[bolded by me] This is my favorite part of this thread!

For those who use men's deodorants, any favorites? I haven't really been able to find something I'm consistently happy with in women's. I do prefer a powder-like scent, but it doesn't have to be feminine. I just want something that does a great job of controlling wetness/odor (I'm not a big sweater, but the heat is cranked up in my office in the winter! ).

I hadn't noticed it being less expensive, I just can't stand the smell of women's!

I also wear men's tube socks. My calves are so big but these never feel tight like all my fun ladies' knee socks.

Sherry, I have tried the women's version--in fact I have some in my office right now! I find it to be okay but fallible. Have you tried the men's?

I think I used the men's once when I ran out of mine and didn't realize I did not have another stick left. I think it did work really well. I can't remember which version it was, though. They make so many kinds!

Funny thread!! I totally agree about mens clothing. I have some great sweaters, long sleeve T's etc for CHEAP!! I've also worn a light cologne that's for men...the funny thing is I work w/ mostly women and when I wear it I get a lot of compliments!

Oh, I have a couple of men's colognes! In fact, I'm wearing CK One today--I think that one is supposed to be unisex though. I also wear Yves Saint Laurent M7. I didn't realize it was a "men's" fragrance when I first tried the sample! It's a warm musky scent that I love.

raising my hand here - I rarely have to shave these days now that I am post-meno. when I do, I grab the cordless Norelco and give the armpits a once-over.

old spice stick is good and comes in a variety of scents.

I have also used Axe stick, and Degree Black White. the latter has a very mild scent and Costco sells it.

I prefer to talk solutions rather than my feelings. Does that count?

I've learned a couple of things from this thread! However, I could never use DH's razor without him knowing. He sweats the details and notices everything!

I'm with you guys. I always buy the men's razors. You seem to get more for less money.

And I've been known to buy XL boys tees. The men's tees are usually narrow and long and the boy's a shorter and boxier, which I find more comfortable.

I like to buy unscented men's anti-perspirants.
