They asked me to participate and write what i thought about one of their new products.
I looked over my choices and decided that since i am a runner (i love saying that) i would be a good candidate for the new Secret Outlast Deodorant.
Because when I go running… I sweat.
I don't glow.
I sweat more now at 37 than i have in my entire life.
My clothes are soaking wet when I get home… so deodorant is a top priority.
I am picky about it though, too.
I only use the solids.
And if I sweat or smell with it on… it's out.
I want to put on my deodorant in the morning and not think about it again until the next day.
I don't want to worry if i smell or if i have sweat rings when I am talking to people.
I am guessing you feel the same way about your deodorant.
Secret Outlast says it can work up to 48 hours!
It will outlast whatever you have going on in a day.
There are two different versions of this product so I got them both.
One scent is "completely clean" and the other is "protecting powder"
They both smell very nice… the powder one smells like… powder. :)
The Olay helps soothe irritation from shaving and conditions your skin.
The applicator is different than most solids.
When the dial is turned the deodorant comes through the vented applicator, and then you apply it.
This deodorant seems lighter than other solids.
It seems more like lotion.
I used it before my four mile run, and i can say that is works!
I really thought it did the job beating the sweat and odor.
If my arm pits were the only part of me that was sweaty i could have just cooled down and gone on with my day.
But after a long run i need a shower for all of the other parts of me that sweat, too.
Trust me.
P&G has a website that has all the information about their new products.
The information is helpful, but what i thought was cool was that you can request a sample of Secret Outlast Deodorant!
And you can receive coupons for their products too!
I like to save money and I like free samples!

ANGEL JACKLYN - 2ND ENTRY TWEET https://twitter.com/kytah00/status/284142013438373888
ANGEL JACKLYN - WELL, I haven’t tried this particular product before, BUT if it’s anything like the “Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant” (same brand… same effects?) then I’d buy it in a heartbeat. It’s so nice when you only have to apply 1 coat of deodorant everyday (verses 5, or 6).
Maria Cantu - I use it already and it is amazing.

kelly sites - I am a busy bee- all day long! I can’t sit still and need to be active and productive. I need a deo. that can keep up with me.
Kelly S.
Larissa - I would love to try this and not worry about being smelly and sweat marks. January will hopefully be bringing exercise back into my life, so I need all the help I can get! My daughter uses Secret and she loves it!
Emily - It would allow me not to even think about sweat marks!
sosimplysusan - Yesss~ thanks for the hookup on the free samples/coupons. I’d seen the Outlast commercials and wondered about how much better that could work. Now I can give it a try without buying a whole stick. 😉
I’m recovering from a shoulder injury and go to PT all the time. It would be sweet to not feel nervous about the potential smell or moisture factor when the nice PT lady stretches my arm up in the air.
Kimber-Leigh - um…the 48 hours part sounds terrific…you know, in case i forget on day 2 😉 love secret’s deoderants. have been a fan for years!
s - Would make me less stinky and hey maybe motivate me to walk or exercise lightly on days I don’t have time to reshower
Heather - Like you, I want to be able to apply deodorant and not worry about it during the day. This would make my life easier because I wouldn’t even think about if I smell 🙂
Vicky - I love to workout. Secret would help me be less stinky.
Lisa - Thanks for this info! I went to their site and requested the coupons and samples! I’m normally not an overly sweaty person, but some days you get the unexpected like this week when I ended up putting up the Christmas tree at my workplace, in the front entry with the sun streaming through the windows. My normal deodorant didn’t really cut it and I worried the rest of the day about if I was smelly. The extra protection would have been nice to have that day!
Holly - Girl, I am a sweaty kind of girl, too. I’ve been doing the 30 day Shred (Yay, me!) and that Jillian kicks my butt so this would be nice to try 🙂
Mary Beth - I’m 51.
I get “warm”.
Several times a day.
It would help.
🙂

Sandy - Would be happy to try a product that actually works!!
Meredith - This Deo might save my Pregnancy! LOL. I am prego for the first time and never was one to really need deodorant. I played year round sports growing up and never sweat. Now that I’m expecting and my hormones are all over the place – I need Deo. I have tried two other brands and have not been pleased. I already went to PGeveryday and signed up for samples and coupons. I am defiantly going to try this Deo! Maybe it will be THE ONE! 🙂
Tiffany - i have not tried this yet…but i need too!!!
i have been looking for something more “POWERFUL”! 😉
kendra - I’m big and fat and pregnant with baby number 5…. any thing to make me feel better (and smell good!) at this point would be great!
Rachel - It would make my life easier because I wouldn’t have to worry about sweat rings when I’m standing up in front of my students in class!
Megan B - I’m a mom of a very active 4-year-old boy as well as infant twins (boy and girl). Some days I don’t get to shower until late in the evening. Or, let’s face it, some days I don’t get to shower at all. So, yeah, sometimes I really do need 48 hours of protection!
Megan - I’m a runner as well, it would help me not be so self-concious that I stink!
Ann - I hate these kinds of posts. Seems like such a sell out.
Beth - Looking forward to trying this. Thanks for sharing your point of view about this product.
Toni :O) - Would love to try, thank you!
rachel - this sounds awesome! it’s on the next walmart list 🙂
Melissa - As a working mom of four kids…showering everyday is sometimes a luxury. I would love the idea of not worrying on those days I may or may not have made it in the shower.
liviva c - https://twitter.com/vivaciousgold/status/277101978780332032- tweeted
Amy - I actually HAVE tried it and really like it. As a full-time work-outside-the-home mom who also volunteers heavily, I’m often gone from dawn until dusk. I used to keep an extra deodorant at work but the Outlast works really well so I don’t have to anymore!!!
liviva c - I would not worry about odor later and have assurance it will take me through the entire day
Kassondra - I am a mommy of three and I babysit 2 other children That’s 5 kids under the age of 7! needless to say I am lucky if I get to shower every other day. Gross I know but it’s true and it’s exactly why I NEED all the deodorant help I can get!
Staci A - I’d love to know that my deodorant is working all day long. Especially because I run around a lot at work!
wendy - i work at a hospital and work 12 hr shifts and run around the entire time… i’ve found very few deoderants that make me confident that i’m not going to be stinky. 🙂 i should try this kind!
Denise C. - I am a runner, and am currently in training for my 3rd half marathon. I also strength train 2-3 times a week. While sweat is great while I am working out/running, it is NOT good for my day to day activities as a stay at home mom! 🙂
Molly - i teach and some days my room is nice and cool and some days it is BLAZING hot! i would like to not smell stinky like my middle schoolers do:)
mami2jcn - tweet–https://twitter.com/mami2jcn/status/277089046155636736
mami2jcn - Secret Outlast Deodorant would make my life easier so that I can exercise and feel like my deodorant is working.
Marla - It would help me work out in public places, like a work out facility or zumba class.
cambria - Garmin is the best thing to have when training for a 1/2 marathon. I had never ever ran befor and I started in May and ran a 1/2 in Oct. I would still choose my iPod over my Garmin, but the Garmin is SO SO SO helpful when you start getting to higher mileage and want to know how much longer you have to go (suffer) =), and what rate you have been running at. I would try to stay at a 10 min. mile for the first 6 or 7 miles and then go down to a 9.30. I would highly recommend getting one, all my running friends have one and we all LOVE them!!!! I got mineo n Ebay for around $140, but if you look hard you can get them cheaper! Good luck, just keep telling yourself. “I CAN DO HARD THINGS!!! I CAN DO HARD THINGS!!!”
Jen N. - I would feel a lot more confident wearing tank tops.
Laura - I have tried it, and it DOES work! I go to the gym (walking on the treadmill) during my lunch hour and don’t have time to take a shower. This Secret does the best job of keeping me “fresh” and socially acceptable to my co-workers. Hey, I haven’t been called into the HR office yet 😉 Merry Christmas, Meg!
Kim - I dont want to stink by the time I get out the door for work. I shouldnt have to reapply after just getting ready.
Linda Totman - Once my deodorant goes on in the morning, I want to know that I’m “protected” all day long … no sweat rings, no stink-o smells coming from my underarms. Simple is becoming my way of life because of some wiser choices and this sounds like another one that I need to make!
Susan C. - I use Secret now, so I will have to give this one a try.
Amber P. - https://twitter.com/arayosu/status/277074461184888832
Amber P. - I don’t want to stink!
Alice H - I have not tried this yet. But I think I will give it a try because like you, I don’t want to think about being sweaty and having BO!! Thanks for the giveaway.
Ann Marie - I haven’t tried this yet! I run a lot and this would come in handy!
Molly B - i want to not be sweaty! : )
