on the label.
 
Maybe you could try deodorants, instead.

Anitperspirant vs deodorant

Or take the attitude one of my junior high gym teachers used to take: "A man shouldn't shower - it washes away his natural odor."
 
If there is a lot of residue, you could be applying too much, and I agree with changing from a stick (which I use, but I do my own laundry)
 
I use axe or red zone, and neither leave me with white marks... though I don't really sweat, come to think of it.

be careful with axe though; it can leave nasty bruises, what with the herds of women that are going to be throwing themselves all over you :rolleyes:.
 
Sound to me like you need a new detergent/washing machine.

Try persil.
 
Start fishing. Then it's always the fish that stinks.

Are your pheromone producing glands excised or something?

I love the Dilbert:
He clobbers himelf with pheromone spray. A woman is greatly atracted and siumltaneously conflicted by his presence. In the last panel she explodes.

My only use for pheromones is to mix 'em into an old clorox bottle that is half-full of soapy water. Attracts flies and they drown with a smile. Sometimes I think Axe must be made of the same stuff.

It's all natural, but isn't a antiperspirant; you will still sweat, just without the stink. I believe it's better for your body in the long run.

This is funny. My wife uses that expression a lot. It might be because she grew up in Niagara Falls Canada.

I can't stand the thought of plugging up my pores with goop. I use a deoderant rather than an antiperspirant.
