Men's Deodorant Ads: What the Hell?

Yup.

The truth is, the wife buys those products at my house. No amount of advertising is going to change the deoderant we use away from Dove. Girly? I suppose, but it's unscented. Does it work? I've tried tons of "manly" deoderant anti-perspirants (which are two separate things, you know) and nothing beats Dove. All these the other brands leave me with sopping pits, or, I find that the manly deoderant/anti-perspirants just smell like sweeter B.O. (Brut, anyone?).

So there you have it, manly men. Dove is the answer.

Man, even stodgy ol' Mitchum is getting into the act. What the hell, really?

Dove is looking better and better.

If the only French you know is menage a trois?

Now I know what really stinks: Mitchum's odeur de fromage.

I've used alot of different deodarants. I started back in middle school with Axe when i didnt really have much hair under my armpits. Everyone around me seemed to enjoy the scent my body had even after I was done with gym class. Once I grew more hair under my armipits I changed from axe to old spice. My sister bought me the stick because she thought it smelled good, and it did. I think clear deodorants are stonger on the skin because after a month of usage i got a rash under my armpits so i stopped using them. Now im using Speed Stick 24/7 and im satisfied with the results. I think a good combination of deodorant and Cologne is enough to have you smelling good all day.

Who honestly has time to argue about deodorant???

We do, but it's not really an argument.

I was thrilled to find my favorite scent of Secret yesterday at Giant...Shower Fresh. Oh how I had missed it.

I am not a guy for those who don't know me. I just didn't want to be left out.

You misunderstood the commercial. They guys are watching the game while the women sit in the kitchen looking bored and annoyed. The guys start cheering after a touchdown and hug the girlfriend in happiness. The woman instantly forgets about how annoyed they were and goes into a dream land of picnics and flowers.

I couldn't agree more. That's about all I have to say. I think most of their ads are, especially degree, are basically up and saying "If you don't use our deodorant, than you aren't a real man 'cause us guys take risks." Or AXE, saying that girls will suddenly like you, or basically, "You can get girls with AXE, and if you don't want AXE you don't want girls, and if you don't want girls you're gay!" I'm sorry, but that isn't true and trying to make people who DON'T use AXE seem gay just isn't very user-friendly. Bad marketing.

FROM: Yeah, no

I've been using Mitchum (Mountain Air clear gel) for the last two years, and it works/smells great. Problem: I'm thinking about changing deodorants because I've started to notice that after awhile the pits of my t-shirts become crusty and white b/c of the deodorant. What's up with that? Any suggestions for deodorants that don't do that?

I have been getting sweat marks what's the best deodorant??

The best overall deoderant ive used was adidas active (i prefer dynamic pulse) but they recently quit making that, and changed over to a deoderant called 24 hour protection or somethin. they brag about some technology called cotton tech, and honestly, the stuff is pure crap. all it does it make your BO mix with the smell, which in the end is almost worse than strait BO. i was wondering what deoderant does the best job to neutrolize BO. Thanks

I want to know...where is it said that spraying Axe all over yourself is an acceptable substitute for a bath? And the last time a bunch of girls chased me was in third grade when I stole their dodge ball at recess.

Here's another...remember those Five Day Deodorant Pads? How many of you out there actually thought you had to wear them?

And here's another...the Mitchum ads...."so strong you can even skip a day" Now how's that for quality personal hygeine?

I know girls who liked axe so much they would steal it from guys and use it. One girl actually attacked me with it.

There is no question SURE original solid, scentless is best for men OR women. The main thing is it keeps you dry...but very close behind that is the fact it does not drip and is not STICKY. And it lasts and lasts.

Try SURE original solid one time and you will never leave it.
