Anyone know any deodrants that ACTUALLY WORK!

I'm not a fat stinky ape, but I work in an office which gets warm with the rads on, and no matter which barnd of deodrant I use, I've got sweat patches by 9.00am!

Anyone use anything that actually works?

Botox injected into your pits if you're sweating by 9.

Your problem is you are applying 'deodrants' when you should be applying anti-perspirants.

Sure used to do one that wasn't a roll on, but the same sort of sized bottle, and it was a cream. You used to click a button which pushed the cream out of the top of the bottle and then apply it in a roll on fashion (if that makes any sense!).I used to use it all the time and it was great, although I can't seem to find anywhere that still sells it.

If you got the full "Elvis" its called Hyper-hydrosis. Try Dricol stuff, Botx in the pits or they can operate on your nerves, nasty op but works on the effected areas. Unfortunately it doesn't stop the amount you sweat, just where it comes out. So you get compensatory sweating, usually in the arse or back, which is just as bad really.

Woah! It's not that bad - I don't sweat a lot generally, even when playing rugby. Just at work, with arms by my sides, sweat just gets on my shirts and is obviously noticable.....

Slightly OT, but can anyone recommend a anti antiperspirant that won't leave marks on your shirt?
They were everywhere a while back, but now they have gone.
