If you use stick deodorant, how many swipes do you use under each arm? I use six. Am just tossing money in the pits?

Gel = 1
Regular = 2 or 3
Spray = 1
None = 0

You get more use out of gel or spray.

left - 1, 2. right - 1,2. gotta be even numbers to satisfy my ocd, so it could go 4 each.

Spray? Are you a 60 year old man wearing just a towel in a gym locker room?

I think I probably use 3 swipes, I might kick it up to 4 if I'm feeling saucy though.

2 swipes, top to bottom both swipes

Any more than that it feels like my armpit hair will braid itself when I move my arms.

Also, heard if your back sweats really bad. i.e. during an interview when you have a dress shirt on. Run a line of anti-perisipant (sp.) down the middle of your back...also same if you have really sweaty feet, just run some on your feet. Hear it works

5 short swipes, top to bottom, and the stick has to have antiperspirant in it. I sweat a lot, and anything less and I'm flat out uncomfortable the rest of the day.

I don't count. I paint it on, up and down strokes, from one side of the pit to the other. Nice, even strokes.

I tried the gel. It ruined my white tshirts. A swipe is one direction. I must be a little OCD too. The swipes have to be even. Just trying to build some credits. I lost 60 million in the last two months. I knew people would have opinions. They do about everything. By page three it will probably turn into a post about a completely different topic.
