What Type Of Deodorant Do You Use?

I used to use Crystal roll on deodorant. There was a time that I was on a train for almost 24 hours, couldn't wash up and was too tired to use the shower after my Honorary Son #1 picked me up at the train station in Tampa. It lasted for more than 24 hours. Crystal's new formula does not, so I tried Native stick. It goes on smoothly and the first kind I tried worked well for 48 hours. Just so you know, when I am having episodes of A-fib and when I had COVID, either I was too sick to shower or was feeling weak and dizzy thus didn't want to risk fainting (again).

The second variety of Native I tried (whole body deodorant) did not work for 48 hours. Plus the sticks themselves get used up faster than roll ons. I probably won't purchase stick deodorant again. I tried a spray deodorant but wouldn't buy that again either' it also seems to go faster. I have a cream deodorant that I haven't started using yet.

What do you use....Roll on, stick, spray or cream? Has it ever had to last more than 24 hours? If so, did it work well?
 
I only use Curash Baby Powder. Never seem to sweat, or have B.O.
I used baby powder for about a year after my eye surgeries. I had to use prednisone eye drops afterward and they caused my underarms to be raw...so raw they became pink. I had to use the palms of my hands to wash my underarms, wash clothes hurt. Deodorant burned and corn starch caused a strange odor. I asked my doctor if I could stop the medication but she was adamant that I could not. So baby powder it was.

@OneEyedDiva, I used to use Native, Ron still does, but it began irritating my underarms. Thus began a saga of buying and then throwing away every stick and roll on deodorant on the shelf, all of which had the same effect.

Against my better judgment I began trying the spray ons, and after trying several different ones I ended up with Secret spray. I don’t know why it’s the only one I don’t react to, but at this point I’m going to go with whatever works!
 
I use Sure stick, unscented, clear. Have used this for over 20 years, works fine for me. However, I don't have skin reactions or allergies so there is that. It lasts for several days.

I do not have much body hair, less as I have aged, but back in my younger days, I found that shaving underarms was key to reducing/eliminating body odor.
