I tried it when I was a teenager.
It didn't do much for me.
Now that I think about it, not much can mask the teenager funk.
Didn't do a thing for me, I think I ended up stanking worse than before.
Been using it for over a year and my wife has used it for about 8 months, no problems for either of us.crystal body deodorant I only wish I found it sooner than I did.
Alum works better for me than anything else I've used. It completely stops excess sweat, and thus, odor. Plus I or mine from a Chinese grocer for less than $1. BTW, you really should apply it as soon as you get out of the shower for it to work best.

And yet Axe is still in business.
+1 on using it while wet, right after the shower. It works by creating a thin antibacterial layer, so a) you need to use it before you begin perspiring again, and b) you need to use a lot of it - slow strokes and a lot of them. I'd been using it like other deos (a few quick strokes) and it didn't work until I slowed down and was more generous with it. YMMV, of course.
There's an explanation for that one. The more of that body spray and crap the kids put on, the further away people stay from them (because it's so nauseating when used in the amounts they use it). Therefore, no one get close enough to smell the skunks under their shirts!
