Thai Deodorant StoneCrystal Stone in Basket

I saw the other reviews who seemed to not understand that this not a stone like in a rock, but just solid salt, so you use it after the shower or with a bit of water, and yes it slowly wears down but can last years with every day use even. But dry, as some other reviewers seemed to imply it probably does nearly nothing.. as expected. Rub the salt bar like 20 seconds or so for best results. and this one, is a much better shape and packaging(ie no packaging) so you just hold it in your hand. the others have normal deoderant type screw up/pop up type packaging which dont work at all (as salt crystals jam up the threads so they stop turning), and this one is larger stone so actually cheaper and better.

Since I tried this about 6 years ago I used no other deodorant. I started getting allergic to so many things so I decided to give a try after I heard someone talking about how good this was as a deodorant. Well I went to Amazon and got my first one. Is not expensive and last me for years and is an alum stone 100% natural.

Works great on my hands and feet. I love the little basket keeps the crystal clean dry and the bathroom neat. My hands and feet sweat excessively in the summer heat.

Love it

I loved this Alum stone, very effective

I’ve always used the crystal brand but decided to try this out. After a month or so of using I can say I prefer the crystal brand better. This doesn’t seem to work as well and it always irritates my skin. I’ve scratched myself multiple times with it. I even dip it in the bath water before using to try to soften it up some and it still scratches me. I really wanted to like but won’t be purchasing it again.

I bought this product because my deodorant stopped working. Not because I'm worried about the aluminum content in deodorants. I've had this problem in the past and have always been able to remedy it switching deodorant brands. This last time though none of them worked. I stunk within hours of application. Desperate I began researching and found the deodorant stones as an option. I read lots of reviews from multiple brands and have only tried THAI. The important thing though is that it worked. I didn't have results right away like many people have stated. The first week of applying at night after a shower only provided a little change in odor. After a few days with little results I tried multiple applications and a larger surface area. After washing the odor from my underarms I reapplied the product from 2 to 3 times a day and subsequently got a sore rash. I think it was just too much. The rash cleared in 24hrs with a little hydrocortisone cream. Around this time though I noticed that I wasn't having near the odor as before so I continued using the stone. In two to three weeks time I would say I have very little BO. So far after about a month of using this product I still have a little BO that I can smell on my clothes at the end of the day. I do shave my underarms in the shower and apply after. Naturally If you use it like I do, the product will sting a little from the micro shaving cuts when you first start using it. It felt like something was prickling my underarms until it dried. For the first few weeks that prickling feeling, almost like an itch, returned when I would sweat during the day and the product became wet again. Now that my body is used to it I no longer have that happen. Now because I am a heavier sweater the idea of the stone not providing an antiperspirant was a bit troubling. The last week or so I have been applying both the stone and a newly bought traditional deodorant, but I find that I have more odor when I use them together. It doesn't make sense to me but my nose isn't lying. I haven't had any staining of my cloths. The stone its self is a little larger than an extra large egg. It sits nicely in the basket they provided on my sink and I think it would look nice in any bathroom. I can't say this product is a miracle and that I have absolutely no odor when using it but it definitely worked for me. Maybe even a little better than my traditional deodorants. I have forgotten to apply it a few times and not had problems with OB the next day, Perhaps the salt has killed off an overgrowth of bacteria that was causing increased BO.

Fantastic product. Used it for about two weeks and haven't had the slightly whiff of underarm odor since the first application. Lasts all day and into the next - way longer than any deodorant or anti-perspirant I've every used.
