Sometimes you’re walking along, wondering if 10 a.m. is too early for an ice-cream cone (it’s not) when you get smacked in the face by a malodorous funk. What in the heck is that awful smell? Then with growing horror you realize it’s you.
We know odor happens — it’s just how our bodies work. But picking a great deodorant can go a long way toward making that stink a little less, well, stinky.
We like Secret Outlast Extend Clean Lavender Invisible Solid ($4) because it’s both an antiperspirant and a deodorant that covers up any underarm smells with a refreshingly herbal lavender aroma.
More of a natural deodorant kind of girl? Check out Meow Meow Tweet’s Underarm Primer, a lightweight lotion that you apply underneath your deodorant to give it a little extra staying power. It’s also great as a transition aid if you’re making the switch to natural.
If you do fall victim to eau de armpit, there is a fast, simple remedy. The Ban Total Refresh Restore Cooling Body Cloths is a portable packet of wipes that are like a deeply satisfying mini shower. Pop them in your purse and whip one out when that sweat starts to trickle down your side.
