Great for postpartum
If you are experiencing one of the worst postpartum symptoms, get this. Literally nothing would work before this. Once I started using this, I would experience zero sweat and odor. I dont know about 72 hours since I’m not willing to go that long without a shower but I think it could. There isnt even a slight whiff of odor at the end of the day, even the days I exercise.Ok so at first the smell of the product in the bottle isnt great. I assume the ingredients that make this work are not the best smelling. Before putting it on, it smells like faint wet dog? Mixed with coconut. BUT do not let that deter you. This stuff works so well and the scent at first isnt even that bad. Its just not super perfume-y. It literally goes away within a minute of wearing it. The coconut isn’t overwhelming either so you can’t smell it unless its right under your nose. It doesnt stick to your clothing or leave behind any residue. It is viewed as a little pricey but a little goes a long way. Seriously. I use a pea size amount in total once a day and I never need to reapply.Don’t let the other reviews scare you. The smell in the bottle isnt even that bad. The smell is great after its on and its 100% worth it. 10/10 will purchase again and gift to all my postpartum friends.

Afraid of the STINK reviews? Here's THE SECRET to using this product effectively!
Afraid of the STINK many are complaining about? Okay...so I tried every single one of Lume's scents and hands down the BEST scent is the one I thought I would like the least, it's the Toasted Coconut. The other scents DO have a strange scent to them upon first application, but honestly ALL of them work, they really do. Here's the secret to using this product, RESIST the temptation to smell the cream straight out of the bottle. Just don't do it. Ewwww! You'll hate it! Instead, just ignore what your nose is telling you and put the stuff on! No! Don't smell your pits immediately! I told you not to! LOL! (I am serious don't do it!)Give it a try and trust the stuff will work and put your clothes on and get dressed. Later when you remove your clothing before bed that's the time to do your scent investigation. Or for the more adventurous among us, have someone else do the scent investigation for you. Sniff those pits or "other" places you chose to slather this stuff all over and I swear these places won't smell at all or they will have a soft lavender, coconut, or whatever scent you chose...even the non-scented one that smells downright putrefying right out of the bottle will not smell at all on your skin after wearing it awhile...instead you'll just be scent-free and smell-free. Give the underarms of your t-shirt a sniff after wearing it all day and you'll only smell lovely lavender, coconut, etc... In fact, this stuff works so well that I asked my husband to use it--on some of his other parts, and WOW holy guacamole am I a believer! ;) After THAT experience he is definitely motivated to use this stuff daily! (You just gotta reward good behavior!) LOL!Finally, to recap, DO NOT try to smell what you're looking for in a scent directly from the bottle or even right after you apply it... it needs time...seasoning for an hour or so, and then you'll be pleased as punch! Delay your need for instant fragrance gratification, modify your expectations for what scents you expect to come from the bottle and instead focus on the outcome (maybe focus on your WHY)...body odor will not occur if you use this after showering. We shower daily so I cannot comment on the 72hr nature of this body deodorant.Oh, and as far as scent choices go, I did try all of the scents and I like the way the toasted coconut mellows out to LATER, lavender mellows out nicely too so it's my second choice and for times that I don't want any scent as no scent is nice too, the unscented version is perfect (but only after time has passed on your skin...definitely a horrible smell after just applying it, but only if you stick your nose up to it. Ignore the scent at first, tell yourself it's going to be ok and let it ride... let it sit and do it's thing and it will disappear into a gorgeous UNSCENTED version. Just don't pay attention to how awful the unscented one is at first, buuuuut I promise you if you give it a few hours you won't be disappointed! I hope this helps you sift through your dilemma when you read ALL the reviews talking about the "stink"... patience grasshopper!

It works as promised, but need to learn to use it
Summary:Positives1. It is better for your skin than cheaper alternatives.2. It is not expensive to use because a small amount lasts.3. It can be effective sometimes for 2 days and sometimes for a lot more.Update:4. Applyed it for a jock itch, now it is gone, wow. So much healthier than the medications which actually hurt your skin.Negatives1. Applying it is a little bit involved, and can take a few minutes.2. One needs a special solution to wash the bad smell off of fingers.3. Though the bad smell can be managed, it is still awful to experience such bad smell while applying it.Details:I bought a tube of no scent lume. Mostly because the only scent acceptable to wear for a man: silver spruce, was out at that time. I did read reviews of the horrific smell, but wanted to try it anyway.When I did try it, it was horrific. The smell was unbearable to me. When I would apply it with my fingers, it was getting on my fingers, and my fingers smelled horrible, and the smell would not wash out with water or soap, so I stopped using it.Much later, unhappy with other deodorants, I thought to persevere, and to try it again.I found out that after applying it, you want to keep from putting the shirt on for a few minutes. This is to prevent it from soaking into your shirt. After a few minutes, several things happened: it would 1. Stop smelling horridly under my arms( not much smell at all ), 2. Dry out, so I could put my shirt on. I also found out that the horrid smell on my fingers could be washed away with a soap and a light vinegar and water solution.It all sounds pretty involved, so why is my rating 4 stars, which is a positive rating.Well, 1: alternatives are either bad for your skin or expansive. 2: on the subject of expansiveness, this product is also quite expensive. But I use the tiniest amount of it, and it does it's job well, so it actually lasts a while. 3: how well does it actually work? I found out that in the summer, when I tend to sweat more, it is effective for maybe a day and a half, possibly 2 days. But in the winter, when I don't sweat too much, it can last a week or more. I had a minor medical procedure, and could not shower for a week, and it was still working. I was rather surprised. But as soon as I washed, my BO was back as strong as ever, sorry for that imagery. So I know it was lume keeping it down. So to recount:Positives1. It is better for your skin than cheaper alternatives. 2. It is not expensive to use. 3. It can be effective sometimes for 2 days and sometimes for a lot more.Negatives1. Applying it is a little bit involved, and can take a few minutes.2. One needs a special solution to wash bad smell off of fingers3. Though the bad smell can be managed, it is still awful to experience such bad smell while applying it.

Game changer!
Breathe through your mouth during application as it’s a vile smell prior to drying, but if you can forge forward through the stinky application, the smell disappears after the product dries. For my armpits, I wait 5 minutes before putting on my shirt and that’s ample time for it to absorb into my skin and dry. It works if you’re patient. If you apply it in a hurry and throw on your clothes, you’ll smell the stench of the cream all day because essentially your smelling it on your clothing and you’ve not allowed it time to work its magic into your skin.After a full day of hiking and sweating, I came home to family and friends who were dumbfounded by how fresh I smelled. I highly recommend this unscented body deodorant!

Very good product
I use this especially if I go out or to work where I do physical work. It serves me well. I sweat a lot and this product works all day through the night. It’s expensive so if I’m staying home I use my old deodorant.
