THAI Natural Crystal Deodorant Stick (4.25 Ounces)

NOTE: Salt deodorants work by killing the bacteria that cause odors under your arm. It is not an antiperspirant, it's more a natural antibacterial. You will absolutely not like this item if you are looking for something to stop you from sweating. Pros: Last a long time, no odor, natural, no chemicals or additives, works great on under arm smell, lasts a couple days after applied, Cons: not an antiperspirant, some people find it ineffective, easily broken if dropped I purchased this for the first time after trying many, many different types of deodorants and antiperspirant. Between living in Florida and L.A. heat was a given, and sweat happens. I would notice that when I used most deodorants I would not sweat, and there wasn't a "sweat smell" under my arms, but there was a weird unpleasant smell that would happen sometimes. A sort of "dirty deodorant smell" that would appear towards the end of the day and the "deodorant balls" that formed under my arms (yuck) with some deodorants. I tried all sorts of brands, different scents, unscented, roll-on, stick, gel based. Most were fine, no sweat, no gross under arm sweat smell, but by the end of the day it was all the same, almost like the stuff had broken down and got funky. I have a sensitive nose, and even if no one else smelled anything, I did and it was gross. One day I was reading about using salt to kill bacteria that caused odors, and someone mentioned salt for deodorant. I was up for anything so I purchased some. I used it the day I got it, I was sure it would fail, and was actually amazed that it worked. While I did sweat in the heat, there was absolutely no odor, no sweat stains, no clumpy white stuff under my arms. The lack of smell was actually unbelievable. It took me a while to get used to feeling wet under my arms sometimes and not thinking "Oh no! I am gonna smell!" but after a while I just trusted I would not smell even while sweating. My husband, who is very manly and can kick some deodorant butt when working in the yard, tried it after a few months of seeing me use it. Let me tell you now that I really did not think it would work on him and was shocked when it did. When he uses it he can sweat like a pig, but there is no odor. Actually works better for him when he knows he is going to be sweating because most antiperspirant aren't going to stop you from sweating at the gym (or working in the yard) and fail you so why bother. The salt didn't fail and he was odor free... sweaty, but odor free. As an added bonus, I found this out a few times while camping, that if I couldn't put more salt on the next day, as long as you haven't washed it off or showered, it works just the same! I also learned on that same camping trip that if you did start smelling you could rub more salt stick under your arms and it killed the smell within moments (It was a LONG camping trip -lol-). For smelly feet folks it will work on your feet, too. Jump out of the shower, rub it on your feet and between toes if you can, and let it dry a bit before putting on shoes. Wives, get your hubby to do this and you will thank me later. When you first use it it feels like you are putting nothing on and it can be weird. There is no white or gel goop to show you everything is covered. Just make sure to wet the stick and rub it EVERYWHERE under your arms. I actually go up my arm a bit and down my side a bit, not just the center underarm. There is no such thing as using too much, so go to town. After a little while you will get the hang of it and it will be nothing. Putting it on after a shower makes it simple, I don't even dry under my arms, I just rub the salt bar while wet and make it easy. I also took mine out of the bottom part and rub it longways under my arms, it covers much more area per swipe and makes it much faster to apply. Be aware that if you drop this it can shatter and be useless. I dropped mine and had to purchase another after it broke into a million sharp pieces. Overall, I personally LOVE it. I use it everyday, and have never been let down, but I am ok with being wet under my arms on very hot occasions as long as I know I will not smell. For some people this will be a deal-breaker. It will not stop you from sweating, it will just stop you from smelling. If you are ok with that, you will absolutely love it.

For years now I've been wanting to find a way to stop cramming aluminium and titanium into my pores. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that it's bad for you. However, it's hard not to worry that you're going to become the smelly hippy as a result! Honestly I'd rather be that than to get cancer or whatever else it might cause...but social pressure is tough. Thankfully, YOU CAN BE SAFE AND SMELL GOOD. Yes, it's possible and Thai Crystals are amazing. I recently made a major overhaul of my daily hygiene products in favor of non-toxic substitutes. I looked for items that weren't super-expensive, were verifiably safe, and had solid reviews. It was hard to miss Thai Crystal Deodorant Stick on Amazon...so I gave it a shot. I am so glad I did. It's important to note that for about $7 it lasts about a year. I'm just past 3 months and I've probably used about 20-30% of mine. First, about me: I'm 29, male, in good shape, exercise frequently, play sports, and sweat like a maniac. Ever seen Andy Roddick playing tennis and the sweat is just pouring off of him? That's me, without a doubt. Oh and I live in 100% humidity Miami, FL to boot. For years I have tried to find an antiperspirant that did the job...and failed. Even the clinical strength stuff made no difference. I don't think I have any sort of odor problem but there's no doubt that if I don't put on deodorant in the morning I will get stinky by the afternoon. Even with my previous favorite, Axe Phoenix Dry Solid, I knew it was just masking the odor. At the gym I could tell my nice fragrance changed to a still-ok-but-not-so-great mix of odor vs. fragrance. Enter Thai Crystals. I read online that it might take a week of "pit detox" to really see how a new product works. Maybe that's true for someone out of shape but it worked for me right away...and it was better! The perspiration that I never found a solution for is probably still the same - but certainly not any worse. The odor is, in my opinion, better controlled. Unless I'm working out or playing sports I can't smell anything. Even during a heavy workout or a few hours of tennis (outside) all I get is a very natural smelling odor that is hardly what I'd call "BO" and it's not very strong or even noticeable unless I lift my arms and smell. ---3 months of use (threw my old stuff away) and I have not had one person mention that I smell bad (and I've asked my friends to be on the look out!)--- Usage tips: -The mineral salts in this product prevents bacterial growth. As such, it works better if you let it prevent the bacteria to begin with. If you decide to be lazy and skip using it and get a little smelly before you put it on, it won't work as well. It's not bad in that scenario, but less effective. As such: -Use it fairly soon after cleaning under your arms well in the shower. I use it three times a day typically: when I wake up, before the gym, after my shower. -It needs to be applied liberally and it definitely takes longer to do so than normal deodorant - the price you pay for no -iums in your pores. Wet it thoroughly and rub it on back and forth for 20-30 seconds each arm - spread it all around the area, not just the pit itself. -Grip it tightly! If you drop it and it hits the hard floor or counter it's going to shatter. -If you didn't wet it enough (necessary to apply) just wet it again! Don't skimp! P.S. I may be a little OCD but the above worked for me - you may get away with less!

Works better than other natural deodorants, and lasts a very long time.

Goede kwaliteit, maar erg aan de prijs.

Switched onto natural products a couple of months ago and this was one of the first products I bought. Paid £7.20 on Amazon at the time to realise later that cheaper alternatives can be found elsewhere (High Street shops for instance or small, privately owed natural/organic online and 'off-line' shops). On the other hand, I would have spent at least half of this amount on non-natural products so it is worth its price. Bought it over 6 months ago and haven't used a fifth of it yet. As I have used it only in the UK where the summer have not been much present this year, I cannot comment on how it would cope with high temperatures. It has been a pleasure so far, no stains and white marks, very effective and long lasting. I had to reapply it before and after gym but it has been flawless on a day-to-day use. Make sure you use plenty of water to soak your armpits before applying and apply generously in circle motions. A definite recommendation for those looking for an alternative to chemical based products. You can also use this product to stop bleeding from small cuts such as shaving cuts.

Amazing🙌🙌

I was using it dry for 3 weeks))) No effect When wet it's amazing
