Right Guard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Right Guard is a brand of deodorant for men.
The Gillette Company introduced Right Guard as the first aerosol antiperspirant in the early 1960s.[1]
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.[2]
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."
