Review (1/5): I tried, but it didn't work for me
YES! I finally emptied the container, I'm finished and I wont ever use it again.
Unfortunately, I can not recommend this product, as it did not work for me.
PROS:
- Unscented
- Its Natural/Aluminum-free Deodorant (As a former Peace Corps volunteer who completed my 27-month commitment, I really appreciate natural alternatives)
CONS:
- I smelled. Unlike a reviewer who mentioned how they enjoyed letting their armpits breath and bask in the naturalness, I do not, and after about 5 hours my armpits smelled, which means I had to spend the last 3 hours at my office hoping and praying others could not smell me.
- I hated applying/pasting my armpit with deodorant like a savage. Using a small wooden stick to paste deodorant to your armpit feels wrong. After a while i got 'used' to it, but I never liked it.
- I got small red rashes under my armpits. This may be due to the fact that my arms were rubbing together for the 1st time, as I had to trim my hair to get the deodorant to work for more than 2 hours.
- Its expensive AND it only lasted ONE month. Normally, each rolling stick of Gillette/OldSpice will last me at least 3 months....this is just not economical.....$11 for 3 ounces....is a very poor fiscal decision in my book.
Additions:
I really tried. I used the product until every last drop was gone. I wanted to see if my body just needed time to adjust. I noticed that the deodorant last maybe 2 hours with my little armpit hairs, so I shaved, not with a razor, with a trimmer, gave it a nice minimalist look. One month later I still smelled. Daily, I would rush home and use my Dr.Bonners to wash away the armpit funk. God forbid I actually worked up a sweat/perspired from doing something that day, then I would almost immediately smell. It was not enjoyable.
Recommendations:
- Release a version for MEN (in my Ron Swanson voice)
- Eliminate the wooden stick, release a rolling stick version
- Release a larger size, for the same cost (Seriously.)
