Femfresh Intimate Hygiene Feminine Freshness Deodorant Spray, 125 ml (Pack of 1), Packing may vary

Product Information

We love Certain Dri’s Prescription Strength Clinical Antiperspirant for its intense protection against sweat and odors—it kept our armpits dry and stink-free for up to 24 hours. The product rolls on wet but dries instantly and doesn't transfer. And we love that it’s budget-friendly, too. Reapplication throughout the day comes with the territory of a body spray. Feel free to spray with abandon, as often as every two hours. However, Fitz shares that they can last for up to four hours — particularly if you make sure the mist reaches your hair and clothes. To the unsuspecting consumer, a body spray might simply seem like a cheaper and less pungent alternative to a fragrance. Because of this, keeping in mind that a body spray is intended to be reapplied every few hours is key to prevent disappointment. All too often reviewers complain that body sprays loose their aroma after just a couple of hours, not even realizing that this feature is not only by design, but also the beauty of the composition. Peruse the toiletry section of any pharmacy, grocery store, or gas station and you’ll see the phrase “feminine hygiene” plastered over lotions and potions, wipes, oils, and more. We evaluated products for efficacy, texture, scent, transfer resistance, and overall value—scoring each on a scale of 1 (would not recommend) to 5 (highly recommend) in these key categories. We also used testers’ scores and detailed insights to generate a list of the best women’s deodorants and antiperspirants on the market today.

Klotz K, Weistenhöfer W, Neff F, Hartwig A, van Thriel C, Drexler H. The health effects of aluminum exposure. Deutsches Ärzteblatt international. Published online September 29, 2017. doi:10.3238/arztebl.2017.0653 This gentle deodorant has been specially formulated to give long lasting freshness in the intimate area. The delicate fragrance, combined with the calendula multi-Actif complex helps limit the development of odour to leave you feeling fresh and confident. The moisturising silk extract provides a protective layer to ensure maximum comfort.Doctors advise it is best to wear cotton underwear and keep changing your undergarments at least twice a day. The genital region is sensitive and prone to irritation. The presence of hair follicles trap sweat and encourage bacterial growth. This can lead to body odor.

However, although it’s fragrance-free, the concentration of active ingredients may be too strong for those with sensitive skin. Fitz names nostalgic scents — such as those that are reminiscent of 80’s trends — rising to prominence. This makes us think, for instance, of the cult-favorite perfume created by the sun-care line Vacation Inc. “Sun and ozonic scents are also trending for summer, which are super reminiscent of the beach, as well as [fragrances] with inspiration from the garden [like] carrots, dill, and cucumber,” she adds. The Best Way to Apply Body Spray and Mist

Deodorants and antiperspirants are often characterized as clinical strength when the formula contains higher levels of aluminum compared to traditional strength formulas, Penzi says. If you have hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating, she suggests looking for clinical-strength antiperspirants with a high percentage of aluminum. If you have sensitive skin or want to opt for more natural antibacterial ingredients, look for aluminum-free products. Just keep in mind that natural deodorants and antiperspirants typically don’t provide the same long-lasting protection that clinical strength products do.
