Spray Deodorant vs. Stick Deodorant

Do you prefer a spray deodorant or stick deodorant? We may not discuss it very often, but choosing the best antiperspirant deodorant is important for our underarms. The right product can help keep sweat under control, make us smell great and care for our delicate underarm skin. So, we want to help you make the best decision possible and answer the question: what kind of antiperspirant is right for you?

06 December '23

The benefits of a spray deodorant 

When it comes to choosing an antiperspirant deodorant, using a spray can have plenty of benefits. The formula goes on with an instantly dry feeling – so you can get dressed and start your day straight away. Plus, for a boost of freshness on-the-go, our 1oz Go Fresh Dry Spray Cool Essentials Antiperspirant comes in a slightly smaller size to conveniently carry it around with you.

Spray deodorants also deliver a beautiful burst of fragrance – like all of our Go Fresh Antiperspirant Deodorant range. With a variety of vibrant scents to choose from, you can start your day wrapped up in a revitalizing fragrance like our juicy Go Fresh Rejuvenate or refreshing Go Fresh Cool Essentials.

The benefits of a stick deodorant 

The main difference between a deodorant stick and a spray is the application. Our range of antiperspirant deodorant sticks all have creamy formulas that glide on with ease – so you can get perfectly even and controlled coverage. 

Plus, just like a spray deodorant – you can easily carry around a deodorant stick with you. Our 0.5oz Invisible Advanced Care Clear Finish Antiperspirant is a convenient enough size to fit in your bag. Simply swipe on for a beautifully fresh feeling – and our best protection that’s proven to leave no white marks on 100 colors. 

Making the right decision for you 

The best antiperspirant deodorant for you? Whether it’s a stick deodorant or a spray deodorant, the right choice is whatever makes you feel the most comfortable.  Don’t feel like you have to choose just one though – you can always rotate your deodorant to suit your routine. Why not use a spray for a beautiful burst of fragrance before you leave the house, and a stick for a discrete application when you want a boost of underarm confidence at work?

You’ll be glad to hear that our entire range of antiperspirant deodorants provides long-lasting protection from sweat and odor, and contain Dove’s unique ¼ moisturizers. Nourishing your skin each time you apply, both our sticks and sprays leave you with softer, smoother underarms – so you’ll always get comfort and protection, whichever you choose.
