LUME Set of 2 Full-Body Deodorants – Solid and Gentle Bar – Odor Control for 72 Hours – Aluminum-Free, Baking Soda-Free, and Skin-Safe – 73.7 g (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.

This deodorant is a godsend. I’m on medication that unfortunately makes me heat intolerant/sweat more (Vyvanse). I don’t mind sweating, it’s just the body odour that comes with it. I have tried multiple antiperspirants from different brands and even resorted to extra strength clinical antiperspirants, to no avail. If you’re anything like me, I honestly thought this deodorant was bs. No aluminum? how does that fix anything? Well, after trialing as much products as I have, I decided to just give it a try as my last resort before getting botox or some sort of treatment. I am beyond impressed. It doesn’t help with sweating directly (no aluminum), but it has completely diminished my body odour. I can lift my arms with confidence now without fear of it smelling (which probably contributed to me sweating more). While I don’t get the full 72hrs, I can get 24hrs/between showers and that is a win in itself, I was applying antiperspirant 2-4 times a day!!! I would rate this 6/5 if I could, I am a very satisfied customer

I have a tummy that hangs over and the area gets red and sore, sometimes it itches, and has a mild odor, (nothing horrible, but it's uncomfortable). Now that you've had the TMI part, I can tell you that it was COMPLETELY relieved using this solid stick. I have also used the stick that pushes up through holes and it works equally well. I never get dressed without it and it works for a long time. I never need to reapply before my next shower. I also like this scent.

Great product !

Does the job. But also yellows your whites. The armpits of my white shirts have yellowed. Works fine everywhere else. Going to have to use a clear deodorant for the pits again.
