I usually put on 2-3 sprays every couple of hours, that works best for me but it depends how much exercise you're doing and how much you're sweating

Sometimes it is the deoderant(that chaffs).And If it does not work well after a few hours, change it. If you have to forgo the deorerant try to wash under your arms when ever you can. Also remember, the scent we make has pheromones, some folks like it.

Some Deodorant/ Antiperspirants were better than others based upon your body. Buy the travel size and use different ones to see which is better for you. I use old spice and it lasts fairly log time -depending on activity levels

I wear degree men. I used to wear an antiperspirant when I was younger, but as I got bigger I started sweating more, and the antiperspirant stopped working. I actually sweat too much for it. If I wear it, I sweat and get pit stains. When I wear just regular deodorant, I'll still get sweaty pits, but it doesn't stain at all. No one cares that I have wet pits all of the time.

As for how much, I put on 9 swipes per armpit. If I put on any less, I'll smell. Any more, and my armpits get itchy.

Deodorant have alcohol in them so they dry the area applied to. If you overdo it, it's going to cause irritation.

I generally put on a few short sprays every couple of hours. If I'm at school, for example, then I put some on when I get out the shower in the morning, more at break/lunch (11am/12:15pm) and then some when I get in which is enough until my shower the following morning.

That's just what I do though, you'll find that you may need more or less, depending on your body and what activities you're doing.

If it itches then try a different brand because you may be allergic to some ingredient. I've used several kinds of deodorant and only Old Spice keeps me from breaking out. Just use enough to cover your pits. Probably no more than five seconds per side...

3 swipes on each pit after the morning shower and the same after my after-run shower.

2 swipes of roll on per pit gets me through the day, not really a smelly person.

Here's the deal. Works best if you apply after a shower at night before bed. But I also use it again after practice during the day. The two best for both odor and wetness are Mitchum advanced clinical protection and another called Certain Dri that's not too famous but ROCKS and can be found at Wal-Mart

Usually 2-3 swipes if I'm using the stick type. Depends on what I am doing.
