Lume Whole Body Deodorant - Smooth Solid Stick - 72 Hour Odor Control - Aluminum Free, Baking Soda Free and Skin Safe - 2.6 Ounce (Pack of 2) (Soft Powder)

I have used Lume in the past with great results, but during a move my old stick of Lume disappeared for a couple of years. When I found it a few months ago it was kind of dried out, the coconut scent had vanished, and it smelled like a box of crayons. While it was still effective, I'm not a huge fan of smelling like crayons, so I decided to order some new Lume. I primarily got it because its safe to use in places....other than... my pits if you catch my drift. Also not a fan of aluminum. Lume works like a champ!I'm not really concerned with stopping the sweat, I'm more concerned with stopping odor. I work outside everyday and in the summer I'm drenched from head to toe anyways. So Lume is perfect for my situation. It eliminates all odor, and by all I mean ALL. I don't care who you are or how hard you scrub, at the end of a long hot day outside, your southern hemisphere will have an odor in some form. Lume has eliminated this for me.I have not had any skin irritation at all using Lume. I know everyone is different, but for me there have been no issues whatsoever. It does leave a little bit of a "film" on my skin, I'm not sure that's the right word, it's not greasy or gross feeling, it's more "silky" than anything. Definitely not unpleasant. And I'll take silky over stinky any day. I prefer the way Lume feels over "regular" deodorant.Now for the scent... I have a "super nose" and can usually smell things when others can't so this was probably the biggest and most important factor for me. I ordered the Clean Tangerine, Lavender Sage, and Unscented bundle. Usually any citrus scented products give me a migraine, so I was a little worried about that, but I read so many positive reviews about that scent I decided to roll the dice. It actually smells amazing and I tried that scent today and haven't had the slightest tinge of a headache. I think it's my favorite scent. The lavender sage does smell good, but the tangerine wins. The unscented did have a slight (and I mean barely noticeable if you have your nose right on the stick) "crayon" smell to it, but that does go away after it's applied. I gave my son the unscented stick to try and if it works for him I'll order him a "manly" scent.After I ordered this bundle, out of curiosity, I did some research regarding my original stick of Lume smelling like crayons. I was horrified to read mainly negative reviews about how Lume smelled like swamp butt and sour milk. I was really second guessing my order at that point, not sure if something had changed in their formula since i bought my first stick years ago. Tons of people were being repulsed by the smell of their Lume. There was speculation in many of these reviews and discussions that perhaps only some people are able to smell this and others are not - much like how cilantro tastes like soap to some people and doesn't to others. I must be one of the people that can't smell the foul odor that others do, or perhaps its only the cream that has that smell. I tend to think it's more common to see negative reviews because people are more apt to shout from the rooftops when they have a negative experience than when they have a positive one. It smells great to me! So if you have researched Lume and read all those reviews - just give it a try for yourself.I do find it somewhat difficult to spend so much on a deodorant, but knowing that it can be used ANYWHERE you have odor without worry, I think its worth it. Also, a little goes a long way. It says it works up to 72 hours, but I would rather be safe than sorry so I apply it once a day. Maybe one day I will do an experiment.At the end of the day I'm really happy to have found Lume and I'm so glad there is an effective alternative to applying aluminum to my pits every day that can be used in other places.

I have used this only a few times but so far I like it very much. It worked well, did not leave a residue, and washed off easily. I first bought the Soft Powder scented ones but found that the smell is strong and fights with my perfume so I ordered the unscented and found that it IS...unscented. I read in someone else's review of the unscented, here on Amazon, that it has a smell that fades after 10 minutes and becomes a soft body lotion smell. Well, that gal must have a wonderful sense of smell (and I say that as a compliment) because I don't smell anything, which is what I wanted. I highly recommend the unscented and just want to warn others that the scented ones might be strong though I have not smelled any others. The names of the scents do sound tantalizing though! A thought did occur to me, however: Who doesn't take a bath or shower for 72 hours??? YUCK!

I have eczema-prone skin and this didn’t cause any irritation, even on inner thighs and underboob areas.Q: Would you buy it again?A: Absolutely. It’s a bit pricey, but totally worth it for the comfort and confidence it gives me.⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Great for full-body use, but takes getting used toQ: How is the scent?A: I chose the Unscented version and it truly has no smell, which is perfect for my fragrance sensitivity.Q: How long does it last?A: It lasts about 48 hours for me.
