In recent years I've tried making my own deodorants but they're not very effective in hot weather or if I've been very active. I hate the idea of buying any throw-away, single-use plastics so have persevered with my own. When I saw these I thought I'd give them a go and it was love at first try. I've now been using for several weeks and they've been tested! Applying the deodorant is easy and smooth. They aren't too hard or too soft, glide over the skin with ease and don't leave your armpits wet or sticky. The scent is lovely and subtle. The underarms of my clothes now smell clean when I take them off and I definitely pass the sniff test, too! I'm expecting my next delivery soon and can't imagine using anything else now.
