Strong Antiperspirant
There are so many different brands of deodorants and antiperspirants on the market these days, because not everyone's body reacts in the same way to the same product. This is true of most things in life and sweating is no different. That is why there are so many ways of dealing with sweating. Some people, because of their body makeup, need a very light antiperspirant, whereas others need a strong antiperspirant.
It is this very diversity which makes the commercial deodorant and antiperspirant market, go around. Advertisers, and deodorant and antiperspirant producers alike capitalize on these differences and create mild deodorants and antiperspirants for those of us who only sweat moderately or not at all, and create strong antiperspirant and deodorant brands for those of us who sweat profusely.
When you stop to think about it, is all this advertising just a gimmick to get us to buy their products? Maybe we think we are getting a different product with each different label, but in reality it is all the same product just in a different package. Being a lay person when it comes to advertising and product similarities, the question can't be answered by us---considering the huge number of deodorants and antiperspirants there are on the market.
We should be able to tell the difference when we are using them, even if they are packaged differently. If we were using a strong antiperspirant as the label says, or a light antiperspirant--------then when we use them, we should be able to tell strong antiperspirant from light. Or, are we being blindsided by the advertising campaigns that each has attached to it, so we really can't tell one from the other.
Yes, it's a difficult question to entertain, but there is a simple answer in part. In some instances, we can tell the differences between products and most of the time you will find that the advertising has done the job quite well for us. We could take a men's strong antiperspirant vs. a women's light antiperspirant, and because of advertising lingo we would feel there was a difference even though the product ingredients are the same and in the same quantities.
This is called advertising and it works miracles. There are people who object to the mind playing that occurs with advertising and complain on moral and ethical points, but the decision still rests with the consumer. You take what you hear with a grain of salt, or else spend all day in the market, reading and comparing all the labels.
That however, is beside the point. If a strong antiperspirant is what you want and a strong antiperspirant is what the labeling says it is, then where's the problem? If it looks, acts and works like a strong antiperspirant, then isn't what you're using a strong antiperspirant?
