Real Simple magazine just did a "road test" of deodorants and here is what they say:
best solid- Secret Clinical Strength
best roll on- Mitchum for Women Dry Roll On
best gel/cream- Dry Idea Clear Gel
I use the regular Secret but I think I'm going to try the Clinical Strength. It's so freaking hot right now I need all the help I can get. I wish I was brave enough to get my underarms Botoxed- that's supposed to work like magic.
Nothing worked for me at all so I got Botox and now am completely dry even in the hottest temps. There is nothing to be afraid of (aside from the cost); you barely even feel the needle it is so fine.
I had tried CertainDri and Drysol and, while both worked to some extent, the irritation was horrendous and I could not stand it and neither kept me completely dry anyway.
So, I was at the Dermatologist for another reason and came across a pamphlet on hyperhydrosis and Botox as a treatment. He and I spoke of it quickly and I had my injections right then.
It is very pricey at approximately $900 and then $150 for the Dr's fee. I live in Canada though so pricing in the US is, I'm sure, different. I'm lucky though as my benefit plan through work covers all but the Dr's fee.
How long it will last varies per person but it should last anywhere between 4 and 8 months.
Even if it was not covered by my health care benefits, I would still get it as it is well worth it.
I wish the US had a good health care system like Canada.
I haven't found one yet. I don't sweat that much so I don't really need anything strong. My problem is I can't find anything that doesn't leave stains and still protects "just in case".
