    Antiperspirant/Deodorant that doesn't stain shirts

    So I've always always used Antiperspirants+Deodorant sticks, and for a short period sprays, but nothing I've used hasn't caused me some type of problem.

    I'm not a huge sweat-er, but I have had some white work undershirts ruined with yellow pit stains after a year or two of use - but they were used past their lifespan anyway. I've also had darker shirts have their pits turned white or discolored from products. This is my main concern now.

    What do you guys use or recommend? I see a lot of people saying to get Deodorant only, non-antiperspirants because they contain aluminum and ruin shirts the most, but that the yellow stains are probably from sweat and to use organic products like Weleda.

    I know yellowing is a problem many people deal with which is why I brought it up, but my problem is mostly white or discoloration to darker shirts now. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw yellowing, but even products that "go on clear" can still leave white inside shirts. Any suggestions? I'd be willing to shave/trim armpits if it helps.

    Products I've used most recently:
    Degree - the adrenaline triggered stuff or whatever its called.
    Dove for men
    Old Spice "Fiji" from their new fresh collection. Made this thread because of it.

    arm & hammer stick. doesn't have a scent of its own, really, but works well and while it occasionally leaves some residue on shirts, it's never stained/discolored them. also cheap.

    I used to have that problem with gels (like Right Guard gel) but nothing else I use causes stains. I've been using Old Spice High Endurance deodorant sticks for like a year now (cheap and they last a while) and have yet to have a pit stained shirt from it. The only real tip I can give is to make sure whatever you use dries before putting your shirt on.

    I actually use secret "clear dry" or whatever, discovered once when I ran out that my girlfriend's worked way better for me than any of the men's ones I had tried up to that point.

    It's possible to get a bit of it on your shirt when putting it on, but I've not had any stain issues with it at all.

    Old spice pure sport "high endurance" is nice. Stuff lasts and doesn't get messy.

    old spice works wonders for me. never had any discoloration, been using their deodorant since high school. I like the new fiji stuff, had a good smell to it

    I've been using old spice products for 20+ years. Never get stains, but always get Bitches.

    definitely use unscented, I've hated any and all scented deodorant since I first started using deodorant


    and last I checked, old spice was the one company that literally did not make an unscented deodorant

    I use Old Spice sweat Defense and that shit lasts long and doesn't stain my mostly dark wardrobe. I think we have a consensus.

    Old Spice High Endurance Clear Gel Antiperspirant fixed everything for me but it's hard as fuck to find in smaller stores for some reason.

    Obligatory:

    My only issue with P&G gel deodorants is that retarded grid applicator and screw, they're shit. (I don't use dry sticks, for me they seem to pick up odors and become useless after a few runs.)
    I was using Mitchum, but it's stained ever since they changed the formula. The applicator and screw were quality though.
    My shirt refresh is coming up soon so I changed brands, currently using a Gillette Cool Wave Clear Gel. I wouldn't recommend it, it says fast drying, but it's bullshit. I'll switch to Old Spice when it runs out. (They also didn't have it at my store, but if push comes to shove I'll get some off Amazon.)

    If you find a gel (or anything) that uses "Aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly", (which the Old Spice gels have) you shouldn't get stains.

    Wow, so many old spice users! I've always used Axe since I was in Thailand. Was happy it was here too. Never had a problem with it. Have tried others when I tried to be cheap, or there was a sale.

    Can use the Skin Deep database to cross-check brands and see if you can narrow down something that won't give you ball cancer.

    Degree Fresh series always works wonders, long lasting, smells amazing, doesn't fuck your shirts up. I go with Artic Edge usually, if I get a body spray it's usually old spice or Axe apollo but fuck that noise, I have quality cologne.

    Dont worry, I'm with you. Got Axe Phoenix on a trial once, and have been using it for probably 10 years+
    Doesnt stain, really doesnt smell unless your deep into my armpit, keeps me dry, and its cheap.

    This is all wrong. Try MenSciene or Malin + Goetz.

    Both are aluminum/alcohol free. I personally prefer MenScience bc its unscented and thus doesn't conflict with my cologne, but the Malin smells great too if scented is what you want.
