Looking Good, Feeling Great - Deodorant that doesn't leave white streaks?

Argh... I'm seriously tired of buying deodorant after deodorant that says it doesn't leave white streaks and then ending up with white streaks. Yesterday I wore a black tank top and I swear that by the end of the day I had two inches of white smear halfway to my waist. Anyone have any suggestions of one that does actually go on clear and stay clear? I sweat like crazy, so have to use pretty strong ones...

I struggled with this forever...and now I finally use Mitchum Power Gel...it's strong, and it works, and it's completely clear. The down side is it's a gel, not a solid...but I just had to get over that. I put it on first, then brush teeth, etc while it dries, and then get dressed. I was at my wit's end...even after I had washed my clothes they still had white residue...but now I'm sold on the Mitchum.

Definitely not Degree's little black dress approved ones - because all my black dresses have white arm pits now!

I was going to add you might be putting too much- so put it on- let it sit for a minute- then gently wipe off excess?

Could be that I don't let it dry long enough, too... I put it on as soon as I'm out of the shower, then brush my teeth and dry my hair. i of course get sweaty again during this process, so I'm sure it reactivates the moisture level in it... :(

I always wipe my armpits before I put anything on, gets rid of excess moisture :) I would put it on last.

I love Earth Science. It's natural and doesn't feel like glue either.

I use Nivea solid. I can't find it in the states so I have my parents send it to me in care packages from Europe. It's the only stuff that works for me.

This might sounds really weird....
But I actually use Old Spice Invisible Solid.
I don't really wear perfume, and I found the scent that was the least "Old Spice"-y, and I LOVE it. It works really well, it doesn't mess up my clothes and people tell me I smell nice all the time. I know it's odd, but if you can find one that you don't mind the smell of, it's an awesome product!

I've had good luck with the dove sensitive skin soft solid, clinical strength one. And it works wonderfully too. A little pricey, but a little goes a long way.

I use Secret Platinum - its a clear gel, comes in lots of different scents and unscented. It works great and leaves NO marks!

I use men's mitchum unscented roll-on. This stuff is serious and its true about skipping a day.
Application is key, put on dry underarms and dry fully before clothes go on. Some times I hit it with the cold setting on my hairdrier for a few seconds.
No streaks-no sweat-nada
(I swear they make all the good products that actually work for men, cause the ladies mitchum sucks)

I dunno Shannon, but I have tried many of these that were mentioned here & honestly haven't truly found one that doesn't leave white residue, despite the CLAIMS! The majority of my tops are black, so it sucks always doing the pit check & always having to re-wet a washcloth & scrub, scrub, scrub the deo off! I'm currently using the ladies mitchum gel, its better than some but not 100% white residue proof either..
Lemme know if you find one that works Shannon, cuz I will surely be interested to know chicky!!!!

And any tips for the yellowed underarms under ALL my white shirts?? I think that is from deodorant as well as I'm not a super heavy sweater.
