!!Product Recommendation!!

I dont know about anyone else, but Ive never been able to find an anti-perspirant/deodorant that actually seemed to help with the sweat. Ive dont really have BO unless I go a few days without a shower, but the anti-perspirant part has been failing me since I began using them. Until yesterday. I got some of that new Mitchum Smart Solid Clinical Performance and it is amazing. 2 days, and not just no moisture on the pits of my undershirts, but no moisture in the actual pit! I was even driving around for a couple hours today - windows down, no A/C - in over 90 degree weather, and my pits stayed as dry as Betty White's vag. This stuff is unbelievable, and unlike all the other brands "clinical performance" versions of AP/deodorant that cost $8 a stick, this stuff is less than $4 a stick. I think Im in love  :-*


So yeah, I figured Id give all you other people who have sweaty pits the heads up, and also feel free to use this thread to recommend other products, appliances, porn websites, electronics, clothing, whatever.

Certain Dri is your friend

Blows anything else out of the water, er perspiration.

Stick with a good deodorant instead of antiperspirant. The latter has links to cancer including lymphoma since it uses aluminum. Plus, we are supposed to sweat and let out pores breathe.

Eh, if I get cancer its probably not because of my anti-perspirant.

I'm an old spice solid antiperspirant guy (who even uses the gel?). A guy I went to high school with had a problem with pitting out. Mitchum didn't work for him. During class we'd see how many layers of paper towels it would take for him to pit through his shirt. It was that bad, he eventually had to get his sweat glands removed.

Old Spice couldnt stand up to my pits, although its been years since I tried Old Spice

headdy, what you are going through is completely normal.  there comes a time in every mans life when our bodies start to change and hair starts to pop up in places we never expected.  Not to fear, your pubescence will end in time.  

I'm with Jaime tho, I heard that shit gives you cancer.  I make a habit of showering before I go out.  If I'm going to sweat I'm going to sweat, if I'm going to be putting my pits in people's faces I'll use a little d-o for my b-o but not really my thing anymore.   Pit cancer is a leading cause of death in America.

Nope.  It's a roll on you put on before you go to bed and, voila you're dry as a bone the next day.  

I used to sweat profusely from the armpit region.  This is a miracle drug for damn sure.

I had a really bad callus on the pad of my left foot from whatever. It got to the point where I had to walk on the sides of my foot because it was that painful. I used Dr Scholls callus remover pads and the liquid callus remover, and it didn't do the trick. I just used the Pet Egg for the first time and it worked, holy!

Nice thread.  I haven't received this yet, but based on my level of excitement...and I had a friend who has sat/lounged on one...I feel I can recommend this...further review later.  Expensive, but I can't wait to try it out.  I got the Super Sac on clearance for $599.00 instead of $719.00.  Wanted to go for the Big One, but it literally wouldn't fit in the room I want to put it in, not without clearing everything else out...

So Im getting an HDTV for Xmas and Im sure many people here already have one, so wondered if anyone really liked their TV a lot?? Id also like to know how long youve had it as durability is important to me and why Im pretty much set on going with either a Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, Samsung, or Sharp...My price range is ~$500-600 which is leaving me between deciding on a 40-42" as the size and either a LCD 1080p 60Hz or a Plasma 720p 600Hz..

I was raised by my Dad to trust Consumer Reports.  I'll PM you my online login creds so you can do some research.  I must say they make pretty solid recommendations with price and quality well balanced.  

We got a Vizio 37 inch LCD 1080P screen from Sams Club for $400.  I'll get a bigger screen when my kids are a bit older (and more trustworthy).  I've been very happy with it and it was a top recommendation from CR.

This one's about $600, but holiday pricing is gonna be crazy.

Samsung LN40C530

CR's Take

This 40-inch 60Hz Samsung 1080p LCD delivers excellent HD picture quality (and very good SD picture quality) at a comparatively low price, earning it a CR Best Buy designation. The set includes ConnectShare, which lets you play movies, digital photos or music stored on a USB or hard-disk drive.

If I were buying a new HDTV (I've had my 44 inch for 5 years and still loving it), I'd go with 120Hz and 1080p. 60Hz is being phased out.

Please correct me if my info is outdated. I believe the only reason (at this point in time) to go 1080p is for Blu Ray. Cable HD is only broadcast at 720p. Just something to consider as the 720p sets are a bit cheaper.

You are partly correct. Some networks are in 720p or upconverted SD (standard def), but many others are sending out 1080i signals (and there's still no concensus whether 720p is equal to 1080i). But the really good looking HD live events such as NFL, MLB etc... or even American Idol are likely broadcast in 1080i (which is more of a raw feed). Also, not all TVs are built the same and you'll be able to see differences in quality the better your flatscreen is. As a Blu-ray owner and TV network employee, I can tell you that HD-HBO looks just as great as a new Blu-ray movie. The sound is arguably better on Blu-Ray, but the work people do to convert DVDs - or film - to HD-TV keeps getting better.  

And one more thing: if you go 42-inch or higher, get a TV that is 1080p.

Ah, I see. Danke, good sir! That's great info :)

I agree, but thats where my price range comes into play (and isnt really flexible because its going to be a gift for me). Sticking to those brands mentioned, a 40" LCD thats 1080p and 120Hz is abour $200 outside of my price range. I could get a 32" thats 1080p and 120Hz, but everything Ive read said the difference between 720p and 1080p in sets under 50" is neglible, plus Im kind of set on getting a TV in that 40-42" range. When I was at Best Buy the other day, I looked at a 42" Panasonic Plasma 720p 600Hz and Sony 1080p 60Hz side by side for about a half hour. When standing close, a couple feet away, the Sony's picture definitely looked more crisp and not pixelated, but when standing about 8 feet away - in the range of where TV's of this size should be viewed from, I couldnt really tell a difference. You think there is a noticeable difference in 42" as opposed to starting at 50" though?

I actually wasnt even considering Plasma at first, but I thought its color tones were visibly better when seeing the 2 side by side - and this was in the department store whereas Plasmas are supposed to be best in darker environments to truly see their better black level. Plasmas are also better for sports and movies, and thats at least 80% of what I'll be watching on the TV (plus the 600hz refresh rate compared to 120 or 60hz also helps here).

After talking to DirecTV last night and finding out itll cost over $200 just to get an HD Receiver and have it installed (PLUS a new 2 year agreement!!), Im leaning even more towards the 720p Plasma since who knows how long itll be til I get that rip off installed.

Im definitely going to check out Consumer Reports - Thanks Yac! - to see what they say and get some more information.
