Not happy with this product
I got this to help with my ear and nostril piercings. My ear piercings  had tightened up after many years of not wearing jewelry. I could barely fit standard earrings in but the left side would hurt after a short time and I would have to remove it. My piercer stretched them just to a 16g. My nostril gets a little sore and irritated when removing and inserting jewelry for cleaning.<br />Even though I shower and scrub my ears and jewelry daily I sometimes get that funky yeasty cheesy smell. I found out that can happen when they have been stretched, even if just a small amount.<br />I also wanted something to make inserting earrings and nostril rings easier.<br />So enter Smelly Gelly. Something I tried to put on my skin and jewelry.<br />Pros<br />Cute little tin.<br />I would imagine even with this small amount that it would last a lot time.<br />After cleaning and applying in the morning I didn’t notice a cheesy smell at bedtime like I sometimes do. Although by morning it was back and yes I used fresh pillowcases.<br />Low product price<br /><br />Cons<br />Shipping is an extra cost. Not prime and not free.<br />It’s a hard wax. Even warming it with my hands it stays just a hard, tacky wax.<br />It didn’t lubricate my jewelry to make it any easier to insert.<br />It smells like oil that has gone rancid.<br />I had to stir it up to get any scent besides old oil to appear.<br />The only faint scent that came out when stirred was maybe of eucalyptus.<br />When used in my nostril jewelry I was stuck with the rancid oil smell all day.<br />It did not help with nostril irritation from changing out jewelry.<br /><br />I’m really bummed as I went back and forth deciding between this and similar products. I went with this because I wanted the essential oils that the other products were lacking.
