Non-Staining Deoderants
Hi all. I’ve been having some issues with deodorants staining the underarms of shirts. Looking to try some different options and would appreciate any recommendations! I’m UK based and ideally the deodorant would be minimally scented and easily available and under £7.50. Open to roll on, bar and sprays. Thanks!

Worth noting, not looking for anti-perspirants
nivea do an aluminium free deoderant that is available in most boots (it's clearly stated on the label). You might need to check the womens section.
fab, thank you. i’ll have a look
Sure Whole Body is aluminium free too but I think it's quite scented.
my partner uses a mitchum stick that's 0% aluminium but I think it might be above budget
Have you tried gel deodorant?
using a nivea roll on too, no smell no stains it's great
i can’t say i have, no
In case you ever raise your budget: have great luck with this, only thing that works and doesn’t make me break out https://www.malinandgoetz.co.uk/eucalyptus-deodorant-2-6oz-e73g
one stick lasts quite a long time even with daily use
eucalyptus deodorant.
Shop MALIN+GOETZ's eucalyptus deodorant formulated with antiseptic eucalyptus extract and citronellyl to keep odor at bay.
i had terrible problems with this and found the best way is to do anti perspirant before bed and then aluminum free in the morning
because yeah antiperspirant stains but i personally need it
gel deodorant ime still stains sadly but i’ve only used gillette. what i do is use the unscented certain-dri before bed, and then use glossier deodorant in the morning. the certain-dri is more important. you can really use any aluminum free option in the morning

sorry for the deodorant rant. i spent way too much time trying stuff out
what kind of stains are they? I used to think my deoderant was staining my clothes but turns out it was the wax/whatever waxy material in it sticking to my clothes and it comes out really easy if you gently buff it with a sock or pantyhose or other nylon-y material
but that's really only if it's from contact of clothing to deoderant vs. it staining through the fabric (idk how to phrase it)
they’re almost like a rust colour i suppose exclusively in point of contact from armpits. i used my partners deodorant for a week or two and it only seemed to happen then so chalked it down to that. i’ll try buffing with a sock though cheers
I’ve used old spice pure sport for over a decade at this point. Aluminum free, fairly inoffensive scent and performance has always been great
Never had any stains on white tee shirts either
This stuff is extremely effective you won't sweat for fucking days.
however, it gave me bad rashes
even after i gave myself a week to get used to it i couldn't sleep
I'd suggest applying Mitchum unscented roll-on the night before you go to bed
less aggravating but pretty effective aluminum active ingredient
i agree it can irritate the skin if but only if i overapply
Lol maybe i overapplied
everyone’s skin reacts different but i’m not surprised it irritates skin
you’re technically only supposed to do a single pass with it
Oh
Dude I rub that shit around for days
but sometimes i can’t tell if the roller worked and accidentally overapply. then its irritated for like 15 min
yea aluminum chloride particularly is known for it im pretty sure
yep
yeah i do 2 passes right before bed at most
Oh my no wonder I got irritatede
when i bought my first certain dri i absolutely smothered myself
and maybe a single pass + alu free in the morning
Why reapply deo in the morning if u have a strong ass night time deo?
i might try the mitchum next but i bought a ton of the certain dri stuff
just cause idk
i’m sweaty
ah ive always been not sweaty
at the very least i use the aluminum free deodorant in the morning just bc i like the scent and its good in case i sweat a tiny bit
idk if i could just solo certain dri at night
I switched to spray on deodorant and it seems to help with staining
this one is my fave but also kinda a billion dollars https://humblebrands.com/products/palo-santo-frankincense-natural-deodorant?srsltid=AfmBOoqPaSAILZnhSDh6DMyOBrouspsNobZKdn2FeY-hGitJTzbffzir smells so nice and works well while not being antiperspirant somehow
