Thank you for reaching out about our Secret Outlast Sweat and Odor Shower Fresh Clear Gel Antiperspirant Deodorant. We're sorry to hear that you didn't receive the wetness protection you were hoping for. We've thoroughly tested our products to ensure they deliver the benefits we advertise, so your report is unexpected. Please be assured that we are sharing it with the rest of our team. As you may know, antiperspirants protect against both wetness and odor. The level of that protection can vary depending on one's body chemistry as well as their activity levels, stress, and diet. If you're willing to give it another chance, we recommend applying the product at night so that it can start working before your sweating increases once you become active for the day. The perspiration plugs set during the night while your sweating mechanism is slower and protects you the whole next day, even if you bathe or shower the next morning. When you have the time, please give us a call at (800) 964-1947 or email us through our Contact Us Page so we can better assist you.
