... Couple that with the oven's being switched on for most of the day, and the lack of air-conditioning, it can get pretty whiffy in the lab! Whilst I do have to put up with the smells of one individual on occasion, I certainly don't inflict my odours on anyone else!

Advantages: Good anti perspirant properties, pleasant aroma, stylish canister. Disadvantages: Tendency to stain shirts, but this is not singular to this brand for me.
...I've tried has been the Adidas range of spray antiperspirants - in particular the one for this category, and the current can on the go - from the Adidas Intensive stuff. This retails from around £1.35 at the great Discounter that is Wilkinsons. But expect to pay £2.00 plus at your supermarket, and the best part of £3.00 at the High Street chemists.
Adidas deodorants are produced under licence by Coty S.A, who are a French producer ... ...Why? Well because although this Adidas product keeps me dry under the pits for over 12 hours, I do have problems with sweat marks, especially on my cotton work-shirts. This is so annoying, and no amount of stain removing products will shift the ugly white debris.
This could potentially be embarrassing, but as I wear a white lab' coat throughout the day, any opportunity to flash my white armpits is dashed!
Everyone sweats, that something no one can deny! Whilst some people feel it's acceptable to skip some sort of antiperspirant protection, I have to disagree.
I do sweat quite a bit, and this isn't helped by the laboratory where I work in Milton Keynes - it's on a 2nd floor, gets any sun from early morning until Noon, then from 3 until the end of the day. Couple that with the oven's being switched on for most of the day, and the lack of air-conditioning, it can get pretty whiffy in the lab!

I'm always trying new deodorants, and up to now, the best I've tried has been the Adidas range of spray antiperspirants - in particular the one for this category, and the current can on the go - from the Adidas Intensive stuff.

Adidas deodorants are produced under licence by Coty S.A, who are a French producer of such grooming products. I shall not list all the ingredients within this product, suffice to say that the canister is propelled by butane, and the main constituents are aluminium chlorohydrate, and parfum, along with some other chemicals that mean nothing to me even!
Thanks to Philroots for his recent Gillette opinion, that is certainly something I'll be trying out next. Why? Well because although this Adidas product keeps me dry under the pits for over 12 hours, I do have problems with sweat marks, especially on my cotton work-shirts. This is so annoying, and no amount of stain removing products will shift the ugly white debris.

Still - that said I do not appreciate the continual destruction of my quality work shirts, and also my t-shirts and 'best' shirts too for that matter!!!
There, 'stain-rant' over!!! So whilst I do like this antiperspirant for its dryness qualities, I have to knock points off for its stain ability!!! If anyone has any good tips for removing antiperspirant stains from coloured shirts, then please do get in touch.
The actual product comes in a grey tall canister, containing 200ml. Rather than having a standard pull-off cap, and spray button, it has a fancy twist cap, so you twist to activate the spraying ability, and then twist back, if you so desire! The principle works well, although if the cap hasn't been fully opened then your spray is somewhat diminished!
The actual odour - Well, the fragrance of this product is very fresh, almost soapy, with spicy and slightly musky base notes. It is not unlike the Gillette Cool Wave spray, which I tried some time back, although is not as pungent and soapy as that one. It doesn't irritate my skin, some sprays have done in the past, but this does not. I must point out that it is NOT advertised as being hypoallergenic, so may well irritate other folk.
All in all, recommended for its sweat stopping skills, although minus 1 star for the ways it stains my shirts! A final plea to anyone who has any tips to get these out....
...and your shirt. Adidas Deo however is different!
Adidas Deo comes in a very nice looking silver bottle that contains 200ml of the product. Other Ciao users have reported that the nozzle is a bit awkward - this has now been changed to a more conventional one. It comes in several differnt 'flavours'. The one I have tried is called "Dynamic Pulse", which is a pleasant smell described as a "Clean mineral fragrance" on the bottle. For those of you who ... ...it so far so maybe Adidas have changed the forumula they use to make it.
I'd rate this product as excellent with no obvious downsides. Its easily the best deodorant I've used and I will continue to use it and recommend it to my friends. It really is very effective and actually does what it claims to - something which is pretty unique in the deodorant world! Congratulations Adidas on creating a decent smelling deodorant that actually works - great ...

Advantages: Fabulous smell. great anti-perspirant Disadvantages: staining. annoying can
...underarm perspiration.
Recently I discovered Adidas Deo Performance for men (priced at about 1.80 - 3.00 available from Supermarkets and most High St Chemists)which is one of the few products of its type which does exactly what it says on the container - keeps perspiration to a minimum. I will add that the container is groovy and silver.
One of it's qualities is that it sprays on dry and stays dry, letting minimal amounts of sweat seep through.
... ...I feel that nonvisibility of sweat is vital. Thus, this deodorant is my saviour.
Also, I feel that the smell is fabulous, the best whiffing deodorant in a long time. Unfortunately, the smell, although keeping out the odour of sweat, does not stick around all day long no matter how much deodorant is applied and this brings me to the disadvantages.
The annoying lid is quite difficult to get used to and difficult to press.(this could just be me being ...

Advantages: Great smell, Attractive can, effective Disadvantages: Tested on animals, stains big time!
...and bodily odour but with Adidas I still have a nice pleasant smell!
The spray does make your skin feel very soft and smooth to start off with but as the day goes on it does start to feel wuite tight in my opinion.
The can it comes are very groovy silver press button system which works nicely and the can is well designed and comes in some very fetching colours.
My biggest problems with this is it stains on my dark green cotton t-shirts, which ... ...It is also quite dear, guess your paying for the name!
The other thing that slightly worries me is that Adidas do test there products or animals, which is something I disagree with. This is something I have recently found out so now must find a different deodarant! ...
