My preference is stick type antiperspirants. I'm currently using Lab Series Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick. It's unscented so it does not interfere with any cologne i'm wearing and doesn't stain my clothes. Downside is the price...75ml costs me RM75.

There should be a expiration date for these kind of products, usually. I think 24 months after first time of use is the appropriate period. There is a indication on the packaging sometimes. But how long it can last depends on how you store it too.

The bottle itself is part of the packaging.

I do have a can of Nivea Sport Antiperspirant Spray. There is no indication of an expiration period. I still stick by the 24 month rule though.

LOL u have highlighted the mistake in his statement.
Actually I have heard about the relation between antiperspirants and cancer so I went about to do some quick research online.
Read through these articles if u have the time,

There are many more articles that dismiss the claims that antiperspirants cause cancer.

The cancer in this case was breast cancer and that women who shave their armpits and apply antiperspirants after that had a risk of developing breast cancer as the so called chemicals got absorbed into the body.

I have no fears about using antiperspirants.

Antiperspirants are my friends

Depends on whether its a body spray, deodorant spray or antiperspirant deodorant spray. No probs with using a body spray all over the body. But i'm hesitant with using deodorant sprays on other parts of the body. Antiperspirant sprays are a definite no-no to use on other parts of the body. I guess best way is to read the product labels before using.

I use Lab Series Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick. Priced at RM75 it may be considered too much by most to spend on a deodorant stick but I have been using for 6 months now and it works and gives me at least 12 hours of protection. Plus it's unscented so it won't clash with the cologne i am wearing.

I don't use mine everyday as I have a few cologne matching deodorant sticks. I also use a small amount when I apply Lab Series. I think if u use it everyday, it should last u 4-6 months depending on how much u use. It's fragrance free but it still has a slight scent because of the tea tree oil used as an active ingredient. But no worries as the scent will not permeate and will go undetected, unless someone puts his/her nose directly on your armpits LOL.

U can get it at any Lab Series counter. Almost all department stores have a Lab Series counter.

I forgot to mention, to anyone interested in the Lab Series Antiperspirant stick...it flakes a little sometimes (if u apply a lot) and gets onto your clothes when u take the t shirt off. But through experience, these white stains on clothes wash out quite easily with no damage to the item of clothing.

IMHO Lab Series is good for me but it could be different for you. Only way to know is by trial and error.

I have not worn Lab Series before when i play sports. Normally i'll just spray on some deodorant after i change out of my sport clothing before going to mamak.

I guess we all sweat different amounts haha.

My chest and back are the places that sweat the most. Armpits much lesser haha.

U got ask for samples or not when u bought de Lab Series stick ?

Lab Series doesn't have roll on only in stick form.

The stick retails for RM75 at the counters but I think u can get it 5%-10% cheaper at FORHIM William Martins. But u need to become a member which costs RM12 for 2 years. I am a member but my Lab Series stick was not bought there...I got it from counter.

My Lab Series Stick rubs off all the time on my clothes. I think that cannot be avoided no matter what brand of deo used. However, even though it gets on my clothes, there has been no prob washing it off.

Lab Series stick doesn't rub off easily and I am not too happy with that because even when I apply a little bit, I need to use a lot of soap to wash it off. Even then there still is a very thin layer on the skin remaining.

Almost all major department stores have a Lab Series counter. Make sure u ask for a few samples if u do buy.

Like I said almost all major department stores (yes that includes Isetan, Parkson, Jusco and MJ) has a Lab Series counter. Usually located next to Sean John, Aramis, DKNY and Tommy Hilfiger fragrance counters.

I'm currently using Lab Series for Men Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick. It's unscented so it won't interfere with the cologne i have on. Retails for RM75 for 75ml. It's very pricey but effective and better than the cheaper pharmacy brands I have used. It does flake off and leaves white marks on dark clothing but washes off very easily and does not leave a stain.
