I just wish I could find one that kept me dry and stink free all day but didn't ruin the pits of my clothing. Mitchum gel is ok but still seems to leave residue

I just wish I could find one that kept me dry and stink free all day but didn't ruin the pits of my clothing. Mitchum gel is ok but still seems to leave residue. And natural ones still make you smell like BO despite what some claim.
- JohnBooty 3y agobut didn't ruin the pits of my clothing. Plagued me for years, but totally solvable. My wife and are active and sweat a lot here in the tropical summers of NE USA. I am the clothes washer. I have lots of experience fixing this. You can fix that by presoaking your clothes in hot water and a teeny amount detergent (and/or Borax and/or Arm & Hammer laundry booster aka "laundry stripping") for a few hours. Can also try scrubbing some detergent directly into the pits before tossing into the wash. I've heard vinegar works too. Just don't mix vinegar and bleach.
- mrguyorama 3y agoA soak of a strong "Oxyclean" solution will 100% remove pit stains, even when you wear way too much deodorant like me
- JohnBooty 3y agoThanks for the tip!
- callalex 3y agoTry crystal style deodorants. The actual physical crystals that require wetting and 20+ seconds of application, not any of the useless derivative sprays or roll-ons or whatever that just add plastic waste and reduce effectiveness.
