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 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.

This product is great if you want complete protection from mosquitos. You also can keep your hands free because of the sponge. The sponge did get dirty (I used the product in a dusty part of the world), but otherwise it worked well. I had no mosquito bites while using the product.

I have only purchased the Ultrathon with the sponge top and that was a mistake. The product is very sticky and difficult to squeeze out of the tube and after one use, the sponge got sticky and caked that it really couldn't be used again. The product on the skin was tacky and sticky and thick. Terrible product.
