I am 50/50 for before or after I put on a shirt but it's a night shirt so it's no biggie if I get deodorant on it.
I do keep some in my desk drawer because I do forget every once in a great while - probably once or twice a year and it's going to be on a super hot & humid day when I need it the most. But, I recently found out it goes bad. The stick I had in my desk has been there for years and when I went to use it a couple of weeks ago it was rancid. It smelled like sour rotten vinegar.
I wondered if they could go bad... well they're cheap enough, I think maybe I'll replace mine, just in case!
I use to do either way first or last until I bought the wrong deodorant. Mine use to say little black dress approved and I could put it on first without worrying about white streaks.
Now I have to go back to deodorant after shirt, yup depending on the shirt its either pull one side of the shirt out and go up or through the neck is probably easiest.
Female btw![]()
Well since your deodorant said little black dress approved, I was guessing...

for me, it is applied after showering... Not later, or the next morning... It is bathe, and then apply... Always before dressing... Have to let it dry a little bit. Don't want to think about the whole deodorant mess in the underarms of my bra and clothes!
Now, for my son... it is AFTER dressing... lift up the shirt, insert can of AXE, spray, and go.![]()
My son uses Old Spice... which I used to think of as old man stuff, but have you seen their marketing? they're totally targeting teens!
