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. For a week.
Most recently I forgot deodorant. 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. This is where choosing the right deodorant for you (and your degree of forgetfulness) plays a role.
Thankfully, there’s something for everyone when it comes to deodorant at Walgreens. Even us forgetful folks.
They have 4 major categories to keep you smelling like a rose. As you’ve heard me say before, everyone is a snowflake. You have to find the right deodorant for your body!
Here’s a break down:
- Dry Spray – 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 – Arm pits are sensitive! Shaving, chafing, and sweat can irritate it. Care deodorants gently moisturize and softens your skin.
- Motion Activated – If you’re constantly running around – even outside of the gym – this is what you want. These deodorants detect movement and keep you feeling confident in your scent for 48 hours with Motionsense® technology.
- Clinical Protection – This is for those of you who need a little extra wetness protection. 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. 48 hours. That potentially embarrassing gym trip was saved by Motionsense®!
Which leads me to another confession… I wear men’s deodorant. I stink. Just ask Vegas.
Vegas, on the other hand, is far more girly (isn’t that so sweet?). She was gifted with a deodorant from the ladies section. Mostly because of these offers:
BOGO! Buy 1 Dove, Dove Men+Care, Degree® Women, Degree® Men and Axe Deodorants, Get 1 50% off.*
*Offer good 8/28/2016 – 10/1/2016. Excludes trial size. Due to state and federal laws, points cannot be earned or redeemed on some items, and points will not be earned in a transaction where store credit or redemption dollars are used. See full terms and details at Walgreens.com/Balance.

*Offer good 9/25-10/1/16. Balance Rewards card required for promotional pricing.
Let’s face it, no one wants to be the (forgetful) smelly kid. Or the “unsure” pit stained dancer. Or the hottie with white chalky streaks on their LBD.
Walgreens.com/DoDeoBetter is a great resource to help find the deodorant that’s right for you. Check it out and you can #DoDeoBetter, too!

I may forget a lot… but I have never forgotten to eat. How does this happen to people?!
What’s your deodorant “style”?
What are you most likely to forget?
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape says
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!
Laura says
I do too! I’m sure it’s weird that I’d prefer a man’s scent… but whatever.
Tara @ Sweat like a Pig says
I always wear men’s deodorant when I go to the gym. I find it helps to keep the creepers away!
Laura says
HAHAHA! I didn’t even think of that… but then again, I workout with a bunch of gay men.
Allie says
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 🙂
Laura says
I can’t wait until 40… Vegas is always telling me that same because I tease her ALL the time.
lindsay Cotter says
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!
Laura says
I can’t image you ever smelling! 😉
Kate says
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.
Laura says
I never found the natural stuff effective… not even on my right. LOL!
Anna says
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.
Laura says
A couple people have mentioned Mitchum… that may be my next purchase!
Marsha says
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!
Emily says
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. 😀 Choosing the right one is always hard though.
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
I wear men’s deodorant too, especially in the summer time. I also put it under my arms and under my boobs.
Laura says
Your boobs?! Do they smell? I must know…
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
They don’t smell but they sweat. A lot.
Debra Eliotseats says
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!
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
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 🙂
Laura says
Sexy intrigue?! Color me intrigued…
kaci cheeseman says
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.
Laura says
Agreed on both points! The women’s scents give me a headache.
Dietitian Jess says
I wear men’s deodorant too, lol. I would never forget to it- usually I just forget to do something or bring something.
Abby @BackatSquareZero says
I am all about the clinical protection – I swear to heaven the older I get the more I stink when I workout!
Laura says
So true! It’s only gets worse as you age. *sigh*
Mary says
I’m a regular to sprint2thetable, I love hearing about you and Vegas’s awesome adventures, and you regularly post food, and I’m 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. I’m a Mitchum girl; I might try the male version next time just to compare.
Laura says
This whole comment cracked me up. How could I pass up a posting opportunity about BO? LOL!
Kathleen Lisson says
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.
Laura says
That’s a good question… I’m sure they do eventually. Like pills – they just become ineffective maybe?
You hiked Kilimanjaro?! So jealous!
