1. A product for underarm application, the product including an application surface that contacts the underarm during use of the product, the product comprising

a container, and

a first product portion having a first composition and a second product portion having a second composition, wherein one portion is firmer than, and provides support for, the other portion, wherein both the first composition and the second composition comprise an antiperspirant salt suspended in an anhydrous, hydrophobic vehicle including one or both of a volatile silicone and a wax having a melting temperature of at least 70 degrees C., and both the first composition and the second composition form part of the application surface.

2. The product of claim 1 , wherein the second portion is in the form of a lengthwise-extending stripe extending approximately from a first end of the application surface to a second end of the application surface.

3. The product of claim 1 , wherein the first portion and the second portion each independently comprise at least 15% of the application surface.

4. The product of claim 1 , wherein both the first composition and the second composition further comprise up to 10% by weight hydrophilic vehicle.

5. A product for underarm application, the product including an application surface that contacts the underarm during use of the product, the product comprising

a container, and

a first product portion having a first composition and a second product portion having a second composition, wherein one portion is different in color and firmer than, and provides support for, the other portion, wherein both the first composition and the second composition comprise an antiperspirant salt suspended in an anhydrous, hydrophobic vehicle including one or both of a volatile silicone and a wax having a melting temperature of at least 70 degrees C., wherein, and both the first composition and the second composition form part of the application surface.

6. The product of claim 5 , wherein either the first composition or the second composition is in the form of a lengthwise-extending stripe extending approximately from a first end of the application surface to a second end of the application surface.

7. The product of claim 5 , wherein both the first composition and the second composition further comprise up to 10% by weight hydrophilic vehicle.

8. A product for underarm application, the product including an application surface that contacts the underarm during use of the product, the product comprising

a container, and

a first product portion having a first composition and a second product portion having a second composition, wherein one portion is different in color and firmer than, and provides support for, the other portion, wherein the first composition comprises more than 6 USP weight percent of an antiperspirant salt suspended in an anhydrous, hydrophobic vehicle including one or both of a volatile silicone and a wax having a melting temperature of at least 70 degrees C. and the second composition comprises less than 6 USP weight percent of an antiperspirant salt suspended in an anhydrous, hydrophobic vehicle including one or both of a volatile silicone and a wax having a melting temperature of at least 70 degrees C., the application surface consisting of the first composition and the second composition.

9. The product of claim 8 , wherein the first composition or the second composition is in the form of a lengthwise-extending stripe extending approximately from a first end of the application surface to a second end of the application surface.

10. The product of claim 8 , wherein the first composition comprises from at least 6 USP weight percent to 25 USP weight percent of the antiperspirant salt and the second portion comprises from at least 3 USP weight percent to 6 USP weight percent of the antiperspirant salt.

11. The product of claim 4 , wherein the hydrophilic vehicle comprises a polyhydric alcohol.

12. The product of claim 7 , wherein the hydrophilic vehicle comprises a polyhydric alcohol.

13. The product of claim 8 , wherein both the first composition and the second composition further comprise up to 10 weight percent hydrophilic vehicle.

14. The product of claim 13 , wherein the hydrophilic vehicle comprises a polyhydric alcohol.
