Deodorant (not sure if attire is right category)

Grace, on February 3, 2019 at 11:52 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 10
So, I've found articles that list 5 "bride approved" deodorants for the big day...which also then have an ad for the products. Not sure they're great sources for my question.
What was the best deodorant option that you used on your big day? I know with doing most everything myself that I will be insanely busy, and having anxiety on the daily means I'll probably be stressed. ANY suggestions or push in a direction would be greatly appreciated!

    I use Old Spice (yes the mens one!) and it's always amazing for me!

    I always had good luck with the clinical degree one as well

    This is a great question because Lord knows come my June wedding day, a good deodorant is going to be a high priority.

    Use what you typically use, if it gets the job done. If you need to make a change because what you are currently using isn't working to your liking, start trying different things. People's body chemistry varies too much for there to be an appropriate choice just because someone is wearing a big white dress.

    With that said, and fwiw, I recently tried Native (now available at Target). The odor control was really good, but it turned my arm pits yellow. I'll be saving it for when I'm going to be hiking all day, or other very sweaty days.

    I use Arm & Hammer deodorant on the daily and it works really well for me. I'll use the same for the wedding. I've tried natural deodorants and while they are good at keeping me dry the odor control is basically non existent. If you are thinking of making a switch definitely try it out before the wedding.

    I love Dove's original. It's the only one my skin seems to like.

    The body chemistry point is a great one because I tried the Native and woweee it does NOT do the trick for me haha.

    And I also agree to just use your normal deodorant. I think the safest best is sticking to something you have a consistent history with. THAT said, I did absolutely need to reapply mid-reception! So I’ll also say the brand is less important than availability— no matter what you choose, be sure to keep some on hand just in case!

    I agree with the others that you should stick with what works for you. Also if you want to use natural deodorant then that might not be the best option if you don't want to sweat because the natural ones don't have antiperspirant in them. I personally have gone through 8 different natural deodorants trying to find the right one for me and the baking soda free Meow Meow Tweet is the one. It totally depends on you though and I think it's really hard to go off of reviews since everyone is different. I switched to natural deodorant over a year ago but it's been a struggle to find the right one for me. That being said, I may use a regular antiperspirant on my wedding day just because I know I'll be nervous and sweating and don't want to have to reapply constantly throughout the day. If you don't have a fave deodorant then maybe buy a few, if you can, to test them out before the big day.

    Thank you everyone! I am going to try a few ones out before settling on one. I use a natural on a normal day, but think I'll try something else that's worked for me in the past on the big day! Thank y'all!!

    I'm not sure how intense of an antiperspirant you need but I know that the typical deodorants just don't cut it for me. I use Certain Dri antiperspirant and it's a complete god send for me. I actually apply it at night, I know you mentioned something along those lines and it's a perfect amount of time for it to set in and do its job. For me it lasts about 2 days too, which is great (and cost effective). For me, I don't feel the need to smell like a lavender field or cucumbers so the odorless route is perfect for me too!
