LumeWhole Body Deodorant - Invisible Cream Stick - 72 Hour Odor Control - Aluminum Free, Baking Soda Free, Skin Safe - 2.2 Ounce (Soft Powder)

I like Lume. It took me awhile to getting around to trying it as I had actually been using a different but similarly effective product for awhile by Boscia. I find that with these products, a little goes a long way. Whether from a tube, or from an applicator, the product is creamy. It spreads well, and rubs in nicely. No need to leave it caked, be sure to massage in until it pretty much disappears. With the applicator, when using anywhere than the armpits, add some to finger tips then spread over body parts.I get a funky smell in the leg area when I have been sweaty. I was taking multiple "bird baths" through the day to freshen up, but it never really made a difference. Using a product such as Lume will knock that out. I massage some into leg pits (where legs meet crotch area), around my belly button, butt area, and any spot that I think could benefit from this stuff. I dont use it on my arm pits as I have plenty of deodorant already for that. But it could be used for that.Basically what this is doing is not masking, blocking out odor, but it has components that help eat bacteria causing odor. This is why it is possible that is can be effective for a few days at a time, even with showering. Now, the time frame of how long it works will depend on your body chemistry, your environment, and even what you wear. My clothing isnt all that breathable so that has much to do with the funk smell. Pools of sweat in hot body regions. Yuck. I use Lume (or Boscia), and I am not stinking. I can swipe my finger along my inner leg crease, and my finger just smells like citrus. I'll use this daily for rest of summer, then likely just a couple few times a week going into cool temps. Or maybe I will just use it daily. Little goes a long way, its effective, smells good. No issues. I'll buy this again.Got a stinky belly button? try this.btw, here is link to the other product I use- same texture, little goes long wayBoscia version https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08W3KK6MB/

This is the best deodorant ever, and especially good if you want an aluminum-free kind. This is not a solid stick deodorant, although it's packaged like one. It has three small slits along the top of the packaging. You turn the wheel at the bottom just like you do for a solid deodorant, and the stuff comes out the top through the slits. When you apply the thing to your under arms, the top of the unit smooths the stuff along your skin. This also makes it really easy to use on other areas as needed, like your naughty bits or under your breasts when they sweat. Just make a little of this stuff come out the top, then use the tip of your finger to apply it to wherever you want it. It's more the consistency of a super-thick lotion-- almost as thick as toothpaste-- instead of a solid DO like you're used to.And yes, it works GREAT as deodorant! I have been working out in the garden until I'm literally dripping sweat, and my pits don't smell, even at the end of the day. I haven't tried it 72 hour DO.Because it's expelled as a very thick substance, I think you could get a bunch out the top and transfer it into a tiny container (like a pill bottle or empty lip gloss container) to take on the go, or put in your travel bag. Just make sure your small container won't open on its own (i.e., get a top that screws on instead of flips up on a hinge).Also, love the smell! I chose Warm Vanilla and really like it. The fragrance is very mild but nice.I like it much better than the MagSol I got earlier. MagSol worked great for several hours, but at the end of the day my pits smelled a little strange: kind of sour. No problems with Lume :)Yes, it can leave traces on your shirt, but that doesn't bother me at all. I just do the same thing I used to with my old solid DO: roll up the bottom of my shirt, so that if there is any transfer, it's on the inside of the shirt. I've only gotten DO on my shirt a couple of times, despite using it for about 3 weeks now. I have not seen that it stains my clothes, and it has not bothered my skin at all. Will buy again, and again, and again!
