<\/div>\n

Nearly five years ago, I published a review<\/a> of Lume deoderant. And, to be honest, I’d mostly forgotten about it. But, for some reason, that review has seen a significant increase in views and comments in the last few weeks. So, I figure I should share an update that I can link to from the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main change? I’ve stopped using Lume. I don’t remember exactly when I stopped, but my last order was in July of 2022, so I imagine it was sometime in early 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Over time, I found that Lume just didn’t work well if I wore clothes made from synthetic materials. I could spend an entire day inside, doing virtually nothing, and still smell bad at the end of the day if I wore synthetic fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried to look for clothing with natural materials, but those tend to be significantly more expensive, especially for work clothes. While I could, technically, afford it, my weight was fluctuating, and I didn’t want to spend much on clothes that I may or may not be able to wear for very long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I Switched To<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I first stoped using Lume, I switched to Dove deoderant with a high mosturizer content. But, there was still my initial problem with traditional deoderants: no matter how much I scrubbed in the shower, it still felt like there was a residue. I felt like I was back at square one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found my answer when Angelica Nyqvist<\/a> shared her issues with American deoderants in one of her videos. She left a link to the roll-on deoderants that are more popular in Sweden \u2014 according to her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And those are what I’m currently using. They’re great for odor control, wash off well, and dry completely \u2014 no need to worry about white residue on your clothes. Granted, it does take a minute or two to dry, but I’ll deal with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, it doesn’t matter what type of fabric I wear. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
