1.0 out of 5 stars Help! My armpits are falling off!, July 13, 2010

This review is from: Tom's of Maine Deodorant, Aluminum-Free, Long Lasting, Wild Lavender, 2.25 oz. (Health and Beauty)

I've been using the unscented regular version of this deodorant and have been pleased with the results.

So, naturally I picked up a stick of the new long lasting lavender version expecting the same or better.

Just one day after using this deodorant, my armpit skin felt like it was on FIRE! The skin was red, raised and angry looking.

I did a Google search to see if anyone else had experienced this problem and behold there are hundreds of people in the same boat as me with burning and redness after using the new long lasting formula.

Fortunately for me, a few days of hydrocortisone cream and it went away. Other people

have described peeling skin and long term skin discoloration.

DON'T BUY THIS!

3.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons of Tom's, March 23, 2010

After reading the mixed reviews here, I was hesitant to try out "Tom's", but aluminum-free deodorants are hard to come by, so I bit the bullet and gave the Lavender Scented kind a try.

Pros:

* Surprisingly effective at curbing my perspiration. When I was using Clinical Formula aluminum antiperspirants, I was sweating much more than when I use Tom's.

* No white stains or discolorations on clothes.

* Pleasant consistency and smell. It reminds me a little of Old Spice.

Cons:

* About 10-15 minutes after applying, my under arms begin burning/tingling and the Tom's actually foams a little under my arms. It was really bad the first time I used it, but it gets less noticeable after each application. Now the burning/tingling lasts only 10 minutes and is non-existent for the rest of the day.

* The odor protection is limited. It usually last 8-12 hours and then my arm pits REALLY stink. I re-apply, though, and the odor goes away. I need to keep an extra deodorant stick at work for high-stress/high-activity days.

Over all, it's an OK product. In spite of the burning, I do like it more than the aluminum products I was using, and am pretty happy that my perspiration level is way down. If only it had more long-lasting odor protection!

4.0 out of 5 stars better than deodorant + antiperspirant, April 12, 2004

By 

erica h (bamberg, germany) - See all my reviews

This past winter I was suffering from major health problems and consequently, just about everything made me break out in a nasty rash, including my deodorant + antiperspirant. Not only that, but my old deodorant + antiperspirant wasn't working very well any more. I gave some easily available competitors to my old deodorant a try, and continued to have major skin problems and kept sweating like mad. A convenience store on my college campus had this product and I decided to give it a try.

Tom's is currently the only deodorant that I can use without skin problems. The aloe also feels nice and helps the stick glide better. Not only that, but I actually sweat significantly less with this deodorant than I do with deodorants that have added anti-perspirants. I have since recommended this deodorant to friends and they, too, have had the same results.

The reason why this deodorant only gets four stars instead of five is because it requires more frequent application than most deodorants. I know that if I am having a busy day I need to apply it in the morning and again late in the afternoon, which can be a pain but is actually worth the trouble.
