Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

THIS WORKS. I'm a male with (I think) average armpit sweating and body odor. I just got this and it worked on day one. In fact, it worked BETTER than my previous deodorant, which is Dove Sensitive Skin; at the end of the day I now have far less body odor under my arms. I suspect that some folks don't get good results because they either have different sweat chemistry and/or they aren't applying it correctly. Here's what I do: I step out of the shower in the morning and dry off everywhere EXCEPT my armpits. I then take the Crystal Deodorant and rub it with 40 or so quick strokes under each arm. That's maybe 10 seconds under each arm and I rub it all over to get good coverage. (NOTE: since the underarm is still slightly wet, the crystal runs smoothly over it, no grit or rubbing. If you accidentally dried off your armpits, simply put a couple drops of water on the crystal - no more than that - before using.) Then I shave and get dressed. No need to "dry out" your arm pits, they shouldn't be that wet anymore anyway. I bet the people it doesn't work for are only doing 5 or 6 strokes, as if it was a regular deodorant stick. This technique also means I don't put the crystal under the faucet where water could drip into the holder, loosen the crystal, and eventually make it fall out and shatter on the floor. Take care of this thing and it will last a year. The travel size is brilliant. It's all you need, frankly.
