No. I wouldn't try a whole body deo. I have ultra sensitive skin and am ok with just the regular under arm deo.
I've found with lume, the paste form doesn't smell good. But the solid stick form in the rose peony scent and the clean tangerine scent are great and what i use and swear by. Super weird because the cream paste in the same scents don't smell good/the same. Highly recommend trying the lume solid sticks!
I love your videos but the background is too bright. I usually watch your videos at night and it hurts me 😭 also, doing an asmr skin video would be so nice from you
Yes. Lumee works! (Also they updated their formula to improve the scent.)
Regular deodorants and even some of the natural ones still cause me enough issues that no I will never use a whole body. I think it's just another tactic to make a super conscious of our bodies and not smelling like flowers and soap 24/7.Rather than getting used to like normal fucking smells not saying that I want to smell your pits but smelling a little sweaty is not a bad thing. It p***** me off seeing them.Selling whole body deodorant to know every brand is.I just see it as a cash grab and the fact that it had been putting out ADS all over the d*** place.And now everybody's got one makes me so adverse to it.I will never buy it.I don't care if it's required by law at this point.
There are other countries that simply don't sell deodorant at all. Like the normal armpit guide, it doesn't exist. You have to special order that s*** Why? Because people just don't use it. They don't need it because they don't have the stinky. Sweat, or they're used to normal smells around their society and culture to where they don't buy it. I see this as another capitalistic hellscape. B******* thing to make people feel awful and cause more body. Does morphia than we even f****** know?
I really dislike the whole body deodorant ad where they have a woman backpacking using it. As a backpacker, I find it quite insulting that a company thinks I should be so self conscious about my knees smelling weird while I’ve been living on the side of a mountain for 7 days that I should make room and weight allowance in my pack for a 6 oz bottle of whole body deodorant lol
Fr, like also I'd rather bring body wipes to feel cleaner
tfw you go back country camping and get followed by a bear thanks to corporations shaming you into wearing "full body deodorant" that leaves a scent trail for animals to pick up everywhere you go lmfao
Amen, sistah!
I'd like to see body deodorant commercials for men. Their crooks and crannies smell too. Body odor was not a concern until the last few years. Another product to make women feel
insecure.
I think its because it would be harder to broadcast on national tv deodorant for the crotch and and under boob, areas that can produce odor.
I'm so glad you mentioned the gross scent of Lume. It's awful. It had this gross funky, cheese, mildew like base scent. The scents available were just like a mask to that funky base smell.
It's like using air freshener after pooping. It still smells like poop, but with citrus and flower. Shitrus if you will. I could not stand it. The perfume smells go away but that funky base smell stays. HATE it.
Lmao shitrus I'm using that one
I use the no scent one.
Lume lavender scent is putrid.
I thought I was the only person who thought it smelled bad because people talk about how great it is. I tried the lavender one first and immediately hated it but used it to give it a chance. Then I tried the alpine one. Better but still bad. The only product of theirs that I like are the wipes because it does freshen you up when you need it but can't take a shower yet.
I tried a sample pack. The unscented was pure foot cheese. Never went away. The minute you open the tube you smell it, so it's not a skin chemistry thing. Every scent was awful. I know people that use it and I could smell it on them too. It's a wretched cheese funk. The gyno who invented it must be nose blind.
Too afraid to try it. Keep thinking I’ll see a commercial in 50 years-“If you or a loved have been diagnosed with (insert any condition here) after using Lume Full Body Deodorant, you may be entitled to compensation.”
This can literally be said about any new product we introduce to our bodies and environment in general. Lol nothing is safe
Truer words.
Right lol😂😂 I bet Morgan Morgan Morgan & Morgan is all over this! 🤣
SAME-
Yup- no need to introduce more bs into our imposed hygiene expense load- body shaming/ fear tactics… more chemicals & packaging that’s mostly unnecessary.
Im so fed up with the full body commercials! They were funny at first but now they're infuriating. Great video explaining everything!!
Funny, I started seeing these whole body deodorants at Wal-Mart and was a little confused and asked myself WTF? Why do we even need to waste our money on this.
We don't. It's ridiculous and bad for the skin.
I agree! I don’t smell bad neither do my family/friends/coworkers. We have one coworker who has very bad hygiene and she has quite a smell. That is a completely different issue and fruity coconut won’t actually help the issue 😂
Exactly! I thought the same thing. I thought I understood deodorant at this stage of life then I'm seeing all these whole body ones. Thinking is this some deodorant/body spray combo? Ugh!
@@marniekilbourne608 I've read that these products are aimed at people with higher body weight. But I doubt they need them; it's just targeted to our insecurities.
I like using them. I don't like to smell like sweat.
Lume was sold to the company that sells Harry's razors. The company isn't owned by the founder anymore.
@@Sp67vdews you can thank Harry's for marketing to men.
As a woman who has used old spice for a very long time, the scent “Oasis” is literally vanilla ice cream. But like ~fancy~ vanilla ice cream. It’s doesn’t come off as a “masculine” scent at all, it’s pretty unisex. My personal favorite scent that I’ve tried is Deep Sea, which is a musky citrus. It’s quite masculine, but I prefer that. Some of their scents come in a “Sweat Defense” formula which is 19% aluminum. I really like those because I work in a factory. I’ve also noticed that most of their scents are free of the common fragrance allergens that have to be listed in ingredients lists, which is nice.
I definitely prefer men's deodorant. I don't like those candy sweet smells that women's deodorant thinks that women love.
I use Old Spice pretty consistently, I feel like I don’t even care if I do smell masculine, but you have made me want to buy oasis. I love a good vanilla ice cream smell.
I’ve used old spice’s Wolfthorn for years. I love how aggressive and cartoonishly masculine the name is for a deodorant/antiperspirant that smells like cupcakes. I find deodorants and antiperspirants marketed for men have stronger scents that last longer, which is great as long as you find a scent that isn’t the typical nasty fake musky Axe smelling ones.
I too am a woman who only uses old spice. So many of the scents are very unisex and long lasting. A lot of women’s deodorants smell great but aren’t long lasting they literally suck. Because women don’t sweat! Duh! Old spice wilderness is the best i’ve used it for years
Old spice Aqua Reef is my all time favorite deodorant. It is so much better value vs women's deodorant and it's amazing!! My pits still sweat as that one is aluminum free but there is no bad smells... i have secret clinical protection for occasions I don't want to to sweat too much.
Thank you for not demonising antiperspirants 🥺as someone whose recently started struggling with heavy, frankly stinky perspiration and has to use a clinical antiperspirant to prevent the smell this is really re-assuring.
It is such a bunch of bs. I use both. The only benefit I have had from not using antiperspirant is learning my armpits are not my sweat zone. I have so many samples I switch but I buy antiperspirant most of the time
💜 I can relate. I have hyperhidrosis that’s very embarrassing and difficult to function with everyday. Antiperspirants have been life changing!
Castoroil with pure rose works wonders.
😊
My dermatologist had me start using PanOxyl 4% benzoyl peroxide 1x a week on my underarms in the shower and it has totally changed my life. I was even able to switch to an all natural deodorant doing this. It got rid of all that stinky bacteria.
I can understand if someone doesn't want that "old person smell" and would like a full body deodorant, though I don't think it's necessary and people don't judge that smell like they do with regular body odor. For most of us showering and general good hygiene is enough, I can honestly say I've
never stood next to someone where I could smell if they had sweat "down there" and most people probably aren't getting that close. I feel like it's just yet another product exploiting womens insecurities about the way our lady parts smell, like it should smell like roses or something because they always emphasize it can be used in that specific area. I wouldn't be surprised if it was like most lip balms where the more you use it, it makes you need to continue using it or else you smell worse than before by messing up your natural microbiome or something.
I have rarely, if ever, seen full body deodorant marketed towards men. I know Old Spice was included here, but all the commercials I've seen have women spraying their crotch. I agree that it just seems like more misogyny -- at least in the marketing. I wash when I am dirty, I sweat when I'm hot, and my boyfriend likes the way I smell. If anyone else is close enough to smell my crotch sweat, they're too damn close!
Well said. That’s exactly how I felt the first time I saw one of those commercials. My gosh here comes another product to make women feel bad about themselves . As somebody whose worked in the medical profession for a while I can tell you that if you have a noticeable smell coming from your nether regions, it’s best to go see a doctor not try to cover it up with a flowery scent.
I keep seeing all these comments "Nobody is going to get close enough to smell anyone down there." Well no, hopefully not, but you don't need to. Try sitting very close to someone, like when you're waiting in a small, cramped waiting area (Dr.'s office?) & the seats are so close together your elbows are touching. After a significant amount of time they get up, usually in a hurry because their name has been called and oh, boy, you'd be surprised at the whiff you can get from their bottom half! I'm talking about women who otherwise appear clean and well-dressed. I can't be the only one aware that this happens. Or maybe I just have the nose of a Bloodhound? Lol. I don't know, but the truth is we all sweat, esp. in warm weather, or our bodies just begin to grow more bacteria as the day wears on. It IS possible for others to smell you sometimes. Even my mom made me aware of this when I was a kid & that I should be extra mindful of my hygiene.
@@RubyWalker-j1nyou missed the point that it was invented bc of over diagnosis infection when there wasn’t any and to teach women it’s not actually the vagina but outside the body. Some DO have odor don’t think they don’t lol bc yikes
@@RubyWalker-j1nand btw the Lume ads include men. They literally say all over the body and there were commercials about ball sweat
I know Lume got a lot of complaints about the smell. I used to hate the smell but they did a reformulation and I think it smells a lot better now. But def there are a lot of people who hate the smell of Lume.
Yes, you have to let it dry and Lu Meee is how it is pronounced. Plus they have actual stick deodorant on their website.
Even after the reformulation I still can't stand the smell. It's very subtle but it's gross if it hits you that way.
unfortunately the performance of the new formulation is the problem for me. I really didn't have an issue with the smell but the new formula leaves this film that I find to be a more unpleasant sensation compared to the old one. I also felt that it didn't keep me smelling fresh as long as the old formula.
However I also haven't found anything better either.. Tried Native but it burned. Secret's unscented stick one (that I'm currently using) is okay but it is kind of oily(?). I'll probably just go back to Lume after this.
@@violetblythe6912yeah, I found that lume leaves like a waxy film. I have to wash with a full strength soap to wash it off.
It does not last 48 hours but pretty close. I have their cucumber scented one and the Alpine one.
The cucumber one smells super sweet and gross. But the regular Alpine pine breeze, smells like just plain old men's deodorant which I really like.
Only one scent got complaints, the others smell great
I’m all about people using this for other types of odors that may occur. However, with this full body deodorant craze, I just feel some people will substitute this for an actual bath. Everywhere I turn there’s a new full body deodorant ad or commercial and I’m just like I hope people are using this in addition to regular bathing.
When Lume first came out years ago I was finally able to stop bathing twice a day. Now I bathe every in summer or every other in winter. It's a relief.
I don't think this is what you meant, but reducing bathing that I really didn't have time for in my life has been a huge relief. I wish I'd had this in high school, when I showered 3 or 4 times.
Well, culturally many people don't bathe daily and that is ok.
@@vaderladyl there's nothing wrong with not bathing daily, assuming one isn't super sweaty. but there has been a trend over the last few years in the US where people (mainly white people) have been openly admitting to not bathing or showering or sponge baths or wiping or ANYTHING for days and days on end for no health reason... that kind of behavior is unacceptable. People need to take care of their bodies and also not make their negligent stank other people's problem... it is distracting and gross to be super aware of the fact that someone doesn't wash themselves regularly in public or in the workplace...
You would have to shower twice a day to keep from smelling or use Lume and only shower and apply every other day and not smell. So it is 4 showers vs 1 + Lume and the 4 shower ppl will still stink.
My brother already uses normal deodorant as a replacement for a shower. I'm surprised he hasn't picked up a can of the old spice full body yet. His ex gave him a bath and bodyworks spray deodorant though. He probably thought that was the same thing. 🤦🏻♀️
you know what's funny about Lume? i'm absolutely convinced it's one that needs a super specific person to wear it. i swap to it sometimes, and it smells great on me. i use the regular tangerine one and it smells candy-like. i know it isn't in my head, because i've had family ask me about it when hugging me and stuff. i've also seen comments online of people saying they love the smell and saying it makes them smell great. and then there's the other side, like you, that think it smells like the worst thing on earth and they hate it with every fibre of their being.
i swear it's the cilantro of the deodorant world lol
Hormone levels in your body affect how fragrances interact with your skin. It's totally normal for a perfume or lotion to smell great on one person and smell terrible on another. That's why you should test perfume on your wrist and not just a card.
@@Oceanblue_Art_ ye, absolutely. i just feel like Lume is particularly bad about absolutely stinking when interacting with certain hormones or something. like, i wonder if me negating my period for years and messing with my hormone levels intentionally has caused me to have the right levels of stuff to make Lume smell good lol
this is so true! i love it personally, the body wash specifically is amazing, i got my partner on it too! it really prevents odor in the groin which i love
It's always seemed to me that certain types of dirt when washed with Ivory soap produce an awful smell. I thought it might just be amines reacting with the alkalinity of soap, but no, it seems particular to Ivory. But most of the time it smells fine.
Cassandra, yes, I have used Lume (pronounced Loo-me) for a few years. You may have received stock when the product did have an odd odor to it. They changed formulation and that odor is gone. They also now have antiperspirant. The new formulation may be why you didn’t notice it in the body wash, which is newer. If I were you, I would contact the company for clarification (maybe they can identify age by lot numbers on your items?).
I do find it lasts 3 days as they claim. I started using it because I walk my dog twice a day and was tired of always stinking and not wanting to shower twice a day. Because you don’t have to apply daily, because it’s expensive the product does not have to be repurchased as often and they have sales that are pretty good.
I’m 68 and concerned about the nonenal odor too. They have a laundry soak that got the baked in odor out of my bras. Expensive but worth it. The bottle lasts a long time.
Used to use Native but finally determined a large red area under one arm was likely from their product. It took months to clear up. Maybe from the essential oil fragrance used? Unfortunate as I wanted to support the brand and that’s what drove me to Lume.
Very informative, thank you ❤
Did they change it? Cause it had a horrible odor when I tried it 2 years ago. My BO smelled better
I have not used it, but I did watch a video in which the creator explained that people did not like the odor and it has since been changed as a result. @@shannon890
I just tried it about 2 months ago and it smelled horrible
Lume is literal trash
As soon as you said you hated the smell of one I knew it was going to be lume. Like other people had said, their old formula smelled worse (although I never minded it much) but I've tried a bunch of other deodorants and found they either just straight up don't work or I hated their smell more. Half of Native deodorants just smell like febreeze to me and I despise it. I don't sweat very much, but lume is the only product that actually keeps my pits scent free all day no matter the weather or my activity level. I like the new formula coconut vanilla, but at the end of the day I'm guessing there's just going to be people who are more sensitive to the smell. I'm glad we're in an era of so many options.
P&G owns Native and Febreeze so that may not be a coincidence 😂
I use Lume! It's my main underarm deodorant. I used antiperspirants growing up, but in recent years I started getting a reaction in my underarms so I had to switch to deodorants without aluminum. I have tried several deodorants without antiperspirants (Native, Saltair, Myro, Salt and Stone, powder deodorants) and while they did not cause the same reactions to my underarms as antiperspirants notoriously did, they either did not last as long as claimed, would pill when applied, or would cause a dandruff like effect on my underarms (possibly from those with baking soda based formulas). I liked the original Saltair refillable stick I just had a texture issue I could not get used to. I wanted to try their serum deodorant, but when Lume reformulated I had to go back. Saltair's deodorant is mainly a Salicylic Acid based formula if I recall correctly and Lume is Mandelic Acid based, so that's what makes them good at preventing odor causing bacteria.
The old Lume formula did smell bad but was supposed to dissipate after application. In my opinion, it never smelled THAT bad, just kinda like a sour acidic undertone that went away eventually. Obviously, it bothered a lot of people and I probably got a better batch of it. This new formula definitely helped get rid of that sour acidic smell, so I feel like you may have gotten a bad batch of the reformulated Lume. They also now have an antiperspirant version that you might prefer.
Overall, I get that "whole body deodorant" became this annoying trendy gimmick, but I'm so glad to have this wide variety of deodorant/antiperspirant options now. I went so long afraid I was just gonna stink with whatever "natural" deodorant was available, but getting a "you smell really nice" even after a long day of sweating feels like such a win.
I'd bet money that you weren't reacting to aluminum but to the fragrance in the product. Try Vanicream which yes, does have aluminum in it, but it's completely fragrance free.
As a bariatric patient with some extra skin from weight loss, I've tried most of these too 😂 I'm loving the dove cream whole body deo. I have very sensitive/reactive skin with psoriasis and have been able to wear the coconut & vanilla with no issues. The native sprays are nice but I cant use under arms
Oh. Are these products targeted at people with higher body weight? I never thought of that.
@@20thcenturyrelic No, but many use it.
What??? I absolutely LOVE Lume and won't use anything else! The base smell may not be something you are used to, but it ALWAYS dissipates and leaves me literally odorless and fresh for the longest time! It never irritates any body part and never stains my clothes.
EDIT: I started using MORE since I got my new bottle and I think I just wasn't using enough. I was using a small pea size and it would quit after a few hours. I'm using double and it lasts all day long its literally amazing!
Its not strong enough for me, I still use an anti perspirant at night (because we should be using them at night, they work better that way) but Lume really does refresh and neutralize odors. I do like the scent. The caveat she should have used was that we all have our own chemistry which will affect how we perceive odors.
I LOVE that it doesn't stain clothes, love that. Antiperspirants were destroying my clothes
Absolutely!
I like how instead of reassuring women that “yes, you can have a bit of smell down there, it’s perfectly natural” the gyn decided to double down on their insecurities and take their money. Seriously, there’s a natural musk everyone has, it’s just when it’s particularly strong followed with other symptoms that you should worry- but at that point you should visit your doctor, not grab Summer’s Eve.
Why am I expected to smell like flowers down there but a guy can let his junk smell sweaty and I have to accept that?
Its not personal, they're marketing these to men also. Its easier to sell to women because of how we operate in society.
I dont like smelling bad, not exactly about "expectations" just basic respect for yourself, others and part of a civilized society.
Nobody says you have to accept a guy's stench or that your privates should smell like flowers; I think it's understood that some level of natural musk, as you call it, is normal. But what if you live in a hot climate and get sweaty? Maybe you can't get to a shower right away because you're working. Or, like me, you're going through "the change" and suffering from those awful, random hot flashes that leave you sweaty everywhere. That's when products like these are useful and appreciated.
no literally 😭
YES THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS IVE BEEN WONDERING THIS FOR MONTHS
Reminder that P&G now owns Native as well.
I’m so glad you did a video on this! I’ve been seeing ads for whole body deodorants and thought why on earth are we doing this now? Why do we need full body deodorants? I’m glad you addressed this. I’m gonna keep the deodorant to my pits and spray a bit of a nice subtle perfume and keep it moving! 😅
Thank you so much for mentioning Ceramedx so much as an alternative to CeraVe, not only are they vegan and cruelty free they also use one of my favorite ingredients, hemp seed oil!!
I absolutely love Lume! I have really sensitive skin and pits and have tried a whole host of deodorants and have found that Lume works the best for me. I don't have issues with the product smelling bad. I use both the paste and the stick in the tangerine scent. I think this is a bit of both, personal preference as well as how certain products react to your own body chemistry.
I'm so glad someone else said it. I even tried the new formula from Lume and it's still supremely awful smelling. I wanted something to help with the swampy smell that I was getting at the end of my pregnancy and postpartum because I had such drastic hormone shifts. Those were NOT it.
This video makes me giggle. Is this the new version of Axe body spray deodorant? Lol anyone who knows, knows 🤣 oh growing up in the 90s. I love your videos ❤
That's exactly my thought coming from the other side of the world where "whole body deodorant" sounds like a cash grab from the makers of Lynx (Axe I suppose!!)
When I lived with friends after my mom died, one of them used Axe...too much sometimes. I remember one morning two of us couldn't wait to get out of the van because of how much they'd sprayed. Sadly the parents probably had the smell linger in there after we got out.
Ahhh yes smells like jr high after gym class lol
Haha, we have a "No Axe usage" rule on our bus for church youth trips.
My brother and I had this conversation YESTERDAY. Your video came in like magic haha
I love your transparency and authenticity which allows your viewers to make the best decision for themselves. Thank you for your knowledge
I love lume. I’ve never been bothered by the smell or found it sticky. I was really surprised to hear your reaction.
I only used the stick kind and the smell never bothered me either
I also wish people would acknowledge that sometimes specific scents don’t react well to everyone’s body chemistry. Lume works well with mine and it helps me feel more secure when I wear it because I have strong BO. I’m not bothered by the trend at all.
I tried Native for a few months for my pits.
All that came thru was the fragrance. It was soo strong and didn’t fade for about 4 or 5 hours. After that, I could smell my body odor.
Menopausal stink is a real thing.
Huh, that's a new one to me. I never heard of it before.
It is not a real thing. I work at a nursing home and old people don’t smell any different than anyone else. I’ve been working at different types of facilities for a decade and have not noticed any smell unless they are incontinent.
That’s part of why I couldn’t use it. I have a very sensitive head for smells so I couldn’t end up finishing it.
@@charlotte-m5di think you got used to it... Most ppl under a certain age range can smell a distinct smell walking into an older person's home or care home
I started seeing a lot of whole body deodorants recently and I was wondering about them, so I’m super happy you made this video!
Omg thank you for validating my experience with lume!
Lume works !!! It's a miracle, even leaves me smelll free after a workout. I use the Lume stick form in clean tangerine.❤❤❤
Thai crystal deodorants (the sticks and sprays) are very effective for overall body odor control on ALL body parts. Witch hazel also works as well. Both of these products are less expensive and they are unscented, so you can use your regular perfumes OR no perfume if you are sensitive to smells. The extra benefit of witch hazel is it helps with external itching as well.
Right!? Now those are the OG’s and wayyyyy cheaper. Also any inexpensive Benzoyl peroxide body wash works great!!
I love witch hazel! My go-to underarm combo is crystal deodorant after shower with a clear antipersperant on top.
I love Lume. It works really well for me.
I really like the Lume paste, I think it works better (longer lasting) on my nether region then the Secret one. They said that terrible smell only occurs in a small population of humans, just like only some people's pee smell funny from Asparagus. They changed the formula recently and got rid of that strange terrible smell for the small percentage of people!
Lume didn’t work that long on me. I started to smell like onions in about 2 hours. Much worse than if I just used alcohol
@@DJarry394I don’t use them for underarm deodorant. It just doesn’t work on me. But most deodorants don’t work after a while. I’ve been seeing promising results with a dove spray deodorant before bed though! I use Lume for the rest of my body’s crevices though and it’s great.
Native is also owned by proctor and gamble. Very informative video. I might try that old spice. I have been using native because it's a ginger smell and not overwhelming.
I came here to say this! All three spray deodorants she tried are owned by P&G
I love the way you nerd out about the science of things. Thanks for another fantastic and informative video.
I recently tried the Lume stick in Clean Tangerine and honestly I love it. It’s comfortable and it smells fine to me. I don’t like scents lingering on me (Im a weirdo, I don’t even like when I can smell my own perfume throughout the day) so the fact that the scent goes away quite quickly Ive been loving it. But more importantly, it works! The heat and mugginess of the New England area is creeping in and at work it doesn’t matter how physical it gets I cant smell my body odor. So I’m pretty pleased with the experience. I would repurchase in a heartbeat but I will try Dove after Im done with Lume its a bit cheaper and if it works then Ill save a little money.
All perfume stinks to me.
Thanks for the video, Cassandra! These are completely unnecessary products, but sadly, people must be buying them, or they wouldn't be everywhere. They can even be harmful in that people are applying fragrance to delicate parts of the body.
I use Vanicream antiperspirant which is the only completely fragrance free product of this type that I've been able to find. (And I apply it ONLY to my underarms!) There are some products that claim to be unscented or for sensitive skin - specifically, Secret and Dove - but they have masking fragrances in them.
And if a person has extreme body odor issues that can't be handled with regular baths or showers, and antiperspirant applied to the underarms, they need to consult a dermatologist.
Omg I am so glad to see I’m not the only one who finds the smell of Lume absolutely revolting!
No joke, half of my UA-cam ads the past week have been for these things. I’m usually really nervous that I smell bad, but they are so irritating that I’d never consider it. (Not that I really would anyway)
You are simply delightful.
Huh - here in New Zealand we don't have pastes, or aluminium free Dove!! And I've (thank gosh) never heard of "whole body deodorant". We have deodorant and antiperspirant - and almost all deodorants are antiperspirants (I'll still never forget having to explain to my 22 year old roommate at university the difference between the two, I was younger, her odor was a problem!)
Surely full body deodorant is just cheap perfume??? Money grab??? Marketing ploy?
I use Lume and it works really well for my underarms. The acid they use in thier formula smells putrid, fr BUT once it soaks in it doesnt smell anymore.
There is nothing wrong with having a mild scent to your vagina. However, if its close to your cycle you may have a strong scent and its normal. So, when that happens you can use Lume to control some of that scent.
Lastly, ive also found it to be a confidence booster when Im getting 🙇 down there! Since his face is going to be close, its nice to know there wont be much scent. So ill shower, rub some on my palms and then dab it around the vagina. Once it absorbs, its oderless and it gives me confidence after the dinner date for the "desserts".
All and all, its a great product for me bc i also have an active job and go to the gym! So its nice to have a strong deodorant that can last all day! 🙂🧡
You could be their spokesperson. ❤
@@KrissyReloaded lol thanks, I wish! I just want to spread the word bc it's been a game changer for me and it's a women owned company!
I hope that you mean you use the deodorant on your vulva, not your vagina... Inside the vagina is described as a "self cleaning oven". It doesn't require ANYTHING to clean it and using products just increases your chance of infections, irritation and actually creating bad smells because of it.
If you're going to use products like these, OUTSIDE ONLY people!
@@theaslynn2783it's been bought by the Harry's razors guys, the original doctor lady owner is no longer involved.
You made an entire video for the exact question I've had in my head for a week
So now I need to be even more insecure about how I smell to others?! Fawk that I'll just stay home.
To me the sudden pushing of these products just reeks (no pun intended) of corporations targeting mostly women and telling them that ✨a new insecurity dropped✨ so they better buy these products so they're not stinky yucky unattractive women. I hope not many people fall for their marketing, women are already pushed to spend so much on bodycare, skincare, makeup, etc.
I use Lumé and have off and on from the beginning. The Peony Rose and the discontinued Citrus Sandlewood body wash have the best scents. And yeah, she said that some people have an issue with the active ingredient, especially with the unscented. I also found that the creme works best for lower body vrs whole body application. I love the wipes for the whole body, and Lumé is the only company that makes wipes. They travel really well in a purse/bag.
I’ve been using lume since beginning of November 2023 and I just bought my second tube.. The smell is funky, I definitely recommend scented over unscented (my first tube was unscented and I went for scented on round 2). But I shower at night and put this one twice a week fresh out of the shower, and let it soak in over night and I have no issues with the texture doing it that way. Plus no stains on my clothes. Most importantly it handles my body smells very well. I also like that my armpits are smoother than they used to be due to the exfoliating acid used in the product. I haven’t consistently used it below the belt but love it for pits and boob sweat. I’ll also say I have hidradenitis suppurativa and I believe the acid helps keep my pores and sweat glands from clogging so my HS in my under arms is almost non existent. I’m a fan despite the odd smell. I only smell it for a minute and then it soaks in and it’s gone… just smell the rose scent after that first minute.
I have been using the unscented Lume stick for 3 years. It doesn’t smell imo, and it really does last up to 3 days. Looks like you really used a large dap and that might be why it looked to sticky to us. I freaking love that product! And love the creamy bath soap they make
The old person smell bothers me so much! And not in the way people would think, to me it's the smell of death it reminds me that people are fragile and the end is near. It depresses me so much and leads me to avoid some places
thanks Cassandra! super informational as always!
The Lume Coconut smells delicious and works really well. It smells like somoas.
I use it in the morning and my antiperspirant at night
“Old people smell” starts at 40? Wow. That is hardly old. I just thought that smell was the clothing. Not everyone older has this. Some absolutely do. Could you talk more about Nonenal?
As far as Lume goes, I believe the stench is from the Mandelic Acid. It also seems to be the ingredient that stops the bacteria from growing, which cuts off or at least reduces the smell. I looked up other deodorants that use Mandelic Acid and there are many bitter complaints about the smell. If anyone wants to know, I would describe it as “putrid milk mixed with vomit.” It is awful. I need to say that I did try many other deodorants from many other companies, and this was the only one that actually worked for me. I just stunk in a different way.
I have bought Lume packages twice. The first time I only wanted unscented, but they only had it in a tube so I bought a couple of Fresh Coconut in Cream Stick and one Unscented in the tube. The fresh coconut smell was great but it dissipated within 5 seconds and then it was putrid milk vomit. The “unscented” was pure putrid milk vomit. Yum! I actually bought Lume a second time because she said she reformulated the scents. I bought only Toasted Coconut. How can you reformulate unscented? Then I didn’t really smell the putrid milk vomit, but instead I smelled like coconut candy, and from a long way away. Also not ideal. If you want to smell as if you are saturated in coconut candy, and have your clothes reek of coconut candy, then this will be great for you!
If you have nothing else to do when you are getting ready, put Lume on before you have any clothes on, then walk or sit or lie down with your arms over your head for 30 minutes. And then you can put your clothes on. If you don’t wait, the stench will get on your clothes too. I don’t have that kind of time & I bet no one else does either.
I also want to thank Lume (and now all sorts of companies jumping on the bandwagon) for telling me over and over that only women stink. I find the Lume commercials progressively more irritating. Listen, humans smell. If you are clean and your clothes are clean (the 2 big “if”s) and you feel like you stink in areas beyond your underarms, see if you have an infection or some other physical problem. That might involve more than one type of doctor. If you don’t, then consider therapy if this is ruling your life. In the animal world, smell attracts mates. It is the same for humans. Somehow we have become convinced that we should naturally smell like flowers, or nothing.
Ive been waiting for someone to talk about this
I recently started using The Inkey List Glycolic Acid Stick under my arms for smell and colour correction, I've been using it for around 3 weeks and so far, it's going great. I use it 2/3 times a week. Highly recommend, it's great
I use Lume body wash and bar soap (unscented) it is AMAZING! I could not stop getting the rash under my arms, so I do not use their deodorant. And I tried both formulas.
I use Native deodorant and I LOVE it! I use the sensitive (which is no aluminum or baking soda) and it works wonderfully. I also use their soap too. I love this scents.
I also really like the whole body deodorant bc I live in FL and as soon as you walk outside you start sweating. I don’t want to smell my sweat in certain areas. It’s not bad or even terrible (and no one else has even smelled it…but I do). I just don’t want to smell it, and it works. I like my little system ❤️!
Great video
I use Hibiclens soap, but only in areas that can get sweaty/stinky. I started using it as a preventative for HS. My husband works a physical job, outside, in central Florida, so he can get really stinky. But the Hibiclens works well to prevent odor and immediately removes any odor. We use it no more than 1/week and don't use it over the whole body, just in pits, groin, under breasts, anywhere there's a fold that can sweat. The Hibiclens is cheap, we get the large bottle with a foam dispenser and the one bottle lasts a solid year.
Hibiclens wbsite FAQ cautions against using in the genital area,
Unlike many, I am SO GRATEFUL for Lume. It actually educated me. What Cassandra informed us about, I learned with Lume and thus, I was able to do a different approach AND not feel terrible about myself. I'm not the problem, it's bacteria! 😩 Now struggling to kill that bacteria that stubbornly has clung to my clothes on the pit area! 😡
Thanks for this, Cassandra! Now I can try other brands other than Lume. I only liked Lume's cucumber mint... The rest-- I didn't really like.
Oxyclean soaks! I soaked my tops for a couple days and washed, then repeated a couple times. That did the job. I still use Oxyclean spray or soaks on my shirts when they're heavily worn. My polyester scrub tops get a 24hr soak in the washing machine after every wear because the synthetic fibers seem to really hang onto stink. I also soak my bras before each wash - again, because of the high synthetic fiber content.
I'm so glad you covered this! I was beginning to wonder what had happened to people that after a few hours, the downstairs smelled so bad that even a shower wasn't good enough!
BTW, Summer Eve and Vagisil always had who-ha deodorant for those who needed it. I guess.
As an old woman I never did, and still don't, get any complaints. Lucky I guess 😂😂😂
every gynecologist or health teacher I've ever had has said that women don't need to and should not use vaginal washes or deodorants, idk how those companies are still in business (jk I do, it's because they target women's insecurities, but still)
I use Lume and ordered them through their website. The paste with sweat control smells fine, I have the lavender one 😌
I really like the crystal deodorant stick for… all the places!! (Its basically a salt rock and it works pretty well!!)
it makes me so nervous that some women think they should put this on their private parts. even if it says it’s safe, you should really never put anything there that you don’t need 😭
Europeans think we are very offensive smell etiquette wise. I agree, I think we try to use too much scent.
Use Lume with no problems. But I prefer the stick over the cream tube so maybe the smell is different. I never thought the cream was sticky but I didn’t like the delivery method. Interesting.
FINALLY oh em gee thank you sm i keep getting those stupid ads on tv bc i watch cable and i don't like them tbh but thank you omg
Also, I love Lumē & it works great for me, but my kid gags at the smell of the mandelic acid (I assume, since that seems to be the difference between Lumē & other deos?). However, she can handle it after 30 minutes or so.
I want another deo company to come out with something in the same area (mandelic acid), but something different to try to see if it can be even better.
Hello Cassandra. You asked about experience with Lume. I have allergy to aluminum deodorant products, developing a terrible itchy skin. I agree with other commenters, Lume odor must depend on your chemistry ; how it will smell on you. I like the lavender scent but, it only works for 12 hours for me. I have to apply in AM and before going to bed. I can not imagine it working 72 hours. I have a friend who is VERY sensitive and can only use the unscented version, which smells bad to me. BUT, when my friend wears it, I never noticed bad odor around her. She must be one of those people whose chemistry works with the product.
I also purchased because I wanted to support this OB-GYN who designed the product. She really tried to help those of us sensitive to aluminum products. She put a lot of effort and her own money to formulate. Why didn't the big companies try to create this product before? They have SO much funding money! However, since she has sold the company, I will likely try one of the products by Dove or Old Spice to see if I can find a formulation that works longer for me.
Thank you for reviewing and trying to help us all navigate the array of non aluminum based deodorant products on the market.
My husband and I tried Lume and had to throw it all away…stunk like the worst body odor…wtf⁉️
Hack with Lume smell: try the body wash…. MUCH BETTER! I tried the travel size of the cream version of the whole body deo and it was BAD specifically the tangerine one. I use the body wash then my regular soap and when i get out the shower i top that with my regular lotion and native deodorant and its been the equivalent to the clinical antiperspirant for me
So... basically just perfumes? I still don't get the trend lol. I have hyperactive sweat glands and oversweat with really strong odor. I get super dehydrated from how much I sweat and I somehow have the capacity to sweat through 3 layers of clothing in minutes. Even just 10 min after shower I'm soaked and reek. But at least I feel really cleansed after this massive internal shower lol. If I ever had any mysterious toxins in or near my skin, I've probably sweated them out. So, keeping my clothes clean for more than a few minutes, is kinda challenging.
But all I do is shower daily and use strong, medical antiperspirants on my armpits (I have one that is basically just aluminum and alcohol, it stings like a motherfucker but it works for a whole ass week (well, 5-6 days) so it's totally worth it) and that completely takes care of that issue. I can re-use my shirts for a couple of days, and although I still sweat, it's mostly just completely odorless water which doesn't feel dirty. I don't have to do anything extra with any other part of my body. Just keep clean. So I wonder what could possibly cause a full body stench that isn't fixable with washing and regular deodorants, unless you're old, I guess.
But then again I don't see how this is anything different from the spray deodorants that were really popular in the early 2000's. (I still have my old "spray date" deodorant I bought as a teen back in like 2005 lol. It's nostalgia.) Seems to be doing about the same thing. They too were said to be okay to use just about everywhere. And like... that's an at least 20 years old concept. Hardly a new invention.
I LOVED the lume full body deodorant and recommended it to all of my friends! I swore by that stuff... until I switched to another scent and suddenly had a severe allergic reaction to the point where my underarms were cracking and bleeding. I tried going back to the original scent that I used and I still had a reaction (although less severe). So, I stopped using it. Also, I do remember the founder of lume posting a video one time about how people were complaining about the scents and said that there is an ingredient in the deodorant that some people are really sensitive to so they tried to put out a scentless option but it didn't really work because those people were smelling the active ingredients in the product, not the added scent.
Hey I'm early! ❤ Haven't watched yet but guessing they're copying Lume. 😊
Probably because Lume has stolen some of their customers, like me.
I like that you mentioned perfume. I use that the most alongside my stick deodorant.
Your videos are so thoughtful and in-depth. As always, thanks for creating quality content and education.
thank you for this video! i was thinking about buying Lume because one of my fave podcasts is sponsored by them, but i'm soooo sensitive to bad smells and i feel like i'd gag too. im glad you reviewed the alternatives so that i know what to buy instead!
I'm sensitive to that too! If I get near certain fruit things I get nauseous
As I was scrolling through my subscription feed, a Lume commercial popped up on my tv. I took that as a sign that I should watch you video now instead of in my playlist. I've actually used Lume deodorant before, but just on my pits a few years ago so it wasn't the same formula as the 72 hr tube on the commercial.
Instead of using that, why don't people actually wash their 🍑 with water & soap? Pee & poo are hard to remove just by using toilet paper. Bidet will be the instant solution guys!
This for the people that sweat easily or have physically demanding jobs that cause you to sweat or perspire in a snap.
The information in this video is super helpful! I’m definitely curious to try some of the deodorants you mentioned. On a separate note: was anyone else shocked to see Natalie Madsen from Studio C and JK Studios in that Lume commercial?
Lume (pronounced loo mee) has an almost instantly vanishing icky smell, but it really only lasts a matter of seconds when it’s exposed to air. I’ve been using it for years now and in the very beginning they ran into trouble because the icky smell was even more pungent and people were understandably convinced it had gone bad so they weren’t about to put it on their skin. I read reviews before ordering so I knew to expect that smell, but it was still jarring. But the icky smell vanished after a minute just as the reviews said it would.
I especially like Lume’s wipes because I live in the desert and occasionally work with horses. During the summer it’s 115° and dusty outside and OMG does it feel amazing to jump in the car, crank up the AC, and go at the sweaty dirt. I use water wipes made for babies on my face but everything else gets the Lume wipe.
I’m so glad someone made a video about this- IF YOUR WHOLE BODY SMELLS BAD - it’s time to change your diet PERIODT. That being said -just bathe regularly eat right and most likely you won’t smell weird
Im so glad you talked about this because i felt the same way about the smell! returned it to target
I desperately wanted to love Native. I bought a deodorant stick and body wash from them both in the coconut scent, and it smells good and didn't irritate my skin (which is great!). But oh lord, it did not deoderize my armpits or anywhere I put it, and it made my BO smell WORSE! I normally use Secret, and the deodorant will last through hard workouts and overnight, sometimes up to 3 days if I don't do much. But in a matter of hours, Native made my stink way way more stanky than I'd ever been, and the body wash did this as well (for the groin area) and I didn't even sweat or do a workout or anything. It just was not for my personal chemistry I guess. I really wish Secret would follow suit though and come out with cardboard canisters for their deodorants!
I admire how you held all those deodorants the whole video
Your hair looks amazing !!!! ❤❤
I love the lume deodorant it’s the only natural deodorant I’ve found that doesn’t break me out
I use a benzoyl peroxide wash, like Panoxyl. It kills the bacteria on your skin, which prevents the perspiration from developing an odor. Haven't tried it in the groin area because I'm not sure if it will be too harsh, but it works great in the armpits.
So interesting, thank you! These ads haven't made it to Australia yet (though it's Winter, so I'm sure the ads will come with Summer), so I was just curious about the whole idea. Thanks for giving so much information and insight, fantastic video!
Whole body deodorant is a marketing scam that feeds on young people's insecurities.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that had this issue with Lume! I was suckered into buying a bundle where I got a bunch of different products and the only thing that didn’t smell like booty was the stick. Even the wipes smelled horrible.
I've been using the Lume cream deodorant in the lavender scent and I really like it for odor. I use it on my underarms, under bust and crotch. For me it gets rid of the musty odor which is the real goal. I'm busty and have thick thighs so I have crevasses that don't get a lot of air or light, add that with my dad's sweat genetics it makes a breeding ground for odor causing bacteria. For me in particular the area where my thighs meet my crotch can produce a lot of odor which can make me feel self conscious. Especially since there's so much stigma around vaginal smells and what it should and shouldn't smell like. So I'm glad there's more products on the market to deal with odors in more delicate areas besides the arm pits.
I tried Lume when it first became popular and was extremely disappointed. As a woman, I unfortunately sweat almost exclusively from my groin. When I saw Lume, I was excited that maybe there was something I could use that would actually work! I found the scents (like vanilla) smells like cheap quality perfume (if you know, you know) and it didn't fight the smell of body odor. I simply smelled like sweaty locker with a hint of vanilla. I have to use Old Spice stick deodorant cause it's the only brand I have found that last more than 2 hours for me.
Personally, I’m against this weird taboo we have with the natural scent of our bodies. If you bathe regularly or after exertion or a hard day’s work, it’s really not that offensive. Everyone wants to smell like some product, but I don’t think it’s worth it to apply something so heavily that it may be disrupting your normal skin flora or being absorbed into your bloodstream. I used to use extra-strength antiperspirant as a teenager because I was so worried about it, but now I don’t use anything and I don’t smell any worse for it. Less is more.
The other thing that gets ignored is this: the only reason we have to go nuclear on our oral bacteria every day with H2O2 and other antimicrobial oral care products is because of the toxic refuse we feed ourselves that promotes the growth of pathogenic organisms on our teeth. People who don’t eat processed food tend not to experience dental disease, even if their hygiene habits aren’t stellar. It follows that if you eat garbage, you might end up smelling like garbage, too. I think this applies to BO as much as it does to halitosis.
I'm so sick of companies trying to convince us to buy everything.
You're definitely not the only one that had that experience with Lume just going by some of the reviews that I saw.
I was hesitant to try it for that very reason (and the cost).
A lot of deodorants irritate my skin or simply dont work and I'd tried DOZENS of brands.
I eventually bit the bullet and tried the Lume Toasted Coconut stick and I was pleasantly surprised. It worked well for me without that a$$ smell that others experienced. I've already gone through like 7 sticks of the stuff with no bad reactions.
It's definitely a hit or miss product but it does work really really well for some people.
Thank you for your videos, Cassandra! We love you. ❤🎉
My oncologist said not to use aluminum and Im good with that advice.
Been using my deodorant as a whole body deodorant for around 25 years. About time they woke up.
I have the dove spray, I love how easy it is the spray anywhere and the light not overpowering smell
