What is the difference between an antiperspirant and deodorant?
A deodorant controls odor, while an antiperspirant contains active ingredients that control both odor and wetness.
How do Lady Speed Stick® antiperspirants and deodorants work?
Lady Speed Stick® antiperspirants/deodorants provide 24-hour odor protection using micro-encapsulated fragrance technology. Throughout the day, fragrance capsules release the clean fresh scents of Lady Speed Stick® when odor protection is needed most.
Lady Speed Stick® antiperspirants/deodorants also contain ingredients that work to reduce perspiration to give you 24-hour protection against both odor and wetness.
What's the best way to use Lady Speed Stick®?

Why do we sweat?
Sweat is the body's natural way of cooling down from heat and other stimuli. That's why we sweat whether we're working out or are stressed-out.
What causes body odor?
Sweat contains proteins that are consumed by microscopic bacteria. The by-products released by these bacteria are what cause body odor.
Does eating certain foods cause body odor?
There is no direct scientific evidence linking specific types of foods to underarm odor ... so go and enjoy those spicy foods!
At what age should I start using these products?
Determining when you should start using an antiperspirant or deodorant is a personal decision. Typically, you'll begin using an antiperspirant when you start perspiring, which will be around puberty. When you're ready, we suggest you consider Teen Spirit® Stick, our antiperspirant product designed for teens.
What do I do if I develop a rash from using this?

I heard that there is an aluminum ingredient in antiperspirants that's been linked to Alzheimer's disease. Is this true?
A review of current research on the subject has found no evidence of a proven link between the aluminum ingredient in antiperspirants and the causative agent of Alzheimer's Disease. In fact, aluminum, the third most common element on earth, is essentially found everywhere. Even our daily diet has some aluminum in it.
