Cisgender women and other individuals with a vagina have long been taught that their vaginas are smelly, dirty caverns. Companies are banking on the idea that most people with vaginas have internalized this message and experience deep shame about their scent. No, you don’t need genital hygiene products Liszewski W, Zaidi AJ, Fournier E, Scheman A. Review of aluminum, paraben, and sulfate product disclaimers on personal care products.

This can be done by opting for a complementary scent of body butter before spritzing it over with your body spray, or, of course, reaching for more than one. Diehard fans of scents will sometimes apply their chosen perfume in the morning, and then refresh the scent with its body spray version throughout the day. A visit to the drugstore will reveal many feminine hygiene products, including feminine deodorant sprays. These products are meant to balance the pH of your vagina and keep your genitals clean. We tested over 35 women’s deodorants and antiperspirants, but you won’t find all of them here. Some of the products we tested fell short in one or more key attributes, causing us to omit them from our final list of recommendations.

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 Femfresh Deodorant has been dermatologically and gynaecologically tested and is suitable for everyday use. The hypoallergenic, talc-free formula is gentle and can be sprayed around the intimate area or directly onto underwear. Sweat in your eyes during a tough workout may be annoying, but it’s also a sign that your body is hard at work (in addition to building muscle). Sweating helps cool you down during periods of intense physical activity or exposure to higher temperatures. This thermoregulating process is also responsible for other important functions, like clearing out excess toxins from the body. But despite its vital functions, sweating often leaves your underarms feeling wet and smelling less than pleasant. Thankfully, the right deodorant or antiperspirant can help.

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

With all of that to consider, plus the thousands of products on the market, narrowing down which one is right for you can be overwhelming. To take out the guesswork, we researched and tested over 35 best-selling deodorants, antiperspirants, and hybrid products of varying application types and formulations. Our team of expert testers 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 used these scores and detailed insights to create this final list of recommendations for our readers. Uriage’s Eau Thermale Power 3 is a deodorant and antiperspirant that protects against both odor and sweat—which proved true during our test.

During our test, Secret’s Stress Response Clinical Strength Deodorant and Antiperspirant did a great job of minimizing odor and sweat. But the product did not perform well in transfer resistance, leaving behind a noticeable white streak on our tester’s shirt.That would be a pH value of 3.5 to 4.5, which is slightly acidic. At this pH, the vagina can prevent “bad” bacteria from thriving, Chang says. 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.
