Stops the stank!
This stuff works! I started using this a month ago and have decided to make this my permanent deodorant. I used to use aluminum deodorant and decided to stop because of all the cysts it was causing in my armpit area. This was the first aluminum-free deodorant I tried and I'm sticking with it. Stank stop is an accurate name because when I was using aluminum deodorant if I didn't put it on right out the shower, my pits would immediately be funky. I don't have that problem anymore. I do vigorous sweat inducing workouts twice a day and this stuff just keeps going. The pleasant lavender/sage smell does dissipate over time but I never smell stink or funk. Also, dont let the little jar fool you, a little goes a loooong way. I'm 31+ days into the jar I bought and I still have over half left.Some tips:1. If you feel weird about getting this on your fingers, Little Seed Farm sells these cute little bamboo deodorant applicators right here on Amazon. They come in a two pack. You have to use the small end, not the big end like intended but they keep your fingers out the jar and really help spread the deodorant and absorb it into your pits.2. Do not switch to natural deodorant cold turkey. If you are planning to stop using aluminum deodorant the second this arrives at your door you NEED to prep your pits or you will stink and stink bad, and then you'll probably be on here writing a review about how this deodorant doesn't work. That aluminum deodorant has been plugging your pores for however long you've been using it. So your pores haven't been able to sweat or release all that bacteria inside them. If you think you're going to stop using aluminum deodorant and smell like a bed of roses let me tell you, all that ick is going to start to leech out and your going to smell horrible. So you need to detox to get all that icky stuff out while you transition to the natural deodorant. Get some Aztec Secret Indian Bentonite Clay, some apple cider vingar, and some Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel. Before you shower, whip up the clay mask and put it on your pits and let it sit (follow instructions on jar) so it can draw all that crap out your pores. I don't recommend rinsing the mask off in the sink you don't want clay in your pipes. Either use a wet towel or wipes to clean off the bulk of the mask and then shower like usual. When you get out put the witch hazel on your pits. The rose water cleans the pores and the witch hazel is antibacterial and will close the pores, not clog, close so that when you sweat they will open again like they're supposed to. Then put on your natural deodorant. Do the masks for a week. Personally I still use the witch hazel on my pits before deodorant application because I enjoy the extra cleansing properties and I spent money on this big bottle of Thayers so I'm getting my moneys worth. Up to you. But I hope these tips help.

Great Stuff! Neutralizes odor causing bacteria really well, but why 1 oz of product, not 2 oz?
Tiny 1 oz jar - very cute, but we're talking sample/ travel size. Nonetheless, I was on a search to find a natural deodorant that would really work to eliminate order, not just add perfume to body odor, so I opened it to give it a try.I've come to love this stuff in 3 weeks. Applied by rubbing a pea-sized portion between the tips of the fingers to any areas which might get 'stanky'. It's easy to apply, rubs in clean, and smells pleasantly fresh.Kept me fresh every day now for 3 weeks, in high humidity, during summer.Which brings me to the next set of uses and a question...I think it's worth mentioning that the odor-neutralizing powers are amazing, not only for armpits but for areas on the body's surface that are prone to get sweaty and stay that way on a hot day.What Im talking about kids-- as we know from science class and lotsa commercials!--is those places where the "odor-causing bacteria" like to hang. I'm talking about the "All Sweaty, -All the Time" places, such as under breasts, between fat rolls, feet, etc. --Anyway, you get the picture....This brought me to two questions:First question:Can I afford to continue to use this? Using 4 pea-sized drops a day, just enough to selectively rub into my personal 'sweaty bits', I figure will use up one jar in exactly one month's time.For me that makes Stank Stop a very expensive (and thus unsustainable) choice for a regular deodorant.Sad because this coulda been the place that I stopped looking and became a customer for life.My only complaint: too little product to be practical.C'mon, could you have sold these same ( not expensive) ingredients in a 2-ounce jar instead of a 1 oz jar for around 12-14 bucks? Other natural brands seem to be doing so. If you could too, I would become your willing slave and tell everyone I know to consider using this as their go-to rub for all of their sweaty stinky places, including armpits.To be clear: Im not slathering gobs of product all over my body surface; I'm taking pains to be applying it as directed in the amounts directed and I'm striving to be accurate on how much I am using the product for reasons that will become clear in a minute...)The next question:Is the extremely tiny jar with very little product a necessity born from the cost of making this product and turning a decent profit?Or is it more of a consequence of marketing ( edgy name, tiny product=perception of exclusivity, & 'branding cool'?)I'm asking that second question out of a love for the product, not to be snarky.And because my own experience with it tells me you could have many, many, satisfied customers who would return month after month, if only you gave them more product! If this jar could last 2 months as opposed to one month it would make it 50% more affordable to use over time. (More customers for longer. Make sense?)My experience with this a rub for those sweaty places leads me to think about a large possibly untapped potential market for this product.This could possibly become an odor and comfort control game-changer for athletic use (foot rub) as well for anyone who is suffering from a bacterial build-up in fleshy crevices between showers--particularly because of incapacity or restriction on (their) movements, such as people who are wheelchair-bound, in nursing homes, on bed rest, etc. hospitals, etc.

The first time I applied this after a shower, I had high hopes. The piney smell was nice and I didn’t mind applying it with my fingers. However after a few hours I stank ... BAD. And I never stink. Even after working out I don’t really get BO. This time I could see the stink lines emanating off my body. The next day, with the second application, I used it after a shower and decided to put on my usual deodorant (with which I’ve never had a problem) over the top of it, reasoning that the Stank Stop might give a good base pine smell and the regular deodorant would keep me from getting BO. Wrong. I smelled horrible within a few hours. I went back to my regular deodorant the following day, and I haven’t stunk since. Verdict: the Stank Stop deodorant actually creates stink on me.
