Petit Vour Vegan Subscription Box Review – January 2019

The Kaia Naturals Underarm Bar is a soap, your husband has it right. You use this for under your arms while taking a shower before putting on your deodorant, it helps it last longer regardless if you’re using a natural deodorant or not. It can also be used for stinky feet or anywhere you need an extra clean. But use it as a soap!!

Please click on your link for the Underarm bar and then read how to use it haha. It tells you exactly what to do. I would think a reviewer would do this. It is supposed to be in the shower and is like a soap for your armpits! Your husband had it right for the most part!

I think the Holi(Stick) Deodorant by AGENT NATEUR is hands down the best. Its pricy for sure but THE best in green beauty. I bought my husband the No.5 which is the male version and he loves it. I love No.4 version!!

LAVANILLA hands down!!! Just the plain formulation is my favorite. They make lemon vanilla, coconut vanilla , grapefruit vanilla, lavander vanilla as well as the new elements (air/ earth/ water) line mentioned already.
Don’t like the smell of elements that much.

However, it is $7 for the small deoderant for .9 ounze. They also sell a “sports” formula that is for working out. It is stronger, but I like the smell more of the plain one.

I have tried EVERY natural deodorant. This one is the best, although Tom of Maine works well and can often be found at regular stores.

You will likely have to reapply if you are going to use natural deodorants. I keep mine in my purse, reapply in the bathroom or especially if you feel dampness. Not a big deal.

My only tip is to put it on first thing when you get out of the shower and also have it be the first product on your underarm (before lotion).

As for the detox process. I think its a bit blown out of proportion to sell more products.

Try to just wear the natural stuff on your days off and on workdays wear the aluminum stuff until you can switch from an “anti-perspirent” to a “deoderant” (no aluminum in deoderant usually). Wean yourself off it slowly.

Although when I just looked up Lavanilla they sell a underarm mask you apply twice a week and it has a brush applicator. Its a brand I trust. I bet you could get they same effect with a charcoal face mask, and if you get ingrown hairs you can use a touch of acne product (dermotoligist told me I could also do this on my bikini line).

Good luck! Don’t give up! I think its worth it just for peace of mind.

Way of will is fantastic and worked well for my husband after surgeries and being laid up for two months – first month he could not stand up so all he got was sponge baths and WOW made a stunning difference.
Personally I use a mineral rock which the first few times did not work for me but then I realized you have to rub it on vigorously. It kills bacteria that creates smell so won’t stop sweating but just odor. But not sweating is a terrible idea that prevents body from unloading toxins so I love my rock.

Captain Blankenship Lime & Vetiver cream deodorant. I buy it from Dermstore.

I’ve been working on finding the perfect pit combo for a long time now… last summer I bought one of those metal ‘soap’ bars one keeps in the kitchen to rub one’s hands on to remove onion & garlic smells after chopping them. I used it in the shower after soap/rinsing (as I had read) and I don’t think it worked very well.
Apple cider vinegar worked pretty well (using a natural deo after- I was using Taylor’s) but a process.
So I am dying to try this soap/paste! I would love it if we did another thread in the Forum about this. I hate thinking I could be the stinky girl in class!!!

I’ve been using the Kopari deodorant and it works the best for me so far, easy to apply and keeps odor away all day, and I’ve tried quite a few other natural brands. That Oh My Gaia sound interesting though!

You need to detox your armpits for about a month from aluminum. It’s gonna be a stinky month, but during that time I used several charcoal face masks on my pits and that really helped (maybe twice a week I’d put one on before I showered and then rinse).

I use Schmidt’s full-time like several other reviewers mentioned, and I literally never smell. I live in Florida and I sweat a lot – so that’s saying something.

I haven’t transitioned yet to natural deodorant, either — my understanding is that it is common to be stinky for a while while your body adjusts. (which explains why I haven’t switched over yet!)

So if you’ve only been giving natural deodorant a road test one day at a time, you probably aren’t getting the true experience of how the product works.

I LOVE the Schmidt’s deodorant. You have to warm the stick up in your hands first or apply under your arms and then hold your arms down to “melt” the deodorant before you can spread it around but it works ALL day for me.

They have a bunch of scents at TJ Maxx and Marshalls for $3.99 and a few on clearance for $1.999 if you want to try them. They have an unscented as well.

My son has been using The Under Arm Bar as a SOAP all weekend long. It lathers great! It works very well for his active lifestyle at keeping away odors better than any of the national brands have. He has been using it in conjunction with a Schmidt deodorant and has had no armpit odor for the past 4 days now! Mom is truly impressed!

The Plum Beauty Oil looks like the winner in this box.

I’ve tried Schmidt’s and Lavanila’s Detox and Lavanila’s Sport and either Earth or Air–some sort of element, the one that was more “grounded”. The Schmidt’s has not worked for me anywhere near as well as Lavanila (which I buy at Sephora, btw, if you want to try it). Just bought Tom’s of Maine’s Mango, or something like that, but haven’t tried it yet. I’m up for trying the Erin’s recommended Oh My Gaia, if I can find it at Whole Foods or somewhere other than having to place a $50 for free shipping, etc

Natural deodoranting is hard, y’all.

The underarm bar is literally a soap, found these info from their website.

How to use:
– Moisten the bar and create a paste.
– Apply to odorous areas (underarms or feet.) in a circular motion.
– Leave on for 30 seconds before rinsing.
– Use daily with the takesumi detox® charcoal deodorant.

One of the reviews said this product is good to get rid of skin tags! Can’t wait to try because I have one or two on my neck, very small but still annoying…

Heheheh, funny <3
It kind of is a soap in that it is meant to be moistened and apparently rinsed. It's a pre-deodorant preparation. You probably don't have to say anything to hubby unless you want to have it back. :))

I’ve tried tons of different natural deodorants, & my daily one is called Oh My Gaia. They’re a small company & make such incredible different scents, all of which smell fresh and real, rather than artificial. I teach high school & my students will often compliment my “perfume”…which is really just my deodorant. They also last at least 12 hours in my experience. Of course, if anti-perspirant is important to you they won’t work for that.

The kaia naturals detox bar is soap. Directions are to moisten it, make a paste leave under arms for 30 seconds then rinse off. I hope that helps.

LOL, my husband would have done the same thing XD well if it doesnt work for you, at least the product wont go to waste lol
