@flannel-slut I’ve been using Native deodorant for a while and been pleased with the effectiveness. Haven’t noticed any pit stains either Good luck in the search

@flannel-slut the natural deodorants work pretty well for me. I consider myself to be of a Mediterranean stink as well. The trick I’ve found is to never buy the same one twice in a row. If you use the same thing for too long you can build an immunity. The Malian+Goetz works well for me and I really love the Corpus scents. My go to pomade brand, Shear Revival makes a good one. Dove for Men makes a nice aluminum free deodorant. I’ve stayed away from brands like Native due to the high coconut oil content and fear of pit stains.

[SKT]

@Matt is the coconut oil responsible for pit stains or is it bad for another reason? Always ready to learn something new here

[Matt]

It’s my understanding that the oil can stain pits. I regularly google “Beat Deodorants” to see what’s on the lists from various online sources. The ones with coconut oil always list that as a “con.” When you where $100 T-shirt’s you tend to take fewer risks.

@Matt “beet deodorants” would have hit harder…but sounds disgusting .

[Matt]

Best. Sorry.

[Matt]

Sometimes I feel like just letting auto correct go without correcting it. Mad gibberish.

[flannel slut]

Good stuff @Matt @SKT. This forum has been a go to for a lot more than just awesome denim

[flannel slut]

Also beet deodorant might be what I need to combat the humidity. pink pit stains would be pretty wild.

@Matt I’m down with this…you should see some of the nonsense I text my wife that she somehow understands. (Also, I might have a theory that “they” are making it harder for us to communicate by sabotaging autocorrect and phone keyboards, slowly driving us all mad and making it easier for the AI overlords to take over…again just a theory and I’m probably wrong).

@SKT The mere discussion of our AI overlords is implicitly forbidden on the forum and you will be contacted by security shortly for reeducation. Please do not resist nor make a scene.

Thank you for assistance in these matters.

[goosehd]

...but now my mentioning of your mentioning of the AI overlords has put me in great peril and all of this could have been a ploy to test my allegiance. Dear God, what have I done...

[Matt]

The AI shouldn’t have much trouble taking over. Have you met people lately?

[Paul9221]

AI has requested that I bring the topic back to deodorant.

I've been using one that I found at Whole Foods, but appears to be available on Amazon: Pretty Frank. I'm keen on the charcoal seaside scent. No shirt stains yet, and I've been on it for 9 months. I still sweat (I've stopped using antiperspirant), but I don't stank. Highly recommend.

[flannel slut]

Nice @Paul9221 I’ll add it to the que. Should have seen it all along w that imoji but don’t think we’re not on to you, bringing us back on topic is a wicked AI move.

[Matt]

I don’t have any experience with oil based stains. I just prefer not to see for myself.

[Weft 4 Dead]

Stupid question: are you guys spraying, then putting on your tee? Or t-shirt on, shove-hand-inside, spray?

Honestly not noticing any stains on my stuff and I’m a basic-bitch Lynx/Axe guy.

[Matt]

I don’t use sprays. They’re usually aluminum based anti perspirants that stain the pits of white Ts. My experience is that the spray doesn’t last as long as a solid.

[Matt]

I apply deodorant before putting on the shirt. I turn up the bottom about half way before putting it in to avoid white marks on the outside of the shirt.
