This review is from: 3M Ultrathon SRL-12HF Insect Repellent Hands Free Lotion, 1.5 oz (Lawn & Patio)

Tried a natural repellent, didn't work. Didn't want to use 100% deet, so the 33% deet offering 12hr protection seemed to be a less toxic alternative. Applied sparingly, Ultrathon worked very well. Reapplied after swimming. The sponge top did not really work that well. Next time I will buy the bottle of lotion instead.

This review is from: 3M Ultrathon SRL-12HF Insect Repellent Hands Free Lotion, 1.5 oz (Lawn & Patio)

This lotion works well and goes a long way, but it can be a bit heavy and greasy. That's what makes the sponge applicator good. You don't have to use your hands. The down side is it takes a couple minutes to apply the lotion. It's not fast like a deet spray. But most sprays stink, and this is mild in the odor department. And it repels well - we were in India for 2 weeks, and I never got a bug bite while I used this lotion.

The 3M Ultrathon Insect Repellent works well. It helps prevent bug and fly bites. The sponge applicator helped my son apply the cream.
