Driclor or alternatives?

?

I started using this about a month ago, having read the instructions I expected it to sting and for the first few nights it was bearable then the next few nights I was waking up in the night and having to wash it off because it was itchy and really hurting. My armpits were bright red and felt like really bad sunburn. I haven't used it for about 2 weeks but my armpits still itch and obviously I'm still sweating more than I'd like to be. The instructions say this might happen and to not use it for a bit then try again but I'm a bit reluctant to go back to the screamy, sweary pain again. Hurt more than my tattoos which I really wasn't expecting.

Has anyone else experienced this with Driclor? Have you found another brand which worked without hurting so much?

TIA

    Mitchum is the best deoderant by far imo

    No stinging and no wetness throughout the day.

    I've tried that a few times but it only seems to work for me for about a month then its not half as effective. Wonder if your body gets used to it and that's why it stops working so well. Thanks tho.

    Hmm, could be but I've been using it for a couple of years now and no other comes close.

    I couldn't use Driclor - it was agony! Like being flayed. Mitchum did nothing for me. I am getting on prety well with Triple Dry - it doesn't sting at all, and I am a lot less sweaty (when I remember to use it - if I am not sweaty I forget!)

    Thanks, will give the Triple Dry a go. Couldn't bear another night with the Driclor.
