Men sweat more than women and often have a stronger odour. Odour only develops when fresh sweat is broken down by bacteria. The formation of odour can be prevented by two mechanisms: inhibiting the bacteria under the armpits or preventing the formation of sweat altogether. This is what antiperspirants do.
Deodorants for men can be found in a dozen on drugstore shelves. We have selected the 5 best deodorants for you from the large selection.
