A good workout routine means you are going to work up buckets of sweat. Working out attire that you wear during your workout are usually designed to wick sweat away from your body. This will eventually lead to them accumulating odour that can deeply set into the fabric. When this happens, your standard detergent is not going to get the job done.  

While regular detergent may not work well, we have discovered the five-best detergent for workout clothes that the market has to offer. Find out more below!

OxiClean Detergent for Gym Clothes

Oxiclean works fantastic. Also works on sweat stains on ball caps if you wear one working out.

Poppy from The Barbell Beauties community

It has earned its reputation as the go-to product for tough stains on laundry and the power to eliminate almost any odour. It is duped as America’s No.1 versatile stain remover as it harnesses the power of oxygen to get tough stains out and rinse them away.

---

Persil Laundry Detergent for Odors and Stains

Works great when I run Spartan and for those musty towels my kids ball up in the corner of there room.

Meegen from The Barbell Beauties community

One of the keys to successful odour removal you’re your workout clothes is getting rid of the bacteria that gets trapped in the fabric. Theoretically, to break the bond between the body soil and the fabric, the detergent you use must have enough enzymes to dissolve the oily molecules. With Persil laundry detergent, all formulas under this brand contains a high-level of enzymes and will do an excellent job in removing odours and bacteria from your workout fabrics.

---

Tide Sports Detergent

I smell fresh and the colours never run when I started using this.

Jessica from The Barbell Beauties community

Tide and Downy offer a multi-product solution when it comes to removing odors and keeping your workout clothes fresh and clean. This laundry detergent comprises all the necessary enzymes to break down and remove surface odors and stains with an Active Fresh Scent.

---

Rockin Green Detergent

It’s absolutely amazing. It uses enzymes to actually break down the stuff instead of mask it with fragrances. Healthier to use, too!

Alura from The Barbell Beauties community

This detergent contains a filth fighting enzyme blend that fights stains and smells without harming cloth fibers. The brand has four main mantras that they strongly believe in which is more bang for your buck as their detergent is super concentrated hence you only use 1/8 of your usual amount, eco-friendly because at Rockin’ Green every ingredient is 100% natural, plant based and biodegradable. Last but not least, the other two mantras are 100% cruelty free and 100% safe for sensitive skin.

As we speak, CrossFit is an activity composed of multiple heavy workouts that’ll get your body moving in different strenuous ways. Any CrossFit garment should never hinder your workout.

If you are worried when performing a specific exercise because it might reveal some of your personal and private parts then it’s time to get yourself a really nice workout shorts intended for CrossFit. Something that draws moisture away from the body, spreading it out, to evaporate easily on the outside of the fabric. So, you stay cool and dry.

It should also adjust and stretch itself with any sort of extreme physical activity but holds itself on to the skin therefore it makes you feel secured. This garment needs to move and help you be more comfortable and confident, not make you feel insecure and restrict from doing CrossFit. They should never ride up, bunch up or hold moisture next to the skin, never give you camel toe and oh one thing I almost forgot! Haha! It shouldn’t be see-through 😉 you know what I mean.

So, without further ado, below are some of the most recommended CrossFit shorts that’ll help you keep moving confidently and easily. Enjoy CrossFitting ladies!

WODBottom Womens CrossFit Shorts

I’ve tried 5 different brands of workout ‘booty’ shorts and these are the best! They don’t roll or ride up! and even though they are white, they aren’t see-through!

Mary from the Barbell Beauties Faceboook group

WOD Bottom has been a go to work out shorts for women lifters. The booty shorts are their best-seller as the material is comfortable, breathable, and it passes the ‘squat test’.

---

Lululemon WOD Shorts

The Lululemon run speed shorts are the best I’ve ever found. Don’t ride up, don’t fall down, not sheer. I like the 2.5 inch inseam but they also come in a 4 inch I believe.

Lydia from the Barbell Beauties Faceboook group

If you are someone who doesn’t like tight shorts, then this one is best for you! For someone like me who doesn’t care for a having little loose at the bottom of the shorts, this is perfect! I don’t want any clothing to be touching my skin the entire time. It is lightweight, breathable, simple yet classy!

---

Lululemon Sculpt Short

I know Lululemon is pricey, but I have their sculpt short that I have worn for almost 10 years that look and feel the same as the day I bought them. Worth the investment!

Susan from the Barbell Beauties Faceboook group

Another win from Lululemon! High waist short, thus supporting the lower abdomen and the back properly enough which also offers more length than any other shorter shorts and has free extra wide waist band panel, built for comfort. This one seems so flattering on your hips, and thighs!

Under Armour Women CrossFit Shorts

Which not all of clothing brand consider of especially that we are doing CrossFit here. It is nice that they include this feature as we sweat a lot and this is perfect for us to protect also ourselves from harboring unwanted bacteria.

---

Jaco Gym Wod Shorts Womens

This covers your lower abdomen comfortably, kind of a mid-high waist shorts. Has heavy gauge waistband for support & secure fit. Another amazing feature is it has a Cell Phone sized Velcro close side pocket. This is perfect for someone who loves running and bringing out their phone with them, playing music and stuff.

Another one that has an antimicrobial feature. It is Regular fit – not too tight or too loose, so a lot of enough air can come through to your thighs. Never ride up and thus wont give you a camel toe.

---

Baleaf Women’s High Waisted Yoga Shorts

I picked up several pairs of these last week and love them. 7″ inseam; they have met the running/burpee/squatting test. If you’re not 100% comfy in just spandex shorts, I’ve also worn spandex with soccer shorts over them, too.

Amanda from the Barbell Beauties Faceboook group

Another high-waist, long shorts. Very comfortable and breathable. They do stay in placed even with the most high-intensity, rigorous, extreme workout you might want to dive in. A good investment for long term use!

Sweating, or perspiring in response to an exercise activity is actually healthy as it secretes a hormone known as endorphins; a chemical that reduces stress, boost self-esteem and improves sleep. With that being said, it is likely to know and notice that endorphins trigger a positive feeling in the body, thus makes us happy or euphoric.

However, when we sweat, we also release some bacteria that is why sometimes our body-sweat is accompanied by a foul-smelling odor.  Some ladies just sweat a lot! I mean literally, excessively sweating; And it’s just too uncomfortable for them while working. In this article we gathered some of the best deodorants that could help with our fellow CrossFitters, and not just that! They are all natural 😉paraben free and no other cell damaging ingredients involved. So, let’s just jump right into it! 😀

Native Natural Deodorant : Coconut & Vanilla

This particular deodorant gained rave reviews online. I am not surprised! Just look how moisturizing and gentle the formulation is. They’re paraben-free, leave no residue, and won’t get clumpy under your underarms, so liberating when you raise your arms 😉. One member of our community recommended this and she said,

“I also ❤️ Native. The vanilla coconut smells soooo good”.

Tom’s of Maine Natural Deodorant, Fresh Powder

“Our Passion is Natural. Your care is personal”, wow! that one is a good slogan! They are one of the best and most love deo out there! Who wouldn’t? it last for 48 hours odor protection, packed with goodies like zinc oxide to freshen and beeswax to condition skin. So, you can assure a long-lasting protection for 48 hours! Again, 48 hours!

I use Toms. I am currently trying native but it does the same as Toms and Toms is cheaper

Kopari Natural Paraben Free Deodorant

A coconut-oil based deo, glides on very smooth and clear, non-sticky; Absorbs sweat and neutralizes odor without leaving your body any harm as it is paraben and aluminum free 😊. Such a nice and very friendly to use!

Natural deodorants – Kopari is working well so far. Been using a few months. I shower after I workout and apply again. Nothing else I’ve tried has come close to working.

Lume Aluminum Free Deodorant

If you have loved Tom’s due it’s long lasting odor protection, this one-Lume- is the bomb! As it can offer you a 72-hour (clinically proven) odor protection! Say whhuuuut! Haha! Incredibly impressive! This brand only releases two years ago, 2017 but it is actually giving us reasons to love their product. Paraben and aluminum free, and the first deo that is safe to use in other parts of the body! And if you are concern in having rashes, don’t worry no more! As it has no baking soda ingredient involved! Yuppieee!

LOVE Lume! Honestly the best deodorant I’ve ever used. I didn’t experience any sort of ‘detox’ period’.

Primal Pit Paste Natural Aluminum-free Deodorant

This brand has received tremendous awards including: VEGNEWS Magazine – Best Fitness product of 2013, Best SKIN CARE – Paleo Magazine 2014, CosmoProf Beauty Pitch winner – 2016, Best Paleo Body Care – Paleo Magazine 2016. You see guys this brand has been proven out its content already, this is not just your typical “natural, aluminum-free deodorant” but this one actually works!

I love my primal pit paste deodorant! There was no detoxing phase for me though. Best change ever next to changing to their tooth paste!”

Barbell Beauties member

---

Routine Baking Soda Free Deodorant

Everything in our list is purely natural and safe for our body to use but one thing that this brand caught our attention is that it is one of the deodorants who doesn’t test on animals. So much respect for this brand! Of course, we all want to look good that’s why we all have this beauty products here and there, but being mindful of our whole environment including animals’ safety should be our concern too!

Another thing, they have packaged their deodorant in glass jars, meaning less plastic (plus they’re beautiful and can be reused!). The commitment to the environment is very visible as you can see how they manufacture their products.

I’ve been using Routine. It’s an all-natural charcoal deodorant from Canada. I love it and I sweat a lot as well. Takes time to transition to chemical free but worth it!.

Barbell Beauties member

Secret, Clinical Strength Native Deodorant

There’s no secret in secret; Just like any other natural deo, it is aluminum free yet it refreshes you all day long. It defeats both sweat and odor at the same time. Most antiperspirant just minimize the odor of your armpit however; secret minimizes your sweat flow too! Amazing combo!

Clinical Strength Secret….the only thing that works for me!

Barbell Beauties member

---

PiperWai Natural Deodorant

Famous for their stint on Shark Tank, here comes the original as the PiperWai was one of the first to bring natural deodorant to the masses. For better application this deo comes in a pot, so you’ll need to apply it with your fingers, like you would a face cream. I personally preferred this way!

I started using this and I really like it.

Barbell Beauties member

Soapwalla Deodorant Cream

Made out from the owners’ kitchen herself; this brand makes sure to deliver the best product for our underarms so they even partnered with small farms to ensure that they receive the best materials, without compromising their dedication to the environment. They do not just offer deo’s, but they do also have other organic face and body products including cleansers, toners, moisturizers, bath soaking salts, hand and body wash.

It contains superfine vegetable powders and clays to absorb sweat, along with lavender, peppermint, and tea tree essential oils to mask any odors. A good pick for me!

---

Weleda Natural Deodorant Spray

Compared to the previous suggestions above, Weleda comes in a spray form. It uses pure essential oils to omit bad odors. “It’s free from synthetic preservatives and fragrances, colorants, and raw materials derived from mineral oils.” For its worth, essential oils have been proven to restore and cure certain body concerns; With that being said, Weleda is a real deal here!
