Need a better deoderant now...



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

So I don't know if this happens to everyone, but I need a better deoderant. Armpit odor has changes, but Mitchem (sp) cause breakouts, so I can't use that. Any suggestions for a GOOD womans underarm deoderant?

Yes, this has been since surgery. I noticed I only last about 1/2 a day before I start smelling like a man. The smell has changed (not for the better) and is much stronger than ever before. I hate it. I currently use degree for woman, and have tried the secret platnum. They are about the same- 1/2 a day protection

I started using the clinical strength brands that are now available to everyone over the counter. You could give it a try, it certainly can't hurt.

I have the same problem so I carry my deoderant and washcloth with me. I blame it on the increased Protein intake. I started with Secret, tried several others to no avail and stuck with Degree. Days I eat more carbs I don't notice the problem as much. I am dreading the coming of summer.

Thanks for the input- I will try the clinical strength. Before it made me break out, but I will try it again. Maybe it will be different this time.

I personally think Degree, in any flavor, is the best deoderant ever. I've used others thinking I'll try them because they are on sale, but I always end up giving it to my daughter and going to get some Degree. It just works.

I definitely noticed a difference after surgery too. I tried the Mitchum clinical strength and it burned the bejeebers out of my skin. I then tried the Secret clinical strength and I love it. It doesn't irritate or cause break outs for me at all, and I've used it right after shaving. I did notice it rubs off white onto my clothes if I don't let it dry completely, but I guess I was just spoiled to the kind I used before that didn't do that. It's fine as long as I wait a minute to get dressed.

Try Almay, it's a gel but I found it works really good for me cause I would always breakout with everything else. been using it for years now and I have no problem with it, funny isn't it how our bodies change after a surgery, ecspecially such a great surgery.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
