I can be forgetful.
Yes, it does get worse as you age.
At 33, I’ve forgotten a lot of things: my keys, where I parked, conference calls… once Vegas and I BOTH forgot to turn in a rental car. Ā For a week.
Most recently I forgot deodorant. Ā This is not the first time I’ve forgotten it, but it’s particularly embarrassing when you’re headed to the gym where you quite obviously need it. Ā This is where choosing the right deodorant for you (and your degreeĀ of forgetfulness) plays a role.
Thankfully, there’s something for everyone when it comes toĀ deodorant at Walgreens. Ā Even us forgetful folks. Ā
They have 4 major categories to keep you smelling like a rose. Ā As you’ve heard me say before, everyone is a snowflake. Ā You have to find the right deodorant for your body!
Here’s a break down:
- Dry SprayĀ ā This goes on instantly dry, which is perfect if you’re one of those people who’s still pulling on a shirt as you rush out the door!
- Care ā Arm pits are sensitive! Ā Shaving, chafing, and sweat can irritate it. Ā Care deodorants gently moisturize andĀ softens your skin.
- Motion Activated ā If you’reĀ constantlyĀ running around – even outside of the gym – this is what you want. Ā These deodorants detect movement and keep you feeling confident in your scent for 48 hours with MotionsenseĀ® technology.
- Clinical Protection ā This is for those of you who need a little extra wetness protection. Ā There’s no need to make a special trip to the doctor for a prescription – clinical protection deodorant defends with clinical strength wetness protection!
Anyone want to guess what I wear?
Motion activated. Ā 48 hours. Ā That potentially embarrassing gym trip was saved by MotionsenseĀ®!
Which leads me to another confession…Ā I wear men’s deodorant. Ā I stink. Ā Just ask Vegas.
Vegas, on the other hand, is far more girlyĀ (isn’t that so sweet?). Ā She was gifted with a deodorant from the ladies section. Ā Mostly because of theseĀ offers:
BOGO!Ā Buy 1 Dove, Dove Men+Care, DegreeĀ® Women, DegreeĀ® Men and Axe Deodorants, Get 1 50% off.*

Letās face it, no one wants to be the (forgetful) smelly kid. Ā Or the “unsure” pit stained dancer. Ā Or theĀ hottieĀ with white chalky streaks on their LBD.
Walgreens.com/DoDeoBetterĀ is a great resource to help find the deodorant thatās right for you. Ā Check it out and you can #DoDeoBetter, too!

I may forget a lot… but I have never forgotten to eat. Ā How does this happen to people?!
What’s your deodorant “style”?
What are you most likely to forget?
I too am a motion girl and I also wear men’s deoderant too. The girls stuff just never seems to work! Also I think the men’s stuff smells nicer! Ha!
I do too! I’m sure it’s weird that I’d prefer a man’s scent… but whatever.
I always wear men’s deodorant when I go to the gym. I find it helps to keep the creepers away!
HAHAHA! I didn’t even think of that… but then again, I workout with a bunch of gay men.
First off I had no clue there were so many varieties!? I do wear Dove and my husband wears the clinical stuff because he stinks but you have shed some light on differing needs…. interesting! And if you think your memory is bad now, wait until you hit 40! I don’t know where I am half the time š
I can’t wait until 40… Vegas is always telling me that same because I tease her ALL the time.
confession… i never know which deodorant to get. So, this is timely. I don’t forget to wear it, just want to tknow the best kind for me!
I can’t image you ever smelling! š
I went through a phase where I wore men’s Deoderant. Love the way it smells. Currently I’m using a “natural” Deoderant. Between you and I, it only seems to work on my right armpit. I definitely need to get something else.
I never found the natural stuff effective… not even on my right. LOL!
Only Mitchum unscented, forever. It really is so good you can skip a day, and no perfume to mess with my allergies. I will also throw on some Secret I keep in my purse for extra confidence if I have to stop somewhere between a workout or sweaty commute or flop-sweat inducing presentation/sermon and my house. But the perfume in it does make my nose itch.
A couple people have mentioned Mitchum… that may be my next purchase!
Give me anything heavy duty. I’ve been using degree this summer, and I like it. My sweat stinks, and that’s for sure! lol!
Hmmm…. I think deodorant is one thing that I usually don’t forget? Maybe it’s because I kind of am always concerned about not being stinky. š Choosing the right one is always hard though.
I wear men’s deodorant too, especially in the summer time. I also put it under my arms and under my boobs.
Your boobs?! Do they smell? I must know…
They don’t smell but they sweat. A lot.
I walked out the door yesterday (for a super busy day at work) with out anything. Hopefully no one noticed. I really like Tom’s!
Degree has been my go to for a long time. They have great smells too but funny I picked up one called “sexy intrigue” the other day. Funny name for a deordant š
Sexy intrigue?! Color me intrigued…
OMG! I’m so glad to know that I’m not the only female who wears men’s deodorant!!
Seriously though…
1. The scents are always better.
2. I also have sweat/stink issues and men’s totally works better.
Agreed on both points! The women’s scents give me a headache.
I wear men’s deodorant too, lol. I would never forget to it- usually I just forget to do something or bring something.
I am all about the clinical protection – I swear to heaven the older I get the more I stink when I workout!
So true! It’s only gets worse as you age. *sigh*
Iām a regular to sprint2thetable, I love hearing about you and Vegasās awesome adventures, and you regularly post food, and Iām the kind of person that loves to eat with my eyes. I said all that to say I had to chuckle out loud when I saw the title of today’s post. Choosing the right deodorant is never easy. Iām a Mitchum girl; I might try the male version next time just to compare.
This whole comment cracked me up. How could I pass up a posting opportunity about BO? LOL!
I wonder if deoderants expire? I need an antiperspirant/deoderant I can use daily, that will be in my bathroom and get used up rather quickly, but I also need a deoderant that can sit in my trunk and in my portable massage bag for “emergencies.” AND, a camping deoderant that needs to stay in my camping bag and last quite a while while not attracting bees, bugs with a sweet smell. When I climbed Kilimanjaro I used a recommended-to-me antiperspirant which I put on once and it stopped my sweating for a week. Essential for when I’m re-using hiking clothes on a long backpack trip.
That’s a good question… I’m sure they do eventually. Like pills – they just become ineffective maybe?
You hiked Kilimanjaro?! So jealous!
