What To Look For

When you are buying a deodorant, there are many things you need to consider. Do you want to buy a deodorant that simply masks odors, or one that stops sweat because it is also an antiperspirant? Generally, the later is the better option because you are preventing both stains and smell. You should also consider buying a deodorant that is invisible when applied. This will prevent staining, it won't leave marks on your cloths and it is not noticeable when being worn.

Common Pitfalls

When buying a deodorant, it is important to know whether it is both a deodorant and antiperspirant or just a deodorant. While some people prefer a plain deodorant, many want to block sweat entirely so they don't develop wet spots under their arms.

Where To Buy

Deodorants can be purchased in drugstores, grocery stores, online and at big-box retail establishments like Target and Wal-Mart. If you are looking for a store that has a decent selection and extremely low prices, Wal-Mart is your best bet.

Cost

Secret Flawless, recommended by Allure magazine, and Secret Clinical Protection, recommended by Real Simple magazine, rate high among female consumers. Secret Clinical Protection retails for $10 to $12. Secret Flawless retails for about $5. If you are a guy, Men's Health magazine recommends Mitchum Clear Gel Antiperspirant, retailing for about $5.
