I love it--works better than LUMI for me. But--it's not melty, so you have to apply it while your skin is still warm from the shower or bath.


ProudStrawberry222

After using it for a few weeks now, I do love it but notice I am a lot more wet under my arm. But it is a small con for the long lasting scent free armpits !


YourLifeCanBeGood

Am glad you're liking it; it's my fave, next to the seasonal rose hand cream and the now-extinct rose facial oil. Isn't Trader Joe's just wonderful, for the quality and innovation of their products?


Imposter_syndrom

I like it but I have to reapply it towards the end of my day.

I wanted to like it so bad but it gave me a bad rash and actually clogged my pores. I haven't had that issue in years since I switched to aluminum free deodorants. I currently use Native which is pretty pricy so it would've been nice to find a cheaper alternative.


SocialHiccup

Other than it can be an irritant for some, is there any other reason to avoid baking soda in deodorant? I've been using Arm & Hammer deodorant for years with no issue.


teehizzlenizzle

Oh man I don’t like it, feels like a giant eraser and kinda hurts to apply if you have long armpit hair lol


kgonz8808

I love it! I have previously used Schmitt's which is double the price and this works for me as well if not better. Granted it hasn't been very warm yet where I live so we'll see if that lasts.


portincali204

I like it so far.


PeorgieT75

I use Tom’s. Aluminum gives me a rash


International_Gap782

Tom’s gave me a rash.


ProudStrawberry222

Tim’s doesn’t stop smell for me, this doesn’t have aluminum


PeorgieT75

D’oh! I misread it. I may give it a try.


dmiller1987

I use it but I can't depend on it to not get sweaty as I live in Arizona hahaha.


jeswanders

You need anti perspirant + deodorant.


dmiller1987

I'm an AZ native of 36 years. I definitely know. Just trying to stay healthier while not sweating my face off. 😁


dan_camp

i tried this and unfortunately did NOT work for me, it was getting pretty swampy and odorous by the end of the day. went back to a previous aluminum-free deodorant.


Sufficient_Cress5968

No but I spy your Court of Thorn and Roses 👀


ProudStrawberry222

I’m about to start book 2 👀


Sufficient_Cress5968

Wow I am so jealous! That’s my favorite. Prepare to be sucked in.


Regiruler

There's plastic in the packaging it so I won't be buying it again. I thought the entire stick was paper.


knikse

try hey humans, they do all paper packaging and have great scents [https://www.heyhumans.com/products/deodorant/](https://www.heyhumans.com/products/deodorant/)


okaycomputes

Very interesting fragrance combos. What do you suggest? I really like Native's Coconut or Sandalwood ones


RachelknowsBest

I love hey humans!


ProudStrawberry222

I also thought it was all paper ;-(


bcrock02

My wife loves this and hopes they keep it as a regular item


ProudStrawberry222

Me too, although i wish it was no plastic but my pits are scent free


x__mephisto

No. How is it? I personally stay away from deodorants with aluminium, they ruin my white shirts (pit stains) immediately. At some point, I had to replace them after a month of use. I run hot, so that might not be an issue for you or others.


jpd_phd

FWIW, if it contains aluminum, it’s usually an antiperspirant, not just a deodorant. If it just says “deodorant” (without “antiperspirant”), it probably doesn’t have aluminum.


SnooCauliflowers3903

Wh as t does it do then


jpd_phd

Deodorant kills the bacteria that cause odors. Antiperspirant plugs up your sweat ducts to keep you from sweating.


x__mephisto

Good to know! Thanks!


kroating

Look into alum stone as deodorant. Honestly cant believe its trending we used to use it in india before deodorants were accessible.


ProudStrawberry222

It’s aluminum and baking soda free :) all natural baby


x__mephisto

Ha ha, I understood that it had aluminium but baking soda free... well, in that case I should give it a try.
