I used Native Deodorant, which got great reviews online and seemed to be advertised on every social media channel. It wasn’t fun, but I found showering twice a day, exfoliating my pits, and wiping my pits with alcohol helped greatly. This period is nasty, and you will smell like a mix of hot metal and B.O.
There is a detox period of 2-3 weeks when switching where your body is getting rid of the old deodorant that is in your sweat glands. May 2017: I Made the Switch to Natural Deodorantīefore it got too hot, I decided to try a natural deodorant. Below, a timeline of my natural deodorant journey and the products I tried. That was over a year ago, and since then I have had different results with products I previously reviewed and tried new products. After that, I shared reviews of several natural deodorants. I previously shared my experience with Native Deodorant and going through deodorant detox. Doing the research, it sounded as though a natural deodorant would help clear out plugged sweat glands, improving my body smells, requiring less product. It was like a mix of body odor and fabric softener. After decades of using them, I didn’t find them as effective and didn’t like the weird smell I had. That was one of my reasons for seeking such a deodorant another is because I wasn’t satisfied with traditional deodorant/antiperspirant products. Many people choose a “natural” deodorant because they’re looking to reduce aluminum, parabens, and other chemicals. While I don’t like this term, I choose to use it for this post as this is the term used to market these deodorants. The term natural deodorant is misleading, and many different deodorants with very different ingredient lists use this term. I am not an expert, and I have not been paid by any brand mentioned in this post.
#Lume commercial update
I have previously reviewed natural deodorants this is an update on my experience transitioning to natural deodorant, what worked and what didn't. I have tried more natural deodorants and wanted to add my honest, unbiased reviews to this list.
At least that’s a step in the right direction.This post was originally published in January 2019 and updated twice since. In the end, Lume might still be contributing to the very same industry it’s trying to demonize - you probably don’t need to shell out $15 for butt deodorant if you’ve got access to a shower and soap-but at least it won’t make you feel there’s a five-alarm fire happening inside your vagina.
#Lume commercial crack
One satisfied customer explains that she uses it “between the crack of her butt,” and another says it’s simply been “life-changing.” I mean, I definitely believe them, but I’m assuming most of us have a pretty different definition of “life-changing.” I’m not sure if that’s as reassuring as the company thinks it is - they’re basically telling women we all have swamp ass, and we’re supposed to be relieved? Although, I suppose if the alternative is scorching our sensitive bits with douches and “feminine washes,” dabbing on some of Lume’s deodorant does seem more sensible.Īpparently, you’re supposed to really get right up in there with Lume (though again, it bears repeating that you do need to put any hygiene product inside your vagina, ever). Instead, it’s largely due to bacteria on your skin, much of which comes from the butt. Lume explains that vaginal odor isn’t your poor, misunderstood vagina’s fault.
“You’re a girl, and you’re living.” Her advice: “Try this douche!” (which I’m pretty sure was also a rejected slogan for Tinder). If only they had focused their talents on developing like, “ball wash”, the world might have been a very different place by now.Īnother dramatized ad portrays a young girl asking her mother how she could possibly still have “intimate odor” (great band name, by the way) despite showering every day. A lot of vaginas apparently got singed because some Don Draper types once tricked us into thinking that “feminine hygiene” is a separate concern from just regular old hygiene. “The burning means it’s working!” I honestly can’t think of a more terrifying string of sentences than those two, and it’s kind of mind-blowing to think that several generations of women actually fell for stuff like this. “Douse your vaginal tissue with this concentrated germicide,” one ad intones.
The already absurd ads become even more so when you hear them out loud. The super funny video takes copy from actual f eminine product print ads from decades past and dramatizes them. Lume aims to “vindicate the vagina” with hilarious send-up of feminine hygiene ads over the yearsĪ hilarious new ad from Lume offers a VSA (that’s a vagina service announcement): what we’ve all been brainwashed into thinking of as horrifyingly embarrassing “ feminine odor” is a perfectly natural occurrence, and please, for the love of all that is holy, stop putting things inside your vagina to try and get rid of it.
