Prefer the Liquid Version
I have used Certain Dri Solid Antiperspirant. It was better than most companies’ roll-on varieties in terms of keeping me fresh and dry, but I did not have the many hours of “certainty” I do with the liquid. In modeling school, we were taught that a solid is never as effective as a liquid. Because Certain Dri is so very effective, I didn’t fear using a solid, but the advice I learned holds true.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 6 people said helpful

Not as good as the roll on
I tried this product because the roll on made my armpits itch and burn like crazy, and it did cut down on the pain, but it really didn't work as well. I've had excessive sweating problems since middle school and this solid really didn't do it for me. It's really not as strong as the roll-on formula.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 19 of 35 people said helpful

Works!
I know the general consensus seems to be that the roll-on version of Certain Dri is better, but those of us with sensitive skin that is prone to irritation can't really rely on such an option. Luckily, the solid version has been working great for me. I get absolutely no irritation or any unpleasant side effects really. The solid DOES work as well as the roll-on, but it depends on the person and it...read more takes a while longer before your excess perspiration gets under control. When I started using this stuff I used the higher end of the suggested number of swipes: 6. And even then, I noticed only a slight change for the better for the next few days. However, after about a week there was a drastic change and at about 2 weeks of nightly use, I am totally dry under my arms - all day, every day, under all circumstances. I've dropped down to only 4 swipes per arm, but still every night and I no longer have to worry about feeling uncomfortable with excess perspiration. I also use an additional anti-perspirant/deodorant (Old Spice Sweat Defense) in the morning after showering and the combined effect of the two keeps my underarms dry and smelling great. So I'd say definitely give Certain Dri Solid a trial run if you have sensitive skin or have had to stop using the roll-on version - and stick with it for at least 2-3 weeks before deciding it doesn't work for you. Well after using this product for so long I must say it has held up quite well. I now do 4 swipes per underarm each night because I find that that controls my perspiration the best. This product really is a savior for those of us with excessive underarm sweat. Roughly 4 months and Certain Dri solid stick has betrayed me. After working quite well for roughly 5-6 months, its effectiveness against my excess sweating has worn off and it has gotten to the point that I may as well not even put it on anymore. For this reason, I've docked 1 star from my previous rating. The solid may still work well for people who have a much less severe issue with excessive perspiration. I've done what most people seem to suggest and went and purchased the roll-on version despite my hesitation due to my sensitive skin. I'm happy to report: so far so good. I've only been using the roll-on for 2 nights but I'm noticing it's already working much better than the solid ever did. If you have similar hesitations about trying the roll-on like me, I can't stress this more: READ THE DIRECTIONS AND FOLLOW THEM CAREFULLY. So many people who have written about irritation and rashes fail to follow the directions and apply the roll-on after bathing or shaving their armpits, which will sting like a hornets' nest under your arm. My current regimen is to put on Certain Dri roll-on at bedtime (as instructed) and regular Old Spice deodorant (not antiperspirant, so as to save my white shirts from yellow aluminum stains) in the morning after showering. I only hope that the roll-on holds up for the long run. Well after almost a month of using Certain Dri Roll-On I must say I'm very happy with the results. The roll-on has been far more effective than the stick and I've experienced none of the negative side effects some people have. I hardly sweat anymore, even when working out at the gym. It took about a week and a half to two weeks before I saw a dramatic reduction in my under arm perspiration. I still apply it every night but when I feel fully comfortable with it I might experiment with every other night, etc. I wrote an in-depth review of the roll-on and it is posted under that product page. Very happy that I've found something that finally works.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 14 people said helpful

Amazing Product!
I love love love Certain Dri. With my hyperhydrosis this antiperspirant has made such a difference on my excessive sweating issues and completely changed how I feel leaving the house especially during the summer months. I love that it lasts so much longer than the other brands I've tried too and doesn't leave me smelling like a weird flower.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Choose a deodorant that doesn’t clog-up the skin or preventing sweating.
Choose a deodorant that doesn’t clog-up the skin or preventing sweating. A good deodorant is one without leaving residues, stains and odours behind. I've been using UARMSOL deodorant for many years now, even when I sweat, I have no more underarm or armpit odours. I applied 1 pinch and it's all to it for the whole day without worries about any smell afterwards. There's no chemicals, oil or frag...read morerances added. No staining clothes too. There's no after sport smell or odour masking. And the best thing is I don't have to shave !This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 2 people said helpful

Love it!
I love this product! I'm a post menopausal woman living in Las Vegas. (In my younger years, I did not sweat much at all.) It's over 110 for well over 30-45 days in a row in the summer. I sweat profusely. I put this product everywhere. I put it on the back of my neck, under the "girls", between them, and of course my underarms. I am bone dry, when I remember to use it the night before. Before this,...read more I was a soppy mess!! I don't know why this is so hard to find. I use the solid, but I have the roll on in case I run out of the solid.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 12 of 23 people said helpful
