Clear Antiperspirant Stick?

[Keebler Elf]

It appears my antiperspirant of choice, Right Guard Total Defense 5 clear stick, has been discontinued. It's the only clear stick (solid, not gel) I'm aware of. All the others I've seen are either spray, white stick, or gel.

Anyone know of any other clear stick antiperspirants? (not deodorant)

Thanks for the thread! I was using Gilette Clinical strength antiperspirant clearstick and they discontinued that too and I don't like anything in the market right now so I'm looking for suggestions myself. I hope someone has good ideas.

There is a new product on the market called "Vanish."

You spray it on, you disappear and nobody knows where the stink is coming from...

Isn't Right Guard Total Defense 5 clear stick, both a antiperspirant and deodorant?

I use Arrid Extra Dry Invisible Solid Antiperspirant and Deodorant. Can be bought at Rexall, but not Shoppers.
Not sure if a "clear stick" is something unique, but Arrid leaves no coloured residue. It dries fast, is effective for 24+ hours and doesn't leave my armpit feeling like it has a layer of cellophane on.

Clear stick a thing? Jesus, it's still 1993 and no one told me!

Could be. But I know it's not just a deodorant stick. Clear stick means it's not the white chalky color; it looks like clear gel but it's a solid.

I emailed Right Guard and they didn't say it's discontinued but they did say "demand seems to be very light in your area." Nice spin! lol

Then they directed me to www.mybrands.com and said it's available there. Of course, when you look the item up it's no longer offered. DOH!

Irish spring has a clear stick works well for me

Arrid Extra Dry is indeed a white chalky colour, although it does not leave a visible residue on your underarm or shirt.

Mitchum invisible solid (it's a clear) may suit your needs: http://www.amazon.com/Mitchum-Advanced-Anti-Perspirant-Deodorant-Invisible/dp/B004MKHSTA

Note: I find that Shoppers Drug Mart won't special order items in, even if they carry the brand. Rexall is very good that way, suggest you give them a try for your Right Guard.

I had the same issue as you, being able to find that product. Also, I can't use the white/opaque deodorant without getting a rash. I've switched to Colgate Speedstick. (I think it used to be called Menen.)

A little off topic:

I prefer my toiletry products to be unscented. I'd rather have no-smell unless I chose to wear an after-shave (or whatever).

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with scented products, it's just not my thing. Sometimes when stuck in a busy elevator, I can't help but notice that the guy beside me uses Axe deodorant, Irish Spring soap and is wearing too much cologne. In an effort to smell good, the naive dude has become overpowering.

My point: It's surprisingly difficult to buy unscented solid deodorant and non-perfumed soaps.

Keebler brings up an important point.

Some white sticks discolor or slightly stain clothing even after being washed.

I don't mind soft, clear gels, although I did see or buy a clear stick recently but I think it's in my supply closet.

I picked some up at WalMart today. Run over and stock up while they still have some.

Asians do not have much if any apocrine glands hence minimal armpit or genital odours from perspiration. Asians don't clean out the shelves at Walmart or Shoppers Drug Mart when there are sales on antiperspirants or deodorants lol.

I've been using this for years. If you shower daily and apply this stuff you won't smell. Once it dries it doesn't feel sticky and gross or stain like other products I've tried. It's mineral salts so all natural and free of any chemicals.

Don't kid yourself. Just because it proudly proclaims "no aluminum chlorohydrates" doesn't mean that the main ingredient isn't an aluminum compound. Probably potassium aluminum. Naturally occurring, doncha know. (just like uranium, nightshade, and Ezra Levant). Best beware of labels that only tell you half the truth.

Having said that, the jury is still out as to whether aluminum in an externally applied cosmetic/hygiene product is going to harm you in any which way, so if the shit works, knock yourself out. I'll thank you should I ever find myself beside you in a hot, crowded subway car.

OP, what do you have against deodorant? I switched from antiperspirant to deodorant a few years ago and haven't looked back. Isn't the smell the most important thing to get rid of? I find my pits don't really sweat any more without antiperspirant, and I also found that antiperspirant sticks to my clothes way more than deodorant and doesn't come out as easily in the wash. Plus there are tons of clear stick deodorants. Give it a shot, see what happens.

Is aluminum chlorohydrates linked to Alzheimer's disease?

The compound in Crystal is Alum, which is a far cry from the crap in other anti-antiperspirants and deodorants.

Natural Science: Understanding Salt Deodorants

Mineral salts are present in the water we drink, in almost all the foods we eat, and in the air we breathe. At the foundation of Crystal deodorant is the natural mineral salt called 'Alum'. Alum is a compound of Aluminum, which is the third most abundant element in nature, after oxygen and silicon.

It has been part of our environment since the beginning of time and is one of the basic building blocks of our universe. Mineral salts (Alum) should not be confused with Aluminum Chlorohydrate or Aluminum Zirconium, which are regulated by the FDA as drugs, and are purposefully intended to plug the pores so as to stop perspiration.

LOL, after these two comments, I have to ask; are you Rockslinger / Skyrider?

A simple Google search results in 3 reasonably reputable sources that say: No, no connection has yet been proven.

I'm not a doctor and I'm not saying the products are 100% safe, but you take 1000X greater risk showering in the tub each day.

Why not research your own answers to these types of questions?? I'm not trying to be a dick, but a ton of people here follow the same MO and these types of fact-based questions could be answered with a little effort. You might learn something.
