This Deo DOES work. I'm a VERY heavy sweater. Just give it & your body time to adjust!
This my very FIRST product review...and I shop online for almost everything. I felt compelled to write a review for two reasons; #1 - my shock, awe and love for this product (yes, really!) #2 - because perhaps others that may be looking and searching for a great natural deodorant (like I was for so long)...may be discouraged by a few of the previous reviews, please don't be!
First off, I'm a huge sweater. All. The. Time. Seriously... (I wish I was kidding). For as long as I can remember, I sweat whether I'm hot or cold...winter or summer, never seems to differ. And I have used allot of the store bought deodorants, tried soooo many, and would use the ones that had the absolute strongest percentage of active ingredient (the bad for you stuff), and I would carry it in my car, my purse, my desk, several in stock at home...and would RE-APPLY throughout the day as needed. AND I HATED IT. Why did I HAVE to sweat so much!?? I would also wear layers, a tank top (to soak up sweat before I had embarrassing sweat rings...going halfway down my shirt. I even tried garment liners. (Just to give you an idea of just HOW much I sweat).
Fast forward to the past 6 months. I started to worry and wonder and what all of that deodorant was doing to me...? The bad stuff I'd been applying like frosting on a cake. Ugh. Then reading...and learning...and trying different products. DIY deodorants, all natural ones, and even had the baking soda rash (highly sensitive skin as well...lucky me) the baking soda broke me out so badly I had a rash under my arms, down my sides almost to my waistband. And horribly uncomfortable. Itchy. Burning. Redness...that was awful. I had to leave work and go home just to shower and try my best to wash as much off as I could (it's not easy to give yourself an armpit bath at the office (hand soap & paper towels) and look like everything is peachy, when you really want to strip down and pack ice in your armpits.)
If you're still reading...I say all that to tell you that I ordered this product, honestly thinking and believing that it would fail. I was hopeful, but had not had much luck so far (and I'd tried several). I had just done an "armpit detox", thinking it surely couldn't hurt - after the amounts of toxic deo I had applied...perhaps that would help? [Armpit detox = bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar paste...at least that's the one I did.]
I *felt* like it had to have helped (who really knows right?) And I was determined NOT to go back to the toxic stuff. But my homemade stuff (a mixture I'd made without baking soda) was just giving me slippery pits and oil stained shirts. It was beyond frustrating! I knew that I would still sweat. I had no false hopes that I'd stop sweating. I know it's supposed to be good for us and cleansing and all that, but at least I wanted to not smell like I just left the zoo. So I waited for this to arrive, and continued to research and read. And hope for the best.
It arrived. *happy dancing may have been part of opening the package* ;)
I applied it. It felt amazing! And smelled awesome too! If only it would work (please...please work!) A few hours passed, I was of course sweating and doing the sniff test. Tad bit off smelling. I washed, and applied again. Repeat for 2 days...here we go ago I thought. Then I had a random thought or flash I'd read something about using vinegar to kill the bacteria under your arms (that's what makes us stinky...not the sweat...its the bacteria that creep into feast on the fat in your underarm sweat...nice eh?) So I took a small amount of white vinegar on a wash cloth and wiped both underarms really well. Waited a few seconds to dry, and reapplied the deo. Still felt great, and I has renewed hope! :)
Couple hours pass...I'm sweaty (of course) but I DO NOT smell bad!! I did the sniff test all day. Nada. I'm good. I even smell kinda good...because the deo smells so nice. I seriously wanted to update all of Facebook and tell everyone! I restrained myself ;)
So now it's been 3 days. And I'm still having AMAZING luck with this Meow Meow Tweet deodorant. Its truly been the ONLY one that hasn't been disgustingly sticky, or slimy, or given me a rash. Not cool :/
I only wish there was a break on price if you ordered more than one, or three. I'd lover to have a couple on hand...and not have to spend $50 to get there, ya know? I originally ordered from their site, and i ordered the small sample size (cheaper at $8, for 1oz)...because i wasnt too convinced that it was going to work. I'm really hoping and praying for a great sale on their site :)
I know it's still fairly new...but 3 days. And no smell. None. THAT IS HUGE. At least in my book...since I'm the super soaker of sweaters - I wish I were exaggerating. Sighhh.
I will most definitely update if things change or I have something to add. I really hope this review helps someone out there. And you have some luck :)
Edited to update: Its December 2021 and this is STILL my daily deodorant!! I've switched scents here and there, as well as switching to the push up tube style. But still using and loving my Meow Meow Tweet deo! And incredibly happy with it.
