The Best Deodorant for Women who Sweat a Lot - Prevent Body Odor

Updated on September 17, 2014

Are you a Woman who Sweats a Lot?

Everybody sweats, or perspires, but sometimes it seems excessive. Especially if you're just lounging around and not engaging in strenuous activity. And when you do get a little exercise, you find that you're sweating buckets!

Excessive perspiration can be annoying, uncomfortable, and downright embarrassing. Especially when it causes a very unpleasant bodily odor. As far as I'm concerned... when there's sweat, there's always the possibility of an odor. And for me, that odor is not pleasant.

Clinical and Prescription Strength Protection

Clinical and Prescription Strength Protection

Many over the counter prescription strength or clinical strength antiperspirant/deodorant products are made especially for women. Just about every manufacturer of deodorant has a clinical strength variety.

What distinguishes these clinical type deodorants from the average deodorant is that they are more expensive and usually contain Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex Gly 20%. Many basic deodorants also contain this ingredient but in lesser concentration.

One of my favorite brands of deodorant is Secret Clinical Strength. It's a solid stick type deodorant and it's available in six different formulas with different fragrances:
