deodorize

as a synthetic chemist, maybe my calling in life is to make a deodorant that will satisfy all my needs, cause there certainly isn't anything on the market right now that does.
first i started off with a deodorant only. i'd heard that antiperspirant does bad things to your body since it stops you from sweating, so i looked at the store for a non-antiperspirant (a perspirant, if you will). shockingly, there are only a few on the market. after using the lady speed stick for a couple years, i gave up. it is no longer shocking to me that there are only a few. they suck.
next, at my roommate's suggestion, i went for the dove invisible solid, powder fresh. you would think INVISIBLE solid would imply that you can't see it. so why was it that everytime i wore a black shirt, i would get white powdery flakes on my clothes? this is not invisible. the plus was that i did not sweat and my armpits felt pretty dry. we're getting somewhere.
at my last trip to the store, i decided that i would find a clear gel antiperspirant/deodorant. this would theoretically solve the problem of white powder on my dark clothes. and yes, it did, but instead, unless i hold my arms straight out for 5-10 minutes, i get clear goo on my clothes. and it feels wet. seems that an antiperspirant is supposed to stop you from feeling wet. no good either. i should have known when the container said peach shimmer. who wants to shimmer in their armpits?
so unless someone out there has a good suggestion, i'm going to have to give up all my projects in the lab and start working on something. anyone willing to be a test subject?

Maybe you can use the peach shimmer all over your face and body next time you go to that Cherry Whore place. When I think shimmery, I think club. And peaches and cherries are both fruits. And it would help you from getting dehydrated....

Secret Platinum. It's white, but creamy, so you blend it in. Doesn't get on clothes that way. It's lovely.

The Secret Platinum also has a new invisible stick which I've used with black and navy tops and been very impressed. The application is nice (and dry), and the sweat/odor protection is superior.

Boy, I sound like a commercial...
