I always have bought guy deodorant (ever since I was old enough to need it) because it smelled better. It always worked well and kept me smelling good. Even if I did exercise a bit or if it was hot. This weekend I ended up staying at my gf's and I for got my old spice and had to use some of her (unopened) female deodorant. I did not do any movement exept for going to the grocery store and carrying some sort of heavy stuff for a block or two. I was feeling sweaty and sticky by the time I got home. I rarely ever sweat. Not even the most intense work out makes me break even so much as a teensy drop of sweat. Only when it gets really hot do I sweat. WTH is up with girl deodorant? Do they assume women don't exercise?

Don't know if this has already been brought up but majority of the products for guys and gals on the market is a combo of both anti-perspirant and deodorant. Anti perspirant blocks your pores when you sweat and deodorant simply covers up the smell of your underarms when you perspire. You are less likey to find just plain deodorant in stores than the combo as it as not as popular. Anti perspirant contains aluminum and as humans we really don't need more. I personally don't mind a little sweat on myself, it's supposed to come out, why block it? Besides sweat contains pheromones (chemical signals sent out to others for the purpose of social networking :P)
Anyway, I just use Old Spice 'Showtime' deodorant. Even during intense work outs it does just fine. Of course I do shower daily so to me and those who are in my space bubble that seems to be fine.
