We've all been there. You've bought the expensive one, the natural one, the one your coworker swore by. And yet, somehow… you still smell like a gym bag by noon. So what gives? Why doesn't any deodorant work for you?

Some bodies just shrug them off. That mom-of-three recommendation? Your underarms might have literally zero interest.
Then there's the hormone wild card. Stress, your cycle, even the weather — they all play a huge role in how much you sweat and how strong it can be. No wonder those perfectly pleasant smelling sticks feel like they're working at half capacity!
