I was married on August 16th, 2008, in Albany NY.  August here is normally very hot and humid.  So i went with a spary deodorant. I didn't trust the "clear" brands to not leave somehting on my dress...they are never quite clear enough.  And with the spray i could use it everywhere..my back, underarms, under the dress.  And i felt dry and clean all day long.

I have been using the Secret Clinical Strenght for awhile and it works! I'm usually someone who sweats when I get nervous (never good for guest lecturing - I always get nervous...), but it really stops me from sweating. Haven't tried the other clinical strenghts, but I think they would work just as well.

I actually used Kiehl's deodorant for the big day and it was AHmazing.  It's not your typical deodorant stick--it's more like this really really thick lotion that squeezes out and you rub it in but it totally worked.  plus, it was odorless and didn't interfere with my (very light) perfume.  i'd HIGHly recommend it--i was so dry and didn't have to worry about it at all--no smudges on anybody when hugging, no dampness, no odor.  i applied it right when i got up, and once more right before putting on the dress for extra precaution.  it's more expensive, but the tube has still lasted me (my wedding was in november).  try it!

I recommend Secret Clinical Strength deodorant.  Secret is effective and does last all-day with mininal residue compared to Dove based upon my experience with using both brands.  However, I did notice that whenever I shaved my underarms and applied the deodorant, the deodorant would only be moderately effective in suppressing sweat.  However, when I waxed or plucked my underarms and then applied deodorant, the deodorant was actually much, much more effective in suppressing sweat/wetness even when I was sweating or hot.  Thus, I concluded that waxed/plucked underarms in conjuction with Secret Clinical Strength deodorant usage produced the driest condition for me!
