So, i'm back from my trip to BC for the wedding and to see Jaxson's grandparents and great-grandparents, and this deodorant met the travel stink challenge with gusto!
I am so incredibly impressed with it. It works as well as... or better than... any non-natural antiperspirant deodorant, it smells amazing, it's great for sensitive skin (I had zero issues after shaving, and I always get those painful red bumps).
It stood up to walks through the disc golf course, the wedding, multiple plane rides (including a terrible overnight layover in Calgary.... points are great, but the choice of flights is just horrendous!). That's actually more than I can say of Lady Speed Stick (and that stuff has been tested to the moon and back!)
I also really like the feel of this deodorant. The cream is a little bit grainy at first, but it melts very nicely as you rub it in. It's so softening and silky - I love it! The powder is really nice too. I'm still getting used to the feel of arrowroot powder - it's very fine. The powder goes on really nicely though - the cream soaks it up and I had no residue issues (including on the dark purple dress I wore to the wedding)
Day 1: this stuff worked very well - I applied it without showering in the morning, for a lazy day out walking the dog with my family. No issues what-so-ever! And I even sweat a little on the walk because it was actually above zero!
Day 2: after showering the night before, I applied this and went to bed. This morning, I woke up and furiously cleaned the house - vacuumed, cleaned the kitchen, did a couple loads of laundry. Again, no issues at all with stink! I was pleasantly surprised actually.
Day 3: again, I applied it the night before and did not need to reapply in the morning. I did yoga with a friend and there was no change at all - it held up really nicely!
Day 4: I shaved last night and applied the deodorant immediately (as opposed to waiting almost half an hour with the Hugo Naturals stuff), and had no issues all day long today! No ouchies, no nothing! It was also a busy day, helping my mum clean her house for the arrival of her parents (she always gets like that when they come into town). At the end of a long, productive, entertaining day, there was zero odour, zero discomfort!
Day 5: spent the day at my mum's and aunt's with the great grandparents. I got pretty sweaty, just moving around! We traveled this evening too - took an evening flight that was delayed, and again, sweat a lot. This was the only day I had a bit of b.o, but it still wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be!
Day 6: another day of travel as we made our way from Vancouver to Salt Spring Island. This deodorant held up so so well through all of this! I was amazed, once again.
Day 7: spent the day hanging out on Salt Spring and then attended a bridal shower, which was a lot of fun. I woke up a little stinky after yesterday's travel - the most stinky so far and it was definitely manageable.
Day 8: we didn't do much today, so no issues.
Day 9: today was the wedding. It was a beautiful barn wedding and then a fun reception with great food, loud music, lots of dancing and zero b.o. issues by the end of the day.
Day 10: I didn't have the energy to shower last night, so I did wake up stinky today, but expected that. I was super lazy so all I did was reapply a bit instead of showering right away and I was able to get through the whole day just fine! So reapplication really does work well with this stuff.
Day 11: an uneventful day, lounged for a bit and then made our way over to Victoria to catch our flight back home.
Day 12: arrived back in Saskatoon after an awfully long trip back. We had a 6.5 hour layover in the Calgary airport, overnight. That was the real test for this deodorant, and it was AMAZING! I've done a lot of 12 hour trips growing up overseas, and even with Lady Speed Stick, I always arrived reeking and needing to reapply like mad. With this stuff, I didn't even need to do that!
I am so impressed with this deodorant. It is completely non-irritating, even through shaving twice (once without shave cream too).
I highly recommend this deo! I sweat a lot, I stink a lot, and this stuff works so well, better than anything I've tried - it gives bad-for-you antiperspirants a run for their money!
