Colgate-Palmolive just introduced a new Speed Stick deodorant that features the revolutionary Stainguard with Stain Defense Technology. This innovative line of antiperspirants and deodorants is formulated specifically to help eliminate yellow stains and residue build-up on clothing that deodorant use tends to cause. It’s also clinically proven to provide odor and wetness protection for 24 hours, which is a nice added bonus for those who sweat heavily throughout the day.

Yellow armpit stains have a number of causes, including sweat, stress, diet, detergents, and antiperspirant ingredients. When these factors combine, there might seem to be no stopping the yellow stains from forming. No matter how many times you wash your clothing, the yellow armpit stains will remain, and you’ll end up going through white T’s like toilet paper. By using its patent pending Stain Defense Technology formula, Staignguard improves adhesion and is designed to make sure these stains never occur in the first place

First off, let me say that I have been waiting for a product like this to come out for years. I’m the type of guy that loves to wear jeans and a white t-shirt. Call me simple, but I feel it’s classic American-man attire, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Obviously, nobody can pull off any manly appearance if they have embarrassing yellow stains under their armpits; yet that’s what most men like myself have to deal with. Every man wants to smell good; it’s undeniable that a fresh scented man will win over Mr. BO. But why should I have to sacrifice my favorite shirts for the sake of smelling good? Thanks to Speed Stick and the new Stainguard deodorant line, I don’t have to anymore.

I was very skeptical when I first starting using my Stainguard antiperspirant/deodorant stick. I got the “fresh” scent, and thought it smelled great, and that at least the deodorant aspect would be taken care of. It’s a solid stick, which I was on the fence about at first because I’m used to a gel stick, but the stick went on smoothly, without the reside that other solids leave behind. The antiperspirant worked great, but it was nothing new for Speed Stick. So at that point it was just another deodorant from a trusted brand – nothing new, nothing special.

After I started using it for a couple weeks was when I started thanking the Speed Stick team for making the Stainguard product line. I’m a pretty active guy, and I can honestly say this stick does what it claims to do. My white shirts would come out of the wash without the yellow stains and when I wear it there’s no residue left on my shirts. Bottom line: great scent, great protection, no compromise.
