We’ve all been there: just minding our own business when suddenly we get a whiff of something bad, and the stomach-sinking thought hits us – it’s me. Whether you forgot to swipe on your deodorant that morning before running out the door or your current natural deodorant just isn’t working for you, it’s a problem you want to solve ASAP.
Luckily, there are plenty of formulas on the market, from ball deodorants to gel deodorants, to help solve your BO woes. Natural or antiperspirant, wipes or refillable, scented or not – you have options. The trickiest part is just finding which formula is right for you, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Antiperspirants vs. Deodorants
While some people prefer natural or organic deodorants that help neutralize odor with ingredients like baking soda and AHAs, others prefer sweat-blocking products that are gentle yet effective at keeping them dry. Then you have ample scent options: vanilla, coconut, rose, cashmere, cucumber, lavender, and so on.

Whether you live in a hot and humid climate, take daily cycling classes, or are just sweatier than you’d like to be, you can rely on these deodorants to keep you feeling – and, most importantly, smelling – fresh all day.
