SPOILER ALERT 60% air!

Brand new…. I didn’t expect my deodorant to have more air than a bag of chips… won’t be getting this again.

Why would you possibly even want a deodorant subscription?

u/Skydiver860 Sep 12 '26

Well to be fair I didn’t read enough into it to realize I was getting a subscription so it’s partially my fault. But still ridiculous that they sent the next shipment two weeks after I got my first.

Maybe they were hoping you’d share it with friends who would subscribe after getting a free sample

nah i wouldn't recommend them to anyone at those prices. it's decent deodorant but not $23 a stick decent

That is wild. No deodorant is $23 a stick deodorant. Damn. You can make the same product for less than a dollar...

that's still insanely expensive for a stick of deodorant

No they just hit the purchase button before reviewing the shipping frequency

Which is what I admitted I did. Doesn’t mean it still isn’t an asshole way to run business.

Based on some other comments, you're not the only person duped into buying excessive amounts of deodorant. This company sounds scammy

I have one, because the one I get is a good product that doesn’t aggravate my autoimmune skin condition, and this way I don’t suddenly discover that my last stick has run out and I don’t have any refills left. Plus they send me email alerts when my next shipment is coming up and it’s easy to pause if I don’t need it yet. Other brands may not be as good, and other people may not like/need a subscription model, it’s all very personal.

i didn't get to pause anything. they sent me an email when they shipped my second order and charged me for it. i got no warning to pause it.

Yeah that’s a predatory business model for sure
