Regular deodorants and even some of the natural ones still cause me enough issues that no I will never use a whole body. I think it's just another tactic to make a super conscious of our bodies and not smelling like flowers and soap 24/7.Rather than getting used to like normal fucking smells not saying that I want to smell your pits but smelling a little sweaty is not a bad thing. It p***** me off seeing them.Selling whole body deodorant to know every brand is.I just see it as a cash grab and the fact that it had been putting out ADS all over the d*** place.And now everybody's got one makes me so adverse to it.I will never buy it.I don't care if it's required by law at this point. There are other countries that simply don't sell deodorant at all. Like the normal armpit guide, it doesn't exist. You have to special order that s*** Why? Because people just don't use it. They don't need it because they don't have the stinky. Sweat, or they're used to normal smells around their society and culture to where they don't buy it. I see this as another capitalistic hellscape. B******* thing to make people feel awful and cause more body. Does morphia than we even f****** know?

I can understand if someone doesn't want that "old person smell" and would like a full body deodorant, though I don't think it's necessary and people don't judge that smell like they do with regular body odor. For most of us showering and general good hygiene is enough, I can honestly say I've never stood next to someone where I could smell if they had sweat "down there" and most people probably aren't getting that close. I feel like it's just yet another product exploiting womens insecurities about the way our lady parts smell, like it should smell like roses or something because they always emphasize it can be used in that specific area. I wouldn't be surprised if it was like most lip balms where the more you use it, it makes you need to continue using it or else you smell worse than before by messing up your natural microbiome or something.

I have rarely, if ever, seen full body deodorant marketed towards men. I know Old Spice was included here, but all the commercials I've seen have women spraying their crotch. I agree that it just seems like more misogyny -- at least in the marketing. I wash when I am dirty, I sweat when I'm hot, and my boyfriend likes the way I smell. If anyone else is close enough to smell my crotch sweat, they're too damn close!

As a woman who has used old spice for a very long time, the scent “Oasis” is literally vanilla ice cream. But like ~fancy~ vanilla ice cream. It’s doesn’t come off as a “masculine” scent at all, it’s pretty unisex. My personal favorite scent that I’ve tried is Deep Sea, which is a musky citrus. It’s quite masculine, but I prefer that. Some of their scents come in a “Sweat Defense” formula which is 19% aluminum. I really like those because I work in a factory. I’ve also noticed that most of their scents are free of the common fragrance allergens that have to be listed in ingredients lists, which is nice.

@TheDriftwoodlover Ай бұрын

Cassandra, yes, I have used Lume (pronounced Loo-me) for a few years. You may have received stock when the product did have an odd odor to it. They changed formulation and that odor is gone. They also now have antiperspirant. The new formulation may be why you didn’t notice it in the body wash, which is newer. If I were you, I would contact the company for clarification (maybe they can identify age by lot numbers on your items?). I do find it lasts 3 days as they claim. I started using it because I walk my dog twice a day and was tired of always stinking and not wanting to shower twice a day. Because you don’t have to apply daily, because it’s expensive the product does not have to be repurchased as often and they have sales that are pretty good. I’m 68 and concerned about the nonenal odor too. They have a laundry soak that got the baked in odor out of my bras. Expensive but worth it. The bottle lasts a long time. Used to use Native but finally determined a large red area under one arm was likely from their product. It took months to clear up. Maybe from the essential oil fragrance used? Unfortunate as I wanted to support the brand and that’s what drove me to Lume.

As soon as you said you hated the smell of one I knew it was going to be lume. Like other people had said, their old formula smelled worse (although I never minded it much) but I've tried a bunch of other deodorants and found they either just straight up don't work or I hated their smell more. Half of Native deodorants just smell like febreeze to me and I despise it. I don't sweat very much, but lume is the only product that actually keeps my pits scent free all day no matter the weather or my activity level. I like the new formula coconut vanilla, but at the end of the day I'm guessing there's just going to be people who are more sensitive to the smell. I'm glad we're in an era of so many options.

What's scary are the feminine hygiene sprays and deodorants (and those scent douches)-those cause irritation. In the 70's they were huge.

The companies do not care. And we do not need a whole-body deodorants or whatever. Take a darn shower. The marketing of these things is dangerous.

I use Lume! It's my main underarm deodorant. I used antiperspirants growing up, but in recent years I started getting a reaction in my underarms so I had to switch to deodorants without aluminum. I have tried several deodorants without antiperspirants (Native, Saltair, Myro, Salt and Stone, powder deodorants) and while they did not cause the same reactions to my underarms as antiperspirants notoriously did, they either did not last as long as claimed, would pill when applied, or would cause a dandruff like effect on my underarms (possibly from those with baking soda based formulas). I liked the original Saltair refillable stick I just had a texture issue I could not get used to. I wanted to try their serum deodorant, but when Lume reformulated I had to go back. Saltair's deodorant is mainly a Salicylic Acid based formula if I recall correctly and Lume is Mandelic Acid based, so that's what makes them good at preventing odor causing bacteria. The old Lume formula did smell bad but was supposed to dissipate after application. In my opinion, it never smelled THAT bad, just kinda like a sour acidic undertone that went away eventually. Obviously, it bothered a lot of people and I probably got a better batch of it. This new formula definitely helped get rid of that sour acidic smell, so I feel like you may have gotten a bad batch of the reformulated Lume. They also now have an antiperspirant version that you might prefer. Overall, I get that "whole body deodorant" became this annoying trendy gimmick, but I'm so glad to have this wide variety of deodorant/antiperspirant options now. I went so long afraid I was just gonna stink with whatever "natural" deodorant was available, but getting a "you smell really nice" even after a long day of sweating feels like such a win.

I do like the scent. The caveat she should have used was that we all have our own chemistry which will affect how we perceive odors. I LOVE that it doesn't stain clothes, love that. Antiperspirants were destroying my clothes

I absolutely love Lume! I have really sensitive skin and pits and have tried a whole host of deodorants and have found that Lume works the best for me. I don't have issues with the product smelling bad. I use both the paste and the stick in the tangerine scent. I think this is a bit of both, personal preference as well as how certain products react to your own body chemistry.

Thai crystal deodorants (the sticks and sprays) are very effective for overall body odor control on ALL body parts. Witch hazel also works as well.

I use Lume and it works really well for my underarms. The acid they use in thier formula smells putrid, fr BUT once it soaks in it doesnt smell anymore. There is nothing wrong with having a mild scent to your vagina. However, if its close to your cycle you may have a strong scent and its normal. So, when that happens you can use Lume to control some of that scent. Lastly, ive also found it to be a confidence booster when Im getting 🙇 down there! Since his face is going to be close, its nice to know there wont be much scent. So ill shower, rub some on my palms and then dab it around the vagina. Once it absorbs, its oderless and it gives me confidence after the dinner date for the "desserts". All and all, its a great product for me bc i also have an active job and go to the gym!

I’ve been using lume since beginning of November 2023 and I just bought my second tube.. The smell is funky, I definitely recommend scented over unscented (my first tube was unscented and I went for scented on round 2). But I shower at night and put this one twice a week fresh out of the shower, and let it soak in over night and I have no issues with the texture doing it that way. Plus no stains on my clothes. Most importantly it handles my body smells very well. I also like that my armpits are smoother than they used to be due to the exfoliating acid used in the product. I haven’t consistently used it below the belt but love it for pits and boob sweat. I’ll also say I have hidradenitis suppurativa and I believe the acid helps keep my pores and sweat glands from clogging so my HS in my under arms is almost non existent. I’m a fan despite the odd smell. I only smell it for a minute and then it soaks in and it’s gone… just smell the rose scent after that first minute.

Thanks for the video, Cassandra! These are completely unnecessary products, but sadly, people must be buying them, or they wouldn't be everywhere. They can even be harmful in that people are applying fragrance to delicate parts of the body. I use Vanicream antiperspirant which is the only completely fragrance free product of this type that I've been able to find. (And I apply it ONLY to my underarms!) There are some products that claim to be unscented or for sensitive skin - specifically, Secret and Dove - but they have masking fragrances in them. And if a person has extreme body odor issues that can't be handled with regular baths or showers, and antiperspirant applied to the underarms, they need to consult a dermatologist.

I tried going back to the original scent that I used and I still had a reaction (although less severe). So, I stopped using it. Also, I do remember the founder of lume posting a video one time about how people were complaining about the scents and said that there is an ingredient in the deodorant that some people are really sensitive to so they tried to put out a scentless option but it didn't really work because those people were smelling the active ingredients in the product, not the added scent.

My brother is special needs. He was abused as a baby before my parents adopted him which caused brain damage. Due to this he had to go to speech therapy and his mind develops slower. He is 25 but has the mindset of a 15-17 yr old in most cases but has to be reminded to shower and to do hygiene so we made sure it was always done. This kid also has (im not sure what it was called) a health condition where his feet always smelled awful and he went to the doctor so many times as a kid. As he grew up the sweating/ BO issue got worse and was all over his body. He also developed a binge eating/ stress eating disorder. Kids bullied him and he turned to food and got up to almost 400lbs. Hes also 6ft 3 so big guy. He lost 100 lbs and is at 300 now but again his sweating issue got worse with weight gain. He could take a shower and within 2 hours smell again. My parents were relieved when Lume came out because it did really help him. He puts it on wherever he sweats the most including his feet. (Yes he is big but he had this issue when he was a skinny little preteen kid) We are both adopted and I thank the universe every day for my 3 brothers. This stuff solved a big issue with only a small population of people that went unseen.

“Old people smell” starts at 40? Wow. That is hardly old. I just thought that smell was the clothing. Not everyone older has this. Some absolutely do. Could you talk more about Nonenal? As far as Lume goes, I believe the stench is from the Mandelic Acid. It also seems to be the ingredient that stops the bacteria from growing, which cuts off or at least reduces the smell. I looked up other deodorants that use Mandelic Acid and there are many bitter complaints about the smell. If anyone wants to know, I would describe it as “putrid milk mixed with vomit.” It is awful. I need to say that I did try many other deodorants from many other companies, and this was the only one that actually worked for me. I just stunk in a different way. I have bought Lume packages twice. The first time I only wanted unscented, but they only had it in a tube so I bought a couple of Fresh Coconut in Cream Stick and one Unscented in the tube. The fresh coconut smell was great but it dissipated within 5 seconds and then it was putrid milk vomit. The “unscented” was pure putrid milk vomit. Yum! I actually bought Lume a second time because she said she reformulated the scents. I bought only Toasted Coconut. How can you reformulate unscented? Then I didn’t really smell the putrid milk vomit, but instead I smelled like coconut candy, and from a long way away. Also not ideal. If you want to smell as if you are saturated in coconut candy, and have your clothes reek of coconut candy, then this will be great for you! If you have nothing else to do when you are getting ready, put Lume on before you have any clothes on, then walk or sit or lie down with your arms over your head for 30 minutes. And then you can put your clothes on. If you don’t wait, the stench will get on your clothes too. I don’t have that kind of time & I bet no one else does either. I also want to thank Lume (and now all sorts of companies jumping on the bandwagon) for telling me over and over that only women stink. I find the Lume commercials progressively more irritating. Listen, humans smell. If you are clean and your clothes are clean (the 2 big “if”s) and you feel like you stink in areas beyond your underarms, see if you have an infection or some other physical problem. That might involve more than one type of doctor. If you don’t, then consider therapy if this is ruling your life. In the animal world, smell attracts mates. It is the same for humans. Somehow we have become convinced that we should naturally smell like flowers, or nothing.

Lume (pronounced loo mee) has an almost instantly vanishing icky smell, but it really only lasts a matter of seconds when it’s exposed to air. I’ve been using it for years now and in the very beginning they ran into trouble because the icky smell was even more pungent and people were understandably convinced it had gone bad so they weren’t about to put it on their skin. I read reviews before ordering so I knew to expect that smell, but it was still jarring. But the icky smell vanished after a minute just as the reviews said it would. I especially like Lume’s wipes because I live in the desert and occasionally work with horses. During the summer it’s 115° and dusty outside and OMG does it feel amazing to jump in the car, crank up the AC, and go at the sweaty dirt. I use water wipes made for babies on my face but everything else gets the Lume wipe.

THANK YOU!!!! Omg! I bought the Lume when they first came out, I got the unscented one and yes!! It smells like butt!!! I thought I was just being too sensitive because all of the reviews are so positive! I know that scent is a very subjective thing, but wow! Plus, it really didn't help all that much. I ultimately found that wearing breathable fabric and using an unscented sensitive skin soap works better.

I love love love AKT. I've only ever tried the indig box, think it's called SC3 Onsen. It has a super subtle smell so if you arw sensitive ro fragrance, it won't be offensive. The gritty sand feel i think comes from how you have ro pierce the seal which then causes the grit because it disappears for me aftwr like the 3rd or fourth use. And it doesn't make me itch!!! Which has been my issue with natural deodarants.
