It’s also usually blocking your pores with aluminum or titanium in some form, which seems like a shitty idea.
Your body adapts to the anti-perspiration fuckery. If you switch to a regular deodorant, it’s going to get bad before it gets better. Sort of like chapstick messing with your lips ability to produce moisture, but in reverse I guess.
Arm and hammer natural deodorant is my go-to now. I’m older though…not sure how it would handle the funk of youth… >

Are you unaware that not all deodorants are antiperspirant? You have to get ones that say they are. 
Also, the issue cause your body is used to the chemicals in the deodorant you usually use it’ll take a while to get used to something different. 
I like gel deodorant cause it doesn’t have aluminum usually >

IT FEELS LIKE YOURE PUTTING SWEAT ON YOUR PITS >

agree, gel sucks. 
driest pits: normal deodorant 
moderately wet pits: no deodorant 
wettest pits: gel deodorant. >

A lube that causes friction? That's a new oxymoron >

Just like Gel Deodorant! >

As a dude, I honestly think womens secret is one of the best deodorants for how it works and feels; could use a better scent but at least it's basically just smells kind of like baby powder so it's not that bad. >

I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum. I'm female and much prefer men's deodorant. For me, it works so much better, and I can't stand the baby powder scent of women's stuff. >

Old Spice has the beat gender neutral scents. >

As someone with hyperhidrosis and who likes all things gel, I agree
Maybe it's just my personal experience but no gel has worked the same way that regular bar antiperspirant or aerosol has. If anything it makes it worse because it leaves those annoying white marks on your shirt and for it to be even slightly effective you need it to dry completely before putting on a shirt >

YES!! >

Anything labeled antiperspirant is a scam. It blocks your pores and makes you sweat out of other nearby pores way more so you think you sweat a lot and then you buy more antiperspirant. I've sweat before, but the first time I put on antiperspirant was the first time I felt actual beads of sweat coming from my armpits when I wasn't even doing anything active.
