Most guys don’t put too much thought into buying deodorant. Breezing through the expansive aisle at the big box store, they grab a familiar brand or the most striking packaging. But all those different formulas? They were essentially created to achieve different results. Which means you could be a lot less sweaty and smelly if you stock your bathroom with the right stick for you.

Try Degree Men Adrenaline Series ($4.99) which reacts to spikes in sweat-causing adrenaline and combats wetness with aluminum sesquichlorohydrate, a newer ingredient that's much better tolerated by skin than the more traditional aluminum chloride.

Try the all natural Speick Deo Stick ($10.99). Made in Germany from organic ingredients, this deodorant (along with the brand's shave stick and soap) has a cult following because it's gentle on your skin and has a pleasant, masculine and long lasting scent.

Try Dove Men+Care ($7.49) which promises to keep bad body odor at bay for up to 72 hours with one application. The long-lasting deodorant stick, made with skin-soothing moisturizer, has a subtle, clean scent that sticks around without being overpowering or competing with your cologne.

Try Mitchum's Advanced Gel Deodorant ($7.49 for two). Lightweight yet clinically proven to be effective at keeping you dry, this gel uses a proprietary quick-drying formula that glides onto skin and absorbs almost instantly. And it won't leave any residue on your underarms or your clothes.

Deodorants kill the bacteria that makes your sweat smell. Antiperspirants work to prevent wetness by blocking your sweat ducts, usually with aluminum salts. It’s the aluminum that can cause those yellow stains on your shirts.
