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.
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 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.
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 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!!!!

Ok ladies, bumping this to the top because I bought new mitchum powergel & it too leaves white marks on my black tanks & this sucker actually stays cakey under the pits & then later, the white $hit stuck in the pits, actually flakes onto my black tank- WTF- so fricken annoying with white marks & then white flakes! UGHHH Can anybody recommend something that is white free & flake free? I will try again to buy something else, but what the heck brand, HELP PLEASE, I AM SHOUTING SO SOMEBODY CAN HEAR ME & HELP A GAL OUT HERE? My biggest pet peeve by far.... Ughhh...

I use Avon roll on and have no problem with white streaks or white flakes.Not long ago I ran into a store that was closing I bought all the Men's Right Guard Spray deodorant that they had "cuz it was super cheap. It had a masculine scent which soon disappeared after putting it on and it left no white straqks or white flakes.
