Deodorant or Antiperspirant?

Moto, I completely concur with the natural versus over-done perfume!
A perfume or cologne should be viewed as "intimate apparel". If someone can determine what brand you are wearing from an arm's length away, you are wearing too much!
I use antiperspirant. Only because my mother always told me "why just cover it up when you can stop it?"
I don't think too much about it, I guess. I'm using Speed Stick at the moment, but it is an antiperspirant/deodorant combo.

My husband is the same way as you, Motokid. He absolutely hates to wear antiperspirant. He says it doesn't come off in the shower and he feels like he has an inch of it on his underarms.
As a woman, my preference is something strong but effective. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to Secret deodorant, so I look for alternatives. Right now I'm wearing Ban roll-on, and I like it.

antiperspirant? *snicker* I've yet to find one that actually prevents sweating. The best I can hope for is a deodorant that works.

Mitchum works, at least for my mother. She had bad sweat issues, and she says Mitchum fixes it. (She used to make me go in an buy it for her because she was embarrassed!)

Not much reply on the underarm shaving part....my assumption is that every female pretty much does this as a habit now. yes....no....maybe....
And, was I correct in thinking this was mainly an American thing at first, and it has spread across the globe? Or did it start somewhere else. I distinctly remember as a kid hearing jokes about European women not shaving.

Will the shaving of the underarm not have something to do with your personal beliefs though? I can only speak of my experience at school but the majority of people who came from certain ethnic communities neither shaved nor wore deodorant. It became such a problem that the school actually insisted on them either bringing in deodorant (after PE lessons) or alternatively taking a shower. They also moved the sports lessons to periods where there was a long break afterwards (so either just before lunch, or the last period of the day).
