One of a few deodorants I like

This deodorant smells great, however I find that it goes on a little cakey. I always find myself getting little balls of deodorant in my armpits after using this, which aren't fun when you're wearing a sleeveless dress or a tank top in the spring or summer time. It's not too expensive, but it isn't all that cheap either. And I don't agree with the invisible solid claim either. Many deodorants claim to have an invisible solid formula, however the only deodorants that I think go on invisible are, well, the CLEAR ones, typically in the gel form. On the bright side, the formula is not very noticeable on clothes, but it definitely leaves behind a white residue that sometimes temporarily stains my clothes so that they look almost wet from sweat (when really, it's just the deodorant). I don't think that this product really glides on either, it's almost a litle rough sometimes. But it has always protected me from smelling!

fave deodorant

I've tried a couple different types of deodorants and brands but I always come back to this one. I HATE the gels. They feel cold going on, and I feel like they don't last the whole day. Plus I just don't feel as clean with the gels for some reason. I tried the hair minimizing ones which don't work- they don't minimize the hair growth, nor do they last all day long. I LOVE the powder. It last all day long and maintains the freshness feeling..even after a sweaty workout! It even seems to last after swimming in a pool and the ocean. This is/has been always my favorite brand. I don't know what they do to make the powder last so long, but it's pretty darn amazing. It's even at an afforable price, and you can purchase it at any grocery store or drugstore. Some of the scents are delicious smelling as well if you are feeling adventurous and want more than the original scent. This is definitely my top pick.

Secret too flaky for me

I've had several issues with this deodorant. For one, I don't go through deodorants that quickly, and this one started to show signs of aging before I was even half way done with it. It started to crumble and crack. Additionally, I wasn't satisfied with how it went on. It would go on smoothly but then clump immediately and stain my clothes. The smell would also deteriorate as you wear... it would be nice and subtle at first, but then I wouldn't be able to stand it after a little while. And, finally, I really didn't like how large the applicator was. Come on, who has armpits that wide! My favorite deodort ever is a tiny little Nivea one that has a small enough applicator to let you slip it under a t shirt sleeve for a quick touchup after running errands. Don't ever try doing it with this one, you'll stain everything AND you won't be able to cover the deep curve of your armpit with a huge applicator. There are better quality deals out there, I'm sure. Too bad Nivea deodorants are hard to find!

A great smelling and working deodorant!

I am not necessarily a brand loyal person.  I buy products when there is a good deal out, but I have been loyal to Secret deodorant ever since I needed to start using deodorant.  I especially love the scent of powder fresh.  Secret has changed their formula over the years, but I love the fact that it is an invisible solid.  When it is summer time and you are sleeveless, one of the most unattractive items that you can see is someone's deodorant underneath their armpits.  This deodorant also works!  I stay dry all day and I never have to worry that my antiperspirant/deodorant is going to stop working like I have had to worry about with other brands.  Secret is also reasonably priced.  It is available everywhere.  One of the dispensers of deodorant lasts for at least a month or two.  The packaging also works easily.  I have used other deodorants where you twist the dial on the bottom and the deodorant does not come out.  The deodorant is already sticking up out of the top and ready to use.

works well for the price

I have tried a variety of antiperspirants and deodorants and have found that Secret is the only one for me.  I have tried the roll-ons, the gels, the solids and even the sprays; but the invisible solid works the best.  Roll-ons and gels were too sticky, the solids leave a residue on your clothes (if you are unfortunate enough to have your clothes come into contact with it) and the sprays, well let us just say that there are not many sprays out there and for good reason, messy.  I had also tried various scents in the Secret line of invisible solids and found that the unscented was too bland and some of those fruity and sporty ones are way to strong.  I settled on powder fresh.  Lightly scented, fresh out of the shower smell.  I am a very busy midnight pediatric nurse and mother of five, ranging in age from 5 years to 21 years (and they all live at home) and have found that Secret lasts all day and night. I have never had a problem with late in the day body order or perspiration. I would highly recommend this deodorant/antiperspirant to any one who wants a perfect, all-around product.
