Anti-Antipersperant

I was going to call this entry "Deodorant Problem", but realized that would misleading. My problem is with the antipersperant side of things. The problem is when I use deodorant/antipersperants they leave this greasy residue on my shirts, specifically the underarm area. When I use deodorants the problem goes away.

Do I just use too much of the antipersperant/deodorant combo? I try to use a deodorant, but it is hard to get that to work. First, most of the deodorant only sticks are geared towards the hippie-type. They have odd scents like pachouli and lemon grass. I don't want to walk around smelling like someone covering up a marijuana habit. Secondly, they are hard to find. Thirdly, not all deodorants are created equal. My problem lies in the fact that I haven't had an effective deodorant in a scent I like. I have to stop buying all these deodorants, though. Jesse makes fun of me.

Here are my options:

• Suck it up.
• Use my husband's Old Spice deodorant and smell like a man.
• Try a spray-on kind and see if the residue goes away. Hope like mad it doesn't cause lung cancer.
• Try the "rock" or the "crystal" or whatever it is called. Pray it's not just a scam. Have all of my medicine cabinet-snooping friends think I'm a closet hippie.
  
• Go on Oprah with my sob story and win a free house.
  
• Put my problem on the shoulders of the few readers of this blog.

Obviously we all know which option I chose.

Does anyone else have this problem, or am I a lone woman in my sufferings? Do any of the few readers use the spray-on deodorant? Is it greasy too? How about the rock? Does that work?

Please help.
