I hadn't used regular deodorant (compared to antiperspirant) since I was a teen, so I was a little reticent. However, I've been trying to cut out as many single use plastics as possible so I thought I'd try it, and wow, am I impressed! Firstly I love the scent. I literally sniff it every time I put it on - it reminds me of Juicy Fruit chewing gum but better. I do sweat more while wearing it vs the antiperspirant, but I haven't noticed any smell at all. I personally choose to use it both at night after showering and again in the morning, which I think helps as well. The directions say to apply 2-3 swipes, so I do 2 swipes twice a day. I will also acknowledge that the paper packaging takes some getting used to, but it has held up well overall and unlike plastic, it isn't intended to last for years. You should try this and see what you think!
