Answer:
You're question covers two things:

Different types of applicators and different types of products.

Applicators - you can apply a product to your underarms either with a roll-on, solid stick, cream or spray.

Products - Antiperspirant (stops you from sweating) and deodorant - makes any sweat you do produce not stink (or makes it smell pleasant)

Answer:
I feel that the roll on deodorants are more effective than sprays, however it is good to keep a spray handy so that both you and your friends can use it any time they need to.
Sprays are quick repairs, and so are roll on deodorants, but only if you've forgotten to apply it, not if you're sweating as this largely increases the pungency of the smell. they can be used for other body parts and clothing. They aren't harmful unless they're affecting the ozone layer or if you inhale too much of it.

Hope this helps

Answer:
yes, as long as the bottle states “roll on deodorant” they are both for underarms and are not known to be harmful. (I specified this because some bottles are roll on powders or even colognes.) both sexes (female and male) can use roll ons or the stick or even the spray deodorants. the most important thing about deodorants that you need to remember is to pick one that meshes well with your own body scents. some of the cheaper deodorants don't work very well on certain people and can wind up making them STINK worse than they did before they put on the deodorant. not every deodorant works well on everyone. also, some deodarants can leave behind a white residue, so trial and error is best here-you know, before you try going sleeveless with a whole bunch of tiny white balls underneath your arms.

Answer:
Roll-on is a specific type of deodorant. The others are stick and spray.

It's no problem for either males or females to use any of them. The only thing to be aware of is that for some people a roll-on or stick might make their pits break out into a rash. People who fall under that group should use a spray so they don't have irritated pits all the time.

Answer:
um depends on the brand..
and dont get antiperspirant, it keeps your from sweating, yeah, but it locks in the toxins; because sweating is your body letting out toxins, that's why it happens when you get your blood flow going fast(excersizing).. if you block the toxins in you can become sick.

Answer:
Roll ons ARE deodorant. Roll on can be a wee bit unhygienic, but its vital that you use it if you’ve anyone with asthma around. I advocate Roll on and I think Sure and Dove roll on are the ideal

Roll on is deoderant that is more liquidy and it has a ball at the end kind of like roll on lip gloss and deoderant is more solid. They both do the same job though. I’ve both!
