Sure for Men Quantum Anti-Perspirant

Advantages: Actually works, nice subtle scent.
Disadvantages: Cost
Sure for Men Quantum is the choice of Deodorant & Anti-personnel that I have been using for the past few years now. I used to use Lynx and other brands, but I got fed up of some of there "scents" and the price of them going up. I switched to Sure as my Dad had used it and seemed to have no complaints.

The can is 21cm tall with a plastic spray nozzle on top. It is green, black and grey in colour, which looks quite "manly" and appealing. On the front it says Sure Men and if you spin the can round you can find all the usual details on the rear. One very useful feature of the can design is that the spray nozzle can be locked by a small flick switch. This stops it from being accidentally sprayed whilst in bags. On the rear, the following claims are made: "Proven to work at 58oC", "1 million molecules of protection" and "Unbeatable wetness protection".

To apply it, you are meant to hold it about 15cm away from your underarm, however I usually hold it a little closer so it is a bit more direct. The deodorant comes out of the can in a fine stream which does not disperse too much. Each can holds 250ml of deodorant, which usually lasts me around a month. If I apply it in the morning, it will usually last all day and stops any sweat patches occurring. On hot days I have found that it doesn't work as well as it states, but it makes sweat patches less visible compared to if I did not have any on at all. As it claims to be a deodorant, I would expect it to have a reasonably noticeable scent, however it has a very subtle scent that is actually quite nice and not overpowering. As an antiperspirant it works very well in most temperatures and it rarely leaves white marks on clothes, however if you want a strong smelling deodorant then it is not that.

Overall, this is a great product for men as it helps to keep you smelling and feeling fresh all day long. Generally one application is enough, however, if you perspire heavily then another spray during the day maybe needed. The only downside to Sure is the cost. Each can will cost about £2.50 from a supermarket, which compared to some of the other brands available is quite expensive. Despite this, I think it is well worth the money as it provides great cover through-out the day and it lasts for a reasonable amount of time. I'll give it a 4/5 as the cost is quite a lot but it does pretty much what it says on the can.
Summary: Great for men!
