Body odor happens, but with P&G's latest deodorant innovations it doesn't have to.

Old Spice, Secret and Native brands are launching new collections of whole-body deodorants that help you stay fresh from your pits to your privates!

Dr. Maiysha Jones has worked at P&G for over 13 years — most of those years have been spent in our Secret, Native and Old Spice research labs.

What is whole body deodorant?

Different from regular deodorants that are designed and tested for use on armpits, whole-body deodorants are designed and tested for use on pits, privates, and more (for external use only). Dr. Jones shared that four out of five gynecologists and dermatologists would recommend a whole-body deodorant!

“One of the best benefits of our new line-up is that each form, whether it’s a cream, stick or spray goes on clear, so you don’t have to worry about getting white marks on your clothes when you’re getting ready,” said Dr. Jones.

Dr. Jones explains that it’s often ingredients like waxes and large particle size powders that are to blame for unsightly white marks. P&G’s latest innovations take the worry away with formulas designed to go on clear. If you won’t take Dr. Jones’ word for it, check out this demonstration where she puts Old Spice Total Body Deodorant to the test.
