A Little Vent About Deodorant....

Deodorant is something I've been using my entire adult life. Over the years I've tried my share of the brands out there. I remember going to Croatia with my mom and forgetting to pack my deodorant. I thought, hey I'll just go to the store and get some, or so I thought, they had antiperspirant or deodorant, not a combo of both. I want the product to stop me from sweating and at the same time to prevent me from being smelly if/when I sweat.When I came to Australia, I brought 2 Secret Clinical Strength Lavender scented deodorants with me and of course eventually it ran out. They do not have Secret here, they have Rexona which is Degree, I've been using their clinical strength but they don't have lavender scented. My observance of product is that the type of deodorant mostly available here is spray, then roll-on and lastly stick, they have very few choices in stick but at least 20 in spray and 10 in roll-on. I don't want my pits to be wet, what's the point in making them wet, so they can stay dry? I just don't get it. Another thing I've noticed is that there are quite a few people out there that do not use deodorant and it makes you want to gag when they pass you. This is tropical Queensland, shower and deodorize, you will sweat in practically all of the seasons. People have actually complained that companies should not discriminate because of B.O. Of course you should discriminate in this instance. Shower for goodness sake! Why would an employer hire someone that doesn't shower and stinks of B.O. when that one person could cause their fellow co-workers to be physically ill.  
The brands of deodorant they have for women is Rexona (Degree) sprays and roll-ons and 2 clinical strength ones, Dove, Garnier and Nivea and I believe a Lady's Speed Stick. They also have that mineral rock.  Yet for men they have Old Spice, which is owned by P&G, if they can sell Old Spice here, why not Secret? Very annoying in this tropical state. 
Look at all the spray deodorant
