Women's deodorant

Just out of curiosity, when you all say "stock up"---how many sticks does that mean?  I never really paid attention to how much deodorant I go though, since it's always readily available...

I've already started stocking up on Secret deodorants by just buying them when they're on a really good sale, so my "collection" is only 2 unopened sticks.  How long would that last the average user?  I can't seem to recall the lifespan of a stick of deodorant....

For someone like me I think stocking up is 2 or 3 for the year, I am guessing. If I think hard I would buy it 1 or 2x a year and I lived in Texas where it was MUCh hotter. So grab 2-3 to bring with ya as it can't hurt ;-)

For some reason, I was under the impression that Degree and Dove (the US version, anyhow) were made by the same company?  Am I hallucinating that?  I've certainly found them to work comparably, including not leaving white marks.  I just figured Dove was Degree, with moisturizers and a woman-friendly branding.

I have very sensitive skin and most deodorants used to make me itch, but I've been using a Pitrok crystal deodorant for about two years now and it works very well: http://www.pitrok.co.uk/. And it lasts forever!

I have the Dove stick (I dont like sprays/roll-ons) and it is the invisible one...I have never had a white mark - maybe the kind I have is different?

I use the invisible Dove roll-on (I don't like sprays or sticks) and I don't get white marks either! When I first discovered it, it changed my life!
