Welding stress in the test: These men's deodorants fail miserably!
Ruhr, Deutschland - The Stiftung Warentest recently tested 15 deodorant and antiperspirant products for men for their effectiveness against sweat. The test took place at the beginning of May 2025 in a special sweat room, in which the conditions were 38 degrees Celsius and 35 percent humidity. The tested products come from drugstores such as DM, Rossmann and Müller and vary in the price range of 0.43 euros to EUR 20.26 per 100 milliliters. The products were evaluated on various criteria such as sweat reduction, protection against armpit smell, friendliness to use and environmentally critical substances. Only six of the 15 tested products met the requirements for protection against sweat and smell. Ruhr24 reports that the test winner "Seinz. Extra Dry ”from Lidl.
Both products offer effective protection against sweat smell and keep the armpits pleasantly dry. During the test showed that four products were rated "sufficiently" and failed to protect against wet, were among the worst products "Isana Men Men Motion Motion Protect" by Rossmann, "Aveo Men Sport" by Müller, "Men Wild Oak Anti-transplansant" of 8 × 4 and "Lacura Men Antipanspranslant Sport Defense" from Aldi. These products generally generated trust in their advertising promises, since they often did not even maintain the promised 24 hours instead of 48, 72 or even 96 hours of protection.
evaluation criteria and environmental impacts
The Stiftung Warentest not only tested the effectiveness of the products, but also examined their ingredients. Nine antiperspirants in particular contain environmentally polluting substances that are difficult to break down. Among these critical ingredients was the silicone D5, which can be enriched in organs and is to be banned in antipersanties from 2027, but is currently still allowed. Volksfreund informs about the high load by such fabrics and warns that many manufacturers often do not use extreme advertising promises that are often not adopted can.
In addition, the Stiftung Warentest emphasized that the protection against armpit smell and the application were also taken into account in the selection process. The products from DM, especially the "Balea Anti-Transpirant Original Dry", were also highlighted as test winners under the deodorants and show that cheap own brands of discounters and drugstores do better than often assumed. chip reports that the sweat reduction in this category is better than ever thanks to modern test methods.
In summary, it can be said that despite the multitude of products on the market, the quality and effectiveness of many deodorants and antiperspirants remain behind expectations. Consumers should therefore trust in the selection of their deodorants for tested test winners to ensure a safe feeling in everyday life.| Details | |
