I used dove since it came out and then it stopped working, I got some of the Arm & Hammer baking soda stuff (it's bright yellow can't miss it) and that works pretty well and Suave, anything was working better than the Dove. Did they change the formula??? I think it’s adove thing.

Nearly everyone sweats. I'm always afraid people will think I have no personal hygiene because I'm always sweaty, but I shower as much as the next person. I wish we could just not care. Ditto on the leg-shaving. I’m a sweaty freak too, and I hate it, but I also hate it that it is socially unacceptable to be sweaty. Nearly everyone sweats.

Then again, my opinion may not be worth much, since I also use Dove, and I don't really sweat much. Secret, unscented, clear, un-everythinged.

I LOVED Dove and used it religiously. Until this past August. I began stinking and my armpits were wet, which I never struggled with. I switched to Secret Platinum, and it has been WONDERFUL! Now you can sort through all the comments and let US know what works! That’s so weird to hear this happens to others! I LOVED Dove and used it religiously. Until this past August.

It's actually a deodorant, as opposed to an anti-perspirant, which all of the others mentioned above are. Ladies, just be careful using anti-perspirants. Our bodies were made to sweat a little and (embarassing as it may be) they must do so to maintain an appropriate temperature. Also, the chemical in anti-perspirants aluminum chloride has been linked to breast cancer and cancer in the lymph nodes. This is especially a toxic threat if you're using anti-perspirants like Certain Dri. I too have over-active sweat glands. My sister and I were both prescribed Certain Dri, but with a family history of breast cancer we eventually figured it wasn't worth the risk. I now only use natural deodorants, and on hot days try to wear colours that don't show sweat much. Other things like keeping out of direct sun (better for you anyways) espeically at peak times, and staying hydrated can really help as well. Good luck and stay healthy!

I stunk SO BAD and I normally don't even sweat. I actually switched TO dove during this from (yes, really i'm 28, and have outgrown it, but love the smell) teen spirit. hahaha. I'm with liz, spent the money on the pregnancy test instead of 5 different kinds of deodorant. I had the same problem when I found out I was pregnant. I stunk SO BAD and I normally don’t even sweat.

The current version of it that I'm using is: Degree Women, Ultra Clear, Pure Silver w/TriClear (it's a solid but goes on clear) What the heck is TriClear? I dunno, man. But the thingie says it's 100% little black dress approved, so if I EVER have the occasion to wear one again, that's nice, right? And the ingredients say it has sunflower seed oil in it... no wonder I've been feeling as bright as a summer day! Ok, that last bit made me puke, even though I'm the one that wrote it. Good luck!

If I had known about this product during puberty, it would have honestly changed my life. I have my 13yo daughter using it now, and it has given her SO much comfort and confidence. And now that we've just moved from Oregon to Texas, I can see that Certain Dri will be an absolute *necessity*! Certain Dri…it’s a miracle.
