It's the morning, you're going to use deodorant...

  • I've been using nuud for a couple of years, it lasts fucking ages and I put it on after every shower, so every day or two, but if I forget it's not really a problem.

  • Was going to say it’s vegan but it’s clearly been tested on a mustelid.

  • OG recipe was better but had lanolin in.

  • I use this stuff:

    I'd be interested to know how this compares to nuud but it has been a revelation. I used Sure for years and never realised how horrible it was.

  • I think nuud uses silver to piss off bacteria, no smells which is nice IMO.

  • You do.

    Just because you have become used to your own BO doesn't mean everyone else has.

  • How do you apply it? Scoop some up and rub it under your arms like moisturiser?

    Edit: Etsy give you instructions (unlike the website)

    HOW TO USE

    Store your Fit Pit in a cool dark place so it does not melt. Apply a pea sized amount with fingertips to underarms in the morning and after bathing.

  • https://www.aktlondon.com is quite good.

    And Aesop deodorant is nice, but really pricey. Lasts about three months though. https://www.aesop.com/uk/p/body-hand/personal-care/d-odorant/

  • This

    Apply also to ppl using homeopathicesque deodorants

  • You don’t.
    I’ve never used it. Ever.
    I almost never use soap and haven’t used shampoo in years. Wear natural fabrics and shower frequently.

  • Yeah exactly, you don't need much.

  • Cheers. I might give it a try.

    I use nivea which I've found to always work well and have a nice smell. Although it's a glass bottle, the plastic ball seems wasteful and ultimately it does leave residue on tops.

    There is obviously quite a big price differential though.

  • Big Toiletries got you good huh

  • nudd here, tried a lot of the alternatives. Postage takes ages tho. The little dispenser adaptor is worthwhile getting too.

  • Random question but do those garments smell worse when they get wet/you sweat? If so could be mildew from slow drying clothes, and found this stuff works wonders https://www.vanish.co.uk/products/laundry-boosters/

    Add one scoop to wash and mildew gone.

  • I ordered the pit balm …
    Brilliant stuff , tried 8km run , in man made fabric ( normally a guaranteed whiff) then 50 mins of resistance training… no smell , next I tried 2 Days hiking and wild camping … merino clothes but no smell
    Nuud just arrived , it took a while to get here , that says it could last up to 7 days and uses silver to control the bacteria .
    I’ll let you know

  • LOL, just seen this thread. I stopped using commercial deodorant about five years ago and it took a good six weeks before my pits began to recover from it. Since then I've been using a water/tea tree oil mixture and can safely say I don't reek to high heaven. Have had several independent witnesses testify to that too. YMMV, ofc.

    The thing is, it does take your pits a while to get used to not using commercial deodorant. And for that period, you stink like fuck.

  • I put weird natural deodorant on about 3 times a month. Not even sure why I do it. Maybe less. Shower at least daily for like 2 minutes with a bar of shitty olive oil type soap. Wash the hair once a week. No one goes running so I smell okay. Also my white t shirts done get crappy discoloration under the arms.

  • Ffs who cares

  • Just ordered some Nuud. Interested to see how it goes. I occassionally improvise a spray deodorant with some crystal deodorant (potassium alum) dissolved in water in a spray bottle, sometimes mixed with rubbing alcohol/witch hazel. Not sure how effective it is, but it feels right to give my pits a break from Mitchum every day.

  • PitRock Crystal.
    No staining, works like a dream, lasts years and years. I only replaced my last one as I lost it.

  • Why am I sceptical about taking deodorant advice from user name @honk

  • I reacted quite badly to Nuud, not sure if it's the silver in it.

  • I'm trying nuud. Seems alright so far, although apparently my pits were smelly last night. Still trying to figure how often to apply
