Does LUME DEODORANT WORK? | Dr Dray

[@purplehyacinth5646]

Lume has made a major difference for me! Working 12 hr shifts in a hospital, I sometimes smell like a high school boys locker room. I put Lume on my groin and my feet and I have no odor when I’m done with my shift! I don’t think anyone else “smells” me but it gives me peace of mind

[@LaceyLace_]

I agree. Lume has worked for me but I have to use it everyday. I don't have a vag infection or any of those infections; just body odor that people get in their armpits. I've been prescribed antibiotics over and over to take care of this issue but obviously once the meds run out the stink comes back. It doesn't matter if I wear cotton panties or loose fitted clothes. The only thing that I've found that has worked is to GIVE UP all sugars - bread, cakes, rice, noodles, pasta, etc. I can only have fruit as a sweet item and, guys, this effing sucks, trust me. Lume works for me and I will continue to use it.

[@jaakpotts]

@Crystal Letona I have the tangerine and it’s very soft, barely noticeable. And after being on my skin for a minute or two, the scent is gone and that’s exactly how I like it. The unscented is just a little “smelly” for me.

I’ve always struggled with finding a good deodorant. Degree Clinical is the only thing that has kept smells away. I’ve been using Lume Unscented for a month now and I was super skeptical about it even working… and OMG it does work!!! Yes, you’ll sweat a bit but ZERO smell. I feel so confident and happy! I have a backup plan, if I see myself sweating more than I’m ok with, then I’ll use the Degree Clinical at night maybe once a week and then just use Lume on a daily basis.

I've been using lume for over a month now and I am blown away at how well this works for me personally. I use it under my arms and private areas, no irritation at all and it does exactly what it says it will. It is a little pricy, however a little goes a long way and I'm still on my first tube. My husband who works in construction finally listened to me and tried it. Needless to say, he's impressed with its results and is still using it. Plus it doesn't have the aluminum and chemicals like regular antiperspirants and deodorants.

I couldn't believe the problem was over in 3 days. I was blown away how little information we have about the most basic things on our health and hygiene!

After menopause, hormones definitely shift & cause body odour. I started Testosterone about 5 months ago & I'm getting a great deal of menopausal symptoms [which is inconvenient but fine by me, personally]... One of the first things I noticed is that I smell so much more than I did before! It's wild how fast it changed. Thankfully my hot flashes are getting fewer & farther between now, lolol Going in w/ just water is so important for vaginal health. Using soaps on the bikini line is okay, but you're just setting yourself up for discomfort & yeast infections, especially when you're experiencing a hormonal shift... Gotta keep it as healthy as possible. 😊

[@ZijnShayatanica]

@@kam0406 Oh, I'm not taking it as a treatment for menopause! Lol. I'm using it because I'm trans, but some of the first symptoms are obv things like hot flashes because you're putting your body through a very similar hormonal shift. It's not exactly the same, but... Similar enough that I figure I have useful input in the matter. Sorry for the confusion!! As far as a treatment for menopause, I think some women/females who have a high risk of Estrogen-responsive cancers use Testosterone during menopause?? But it's definitely uncommon. I read about it when I was assessing the risks/benefits on my body & went down an endocrinology rabbithole. 😝

Thanks for making this video Dr.!! I suffer from hyperhydrosis and this product has been huge for me. The first year using it, I felt it didn’t work. But I slowly learned that this deodorant is NOT a masking product. It does not work well when applied to dirty or already stinky body areas. It is a preventative product. It must be applied fresh out of the shower for maximum results! It has worked great for me. I can go up to 4 days before I smell anything (tested while camping lol). I’m a huge believer in this product!

[@beautibrew]

I was extremely skeptical of Lume before I tried it (especially because of their marketing of it as a solution for "odor below the belt" as they refer to it as, which I can't stand) but finally got suckered into buying it a few months ago when desperate to find something that would help with underboob sweat stench. I will never use this product anywhere near my groin area, but as an underarm and underboob deodorant this is genuinely the best product I have ever used. I don't enjoy the fragranced ones and don't recommend them, but the unscented one honestly smells great from just the unaltered smell of the ingredients and it really does work to eliminate odor for as long as it says it does. Still hate the marketing of it but honest to god the deodorant is fantastic.

I loved this deodorant when it first came out. It does what it says. Very lotiony and non irritating, and really does eliminate odor EVERYWHERE, and did not at all require daily usagr. The fragrance was very minimal and disappears immediately, really doesn't mask odor. However, they changed the formula and now all scents and even unscented smells like vomit. I emailed the company about this, and they eliminated ingredients that are perceived as "bad" but as you have discussed really aren't as harmless as the clean beauty movement suggests. The foul smell does dissipate immediately, tho. Still, disappointing that clean beauty has ruined a great product.

Same thing happened to Cerave. They reformulated due to the "wahhh parabensss!!" crowd, and now many people are having bad reactions to products they used to love. It's unfortunate, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and the rabid "clean beauty" people are very squeaky.

The warm vanilla scent is the bomb. It’s not overpowering, doesn’t clash with my perfume, and it simply works. I use it for pits, under my breasts, and my crotch, not my vulva, but the leg crease. Love this stuff and scrimp on other things so I can have it. I alternate between Native vanilla sandalwood (Walgreens scent) every other use but if it’s church or something special, I don’t use anything but my Lume.

[@annesiikarla1729]

I really love it. I've turned many friends onto it and I'm not a natural deodorant person. I don't use it in the privates, per se, but more where my legs meet the groin (essentially where your underwear seams are), I also use it under my breasts and on my very active son's feet. After a basketball tournament, the ride home in the car was disgusting as everyone could smell his feet. So, the next time he had 4 games in a row, I put Lume on the bottoms of his feet and I kid you not... no smell when he took off his shoes. So, I definitely think this product has its place.

[@Pamela-B]

I love Lume. I do not put it inside any parts. Just the outside skin. On the feet, under breast’s, even in the outer rim of my belly button. 😄 I don’t use it on my underarms. I use a regular antiperspirant there. But I haven’t tried it there either. It’s important to note that Lume should be applied to clean dry skin and don’t glob it on. Just a very thin layer is all that’s needed.

I use Lume, and I love it! My privates (at the juncture of my thighs and my crotch) sweat during sleep, which makes me adverse to morning “intimacy” with my husband because of the unpleasant smell.

I've been using Lume for about six months and it's amazing! I work in healthcare and can spend hours in COVID isolation gear, which leaves you drenched in sweat. I have literally gone 3 days of 12 hour shifts without reapplying Lume and no odor. For work I use unscented, days off I like Silver Spruce. I am large breasted and tend to sweat alot in the groin area. Lume has been a lot of help in those areas, for my groin I use unscented only. I have sensitive skin, never have had a problem.

I truly had no odor for those 3 days, so I left it on just to see how long it really lasts. I would say that I didn't start to smell any hint of odor until day 5, so it really was a 5-day, no-smell week. NICE!! I recommend it to my family. My next test is to try it in the private parts. I also break out easily from changing deodorants, but this didn't break me out.

I've used this the last couple years. It works amazing for my underarms. No smell whatsoever even with lots of sweating. I love it.

The way she sold me on it was having me (very reluctantly) sniff her armpits after a long outside birthday party in July. I was shocked there was no smell and gave it a try as well.

PSA for people buying Lume from Amazon: Reviews with customer images show a difference in product quality and color between Amazon and the Lume site. Some people show that the Amazon Lume product is a light brown color and the one from the Lume site is white, also claiming they smell different. They provided images and I just wanted to pass the info along. I have not tried, but have been looking due to the massive influx in funny commercials. "You have enough douche bags in your life Cheryl." I do not plan to buy, but was hoping this would help someone to avoid Amazon if you wish to try Lume (even after Dr. Dray's review). Have a wonderful and blessed day! ❤

If you are smelling ammonia or fish this is probably something you should see a GYN about. Lume only helps with the natural human stink from sweat that all humans have, male or female. I had bacterial vaginosis years ago and that is NOT a natural smell, it really smells like rotting fish. But a simple course of antibiotics will clear it right up, and then if you still have odor, Lume is worth a try. It works great for me and I have a very sweaty job.

Then claiming you need it if said suds smell like butt lol Now obviously it's not meant to be applied internally, but they very much are saying you can apply it to the butt crack/hole and vaginal lips and whatnot.

“Preparing your clothing”, in my case, meant spraying the armpits of my shirts with an enzymatic fabric cleaner like Nature’s Miracle or Zout. It helps rid your clothing of the odor causing bacteria that can still hang out on your clothes even after you wash them. I ended up having to just throw away a few shirts, though. Since I’ve been using Lume (for 2 years now) and I regularly treat all my shirts now. I don’t have any odor left over in my shirts now. Lume is also great for me because the skin of my underarms is very sensitive and every other deodorant I’ve ever used has eventually caused severe, itching flaming red rashes.
