Spray deodorant
The aerosol effect of spray deodorants allows a light mist to be evenly dispersed over your skin. For this reason, many believe spray deodorant is better than stick.

The effortless application makes spray deodorants versatile. You can use them almost anytime, but the most ideal would be after showering when your skin is clean. It’s also beneficial to use them before engaging in physical activity or heading out for the day. Just hold the can 6 inches away from your underarms and spray for 2-3 seconds.
Spray deodorant: Pros and cons
The pros:
- Spray deodorants work over a larger surface area in a faster time than their stick counterparts.
- The aerosol mist dries almost rapidly on your armpit, providing instant freshness and rejuvenation.
- There is less residue than stick alternatives, therefore less of a chance to stain your clothing.
- The product feels lighter on the skin compared to stick deodorants.
The cons:
