Right Guard

Right Guard is a brand of deodorant for men.

The Gillette Company introduced Right Guard as the first aerosol antiperspirant in the early 1960s. [cite web | title = Antiperspirant/Deodorant Stick: History | url = http://www.madehow.com/Volume-5/Antiperspirant-Deodorant-Stick.html | work = How Products Are Made | accessdate = 2006-09-06 ]

Formerly a Gillette brand, in 2006 Right Guard was sold to Dial Corporation (along with Soft&Dri and Dry Idea) for $420 million as a condition for Procter & Gamble's Gillette acquisition.

The brand is mentioned in the Dead Kennedys song "Holiday in Cambodia," with the lyric: "It's time to taste what you most fear / Right Guard will not help you here."
