Look up Nuud. Works quite well.
I love nuud, I keep telling people about it but it's like shouting into a void for some reason. It takes us forever to get through a tube because it lasts so long (I usually go between 4-5 days between putting it on). It also cuts through my boyfriend's spice which is great for me lol. Best deodorant ever.
I have mentioned it to one of my friends a few times (who tends to have a bit of bo) and she always just brings up how great arm and hammer deodorant is. Idk I don't want to be like "but dude you smell"
Just looked it up on Amazon. Thank-you. Hopefully I can get a tester from nuud themselves rather than the £25 there!
Burnt myself recently on a traditional deo having tried to stay away from Aluminium based one; I think it held it too close on this occasion. I'm old and it shouldn't have happened. Had many small blood blisters under my arms but internally. Horrible. Anyway, it seems to have changed me. Since then I've been sensitive to many deodorants.
Currently looking for something else that works, hopefully Nuud is it. Thank-you.
It seems expensive per tube but you use such a small amount (I split a pea size amount between both pits) at a much lesser rate than normal deodorants that even the smaller tubes last a long time. I bought the biggest size last time I bought it and we've barely made a dent.
There is a small breaking in period for some people, and you are supposed to prep your clothes to reduce residual bacteria (I just wash with the lysol laundry disinfectant, I have two kids everything is germy), but once you find your groove for how often you need it is the best thing ever. At this point I would never go back to regular deodorant.
It also has a nice unscented smell, I can get headaches with strong scents so that was a big bonus. I actually tried Lume because of all the ads and it seemed cheaper but I hated the smell (got a sample pack and they were all awful) I had to use it daily and more if it so I ended up just tossing it after a few weeks and going back to nuud. I don't know why people like it.
Anyway, rambling now, I hope it helps you and you like it.
It's not really about the cost but the initial outlay. I don't want to pay out that kind of money for a test. Not that I don't believe you etc etc.
TBF I haven't been to the OEM website to see if I can get a tester! So almost definitely my bad.
Thank-you again. Struggling to get stuff done atm so hopefully get back soon.
Yeah i think it's great. Only works 2 days for me though. Not the 3-4 days advertised. I'm not complaining though I'll never use deodorant sticks again.
