I have the exact same thing, and ya, i think it is an allergic thing. Im pretty dry normaly, with a deoderant without antiperspirant, unless Im playing sports, when I sweat. But if i wear antipirspirant I soak my clothes with watery, non-smelly water stuff... like sweat but it doesnt smell...
I have really really sensitive skina as it is, so i just avoid anti pirspirant.
Hope this helps, its nothing to worry about, :-D

Is it a roll-on or a stick antiperspirant? I once had a roommate in college who replaced the antiperspirant in my roll-on with a mixture of baby oil and milk. She popped the ball out of the applicator, emptied it and refilled it with the mixture, then popped the ball back in. It looked just like the usual stuff, and I could not figure out why it wouldn't dry!
Take LJ's advice and try a different brand, by a completely different manufacturer. And make sure that it is an antiperspirant. A deodorant stops odors, not wetness, an antiperspirant stops wetness as well as odors. Or you could have a really old one well past its expiry date and is now unsuitable for use.
Good luck!
