I have used Lume in the past with great results, but during a move my old stick of Lume disappeared for a couple of years. When I found it a few months ago it was kind of dried out, the coconut scent had vanished, and it smelled like a box of crayons. While it was still effective, I'm not a huge fan of smelling like crayons, so I decided to order some new Lume. I primarily got it because its safe to use in places....other than... my pits if you catch my drift. Also not a fan of aluminum. Lume works like a champ! I'm not really concerned with stopping the sweat, I'm more concerned with stopping odor. I work outside everyday and in the summer I'm drenched from head to toe anyways. So Lume is perfect for my situation. It eliminates all odor, and by all I mean ALL. I don't care who you are or how hard you scrub, at the end of a long hot day outside, your southern hemisphere will have an odor in some form. Lume has eliminated this for me. I have not had any skin irritation at all using Lume. I know everyone is different, but for me there have been no issues whatsoever. It does leave a little bit of a "film" on my skin, I'm not sure that's the right word, it's not greasy or gross feeling, it's more "silky" than anything. Definitely not unpleasant. And I'll take silky over stinky any day. I prefer the way Lume feels over "regular" deodorant. Now for the scent... I have a "super nose" and can usually smell things when others can't so this was probably the biggest and most important factor for me. I ordered the Clean Tangerine, Lavender Sage, and Unscented bundle. Usually any citrus scented products give me a migraine, so I was a little worried about that, but I read so many positive reviews about that scent I decided to roll the dice. It actually smells amazing and I tried that scent today and haven't had the slightest tinge of a headache. I think it's my favorite scent. The lavender sage does smell good, but the tangerine wins. The unscented did have a slight (and I mean barely noticeable if you have your nose right on the stick) "crayon" smell to it, but that does go away after it's applied. I gave my son the unscented stick to try and if it works for him I'll order him a "manly" scent. After I ordered this bundle, out of curiosity, I did some research regarding my original stick of Lume smelling like crayons. I was horrified to read mainly negative reviews about how Lume smelled like swamp butt and sour milk. I was really second guessing my order at that point, not sure if something had changed in their formula since i bought my first stick years ago. Tons of people were being repulsed by the smell of their Lume. There was speculation in many of these reviews and discussions that perhaps only some people are able to smell this and others are not - much like how cilantro tastes like soap to some people and doesn't to others. I must be one of the people that can't smell the foul odor that others do, or perhaps its only the cream that has that smell. I tend to think it's more common to see negative reviews because people are more apt to shout from the rooftops when they have a negative experience than when they have a positive one. It smells great to me! So if you have researched Lume and read all those reviews - just give it a try for yourself. I do find it somewhat difficult to spend so much on a deodorant, but knowing that it can be used ANYWHERE you have odor without worry, I think its worth it. Also, a little goes a long way. It says it works up to 72 hours, but I would rather be safe than sorry so I apply it once a day. Maybe one day I will do an experiment. At the end of the day I'm really happy to have found Lume and I'm so glad there is an effective alternative to applying aluminum to my pits every day that can be used in other places.

This stuff is amazing! Settle in as this will be a long review. I work in a hot sweaty factory. I never had problem with smelly feet until I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and had to get special shoes. Now my feet stink all the time. They sweat so much in these shoes that I can smell my own feet and it's disgusting. I also have to sit in a pile of my own sweat all day. My panties are usually soaked with sweat and underneath my bra sweats so much that I can wring out my bra when I get home. My bra stinks so bad because it's just full of sweat. Deodorant and FDS spray can only do so much. So I decided to try Lume. Oh my God, like light and day! I put the Lume on my feet bottoms, tops, between my toes. I put it under my big boobs and in all the cracks and crevices of my woman parts. So I went to work in my hot, sweaty factory and I still sweated all day long. My feet were wet, my bra was wet and my panties were wet. But miraculously there was no smell! None. Nada. This had to be a fluke. So I took a shower and did the same thing. Lume on my feet, under boob and woman parts. I did as much stuff as I could to sweat. I climbed stairs instead of using the elevator, I exerted myself as much as I could. I was a sweaty mess. And no smell! Seriously, no smell. So I decided to really put it to the test. The commercial says this last for like 70 hours. So as hard as it was for me and as gross, I took a shower, put the Lume on and went to work and sweated for 3 days without taking a shower. I did not reapply the Lume. And no smell! No way. Yes way! This stuff is amazing! Amazing! I did test it a few more times and this is what I discovered. It does last for 3 days. If you let it go more than that you will smell like a corpse. On the fourth day it's as if all the smell comes back at once. The stink was unnatural. So don't go more than two or three days without a shower.

I bought Lume Whole Body Deodorant for my wife, and she absolutely loves it! She’s been searching for a natural, effective deodorant, and Lume is exactly what she was looking for. It works great all day long, keeping her feeling fresh without any irritation. The formula is gentle on her skin, and the scent is subtle and pleasant, not overwhelming. She especially loves that it’s safe for use on all areas of the body, and it lasts longer than any other deodorant she’s tried. It’s a perfect, thoughtful gift, and we’ll definitely be sticking with Lume from now on! Highly recommend!

If u sweat it doesn’t make u smelly ! Love it

Yes! It actually lasts 72 hours. I fractured my femur and have to hop along on one leg using a walker to get anywhere. My pits became very stinky even by supper time using my old deodorant. Washed my pits really well, applied the stick Lume deodorant and am very happy to say my pits are odour free even 72 hours later. Might cost a lot, but well worth it! Finally a product that works as advertised.

Perimenopause has made most deodorant brands suddenly ill equipped to meet my needs, even with daily showers. This has been the ONLY brand that actually works for me! Tangerine scent smells so good too! Worth every penny!!

I bought this specifically for those areas where you don’t want to use your regular underarm deodorant. I find that as long as you put it on immediately after bathing it does work quite well to keep me smelling fresh. I knocked off one star as it lasts about 24 hrs for me and the tangerine scent is overly potent. I would buy again if I don’t find something that works even better.
