A member asked:

Is a deodorant stick or spray more effective?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Andrew Turrisi answered

You left out: My favorite: roll on gels. These products are chosen for their pleasant aroma, and you pick what you like. There is not clear "top choice" in my estimate.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
