As you may know by now if you have been following and reading the product reviews…..

I switched over to natural deodorant.  I tried TOM’s of Maine first. It was supposed to be long lasting but honestly, for me, it would stop working within a few hours depending on what I was doing.  I would put it on at 4:30am and after driving and walking the 1/2 mile to work from the parking lot I felt like I needed to shower and put new deodorant on in just two hours.

So I started asking Co-workers, Playgroup mom’s, and friends….what they use.  A bunch of different companies came up but the one that came up the most from the widest variety of people.

So I decided to give it a shot.

I mean what is the worst that could happen……

I could not work for me…….Well I used the TOM’s for months and that didn’t work for me at all.  But I finished it off so that I wouldn’t waste any.

Now there are two different kinds of deodorant that Schmidt’s makes.  The first is the “pot” as in the picture.

When I first purchased this deodorant I wasn’t really sure that I would like it.  The thought that you you have to put it on your fingers and work it a little bit to warm it up was not what I had in mind.  I mean I had always used regular deodorant sticks that you typically get at the grocery store.

“What am I getting my self into”

“do I really want to do this”

“This for some reason seems really disgusting”

Ohhh yeah those ran through my head for a few days until I mustered up enough courage to finally just try it!

So I finally tried it!  Wow This is amazing!

You want to know what I found out……..I tried the traditional deodorant stick that Schmidt’s has and I realized that I actually really like the pot version.

The stick version is great for those who have a hard time switching or think that rubbing the deodorant between your fingers is gross.  But I will tell you this… by warming up the deodorant in between your fingers first you are making it easier to spread over your underarms.  It is much harder to do this with the deodorant stick.  The residue/remaining deodorant from the pot easily comes off with washing your hands with your hand soap and  water.

Even the most stressful days in the Cardiovasular ICU this deodorant stays with me and doesn’t leave me wishing for a shower.  I can head home and not smell like I was rolling around with the pigs on the farm.  I still sweat  (which is totally natural) but not smell.  With TOM’S I would start sweating right off the bat.

I now know why Schmidt’s has won so many awards and has been featured from news print to magazines and all over the internet.

If you have every thought about switching to natural deodorant and getting rid of the aluminum and other controversial chemicals …….I think that this is one that you have to try.  I honestly think that my search has ended her…..Now it is all about finding my favorite smell!  I do love the Lavender and Sage
