Choosing the right “stick” for your man can be difficult. Deodorant or antiperspirant, white or clear, musk or spice — the selections are endless. But don’t worry — we have you covered. After testing them out ourselves, we determined the best products for eliminating odor that will leave your man smelling fresher than ever.
But first, we’re deciphering the different types of pit protection.
Antiperspirant vs. Deodorant
Did you know there’s a difference between a deodorant and an antiperspirant? It’s true. A deodorant kills bacteria and helps neutralize odor caused by sweat. But deodorant doesn’t keep a person from sweating. Antiperspirant, on the other hand, does. These products absorb into the skin and plug sweat ducts, keeping a person dry.
Now that we understand the different types of pit protection, it’s time to talk about the best products. Drum roll, please.
Crystal Rock
All-natural product — check. Prevents odor and wetness — check, check. It’s safe to say that Crystal Rock is the perfect pit product for any man. Made with salt and without harsh chemicals, Crystal Rock is gentle on the skin. Sold both online and in stores, this hypoallergenic product comes in four different scents. But it wasn’t the scent that put it on our list — it was the product’s ability to neutralize bacteria and prevent body odor — even after a workout — that put it on top.
Speed Stick Stainguard
It’s tough enough worrying about getting sweat stains on your favorite shirt without worrying about getting white marks on it too. As annoying as those little marks are, they are preventable with the right product. By using a scientific formula, Speed Stick Stainguard is able to prevent those annoying white.
