Deodorant because it stays on skin not on clothes. If you use Dove. It works. Don't use knock-off deodorant. It sucks and it's too hard to roll on.

Deodorants mask the smell of body odor/sweat, whereas antiperspirants actually inhibit the excretion of sweat. Therefore it depends for what reason you are using it for. If you want to prevent smell of body sweat, use deodorants. If you want to prevent the excretion of sweat in the first place, use antiperspirants.

One of the main ingredients of most deodorants and antiperspirants is propylene glycol. Now why you would want to put that under your arm, next to your lymph glands is crazy!
