“Do I Stink?!” A fresh post about deodorant.

Have you heard that after using the same deodorant for a few months it stops working? It’s true. Totally happened to me. I used to use Secret Clinical Strength in Marathon Fresh scent with no problem. Then, out of no where, it stopped working. After a few days of smelling like a barn, I decided to try a new deodorant. This time Dove Clinical Strength (“clinical strength” as in I should go to a clinic about this). No go.

Over the next few weeks, I would try 4 more deodorants/antiperspirants such as Secret Smooth Effects (crap), Mitchum Smart Solid (joke), Arrid XX Extra Dry (woomp woomp), and even went the all natural route with Tom’s Long Lasting. Not only did the Tom’s not work, but I smelled like Pease Park on Eeyore’s Birthday (Hippie stank for those of you not from ATX).

After finally sharing my woes with my roommate (fellow CrossFitter and reformed stinky chick), she suggested I try SpeedStick Stain Guard in Fresh scent. She said she discovered it when she had to borrow it from her boyfriend. Worked like a charm.

I immediately went out and bought it and haven’t looked back. It even withstood the deathly stank of a spray tan and a WOD! Hard to believe, but true. I still came home and immediately showered, but it was nice to know that my body odor wasn’t offending my classmates or my coach…or more importantly, my own nose! :)

I highly recommend it! Strong enough for a man… or CrossFitting chick.
