Price was great and product was shipped quickly. I've been using these crystals for years and they last forever and work better than the usual chemical products.

Let me start by saying that under normal circumstances I wouldn't be discussing my body odor, but to explain, I find it appropriate.
For a female, I think I have fairly strong body odor. I used to use Secret Platinum (which is supposedly very strong) and it worked most of the time. The times that it didn't (hot days, days that I was moderately active, and strangly enough whenever I would wear a tank top or sleeveless shirt, regardless of activity or weather), I had a horrible combination smell of the powder scent (from the Secret) and my own body odor. It would gross my husband out.
So then I switched to Mitchum for men (unscented - my husband used). Of all the brands in the aisle, it had the highest level of active ingredient. This worked (again except when I wore a tank top - strange, I know!). My problem with this, was that first of all the levels of aluminum were very high. Secondly, it was sticky.
So I decided to try the Crystal brand of salt deodorant French Transit - Crystal Stick Body Deodorant, 4.25 oz sticks. I started with just the solid salt stick, without the spray. To my surprise, it worked. I had to get used to the idea, that I was going to sweat still, but when I did, it didn't smell. I also had to master the technique. When applying under your arms, you have to go about an inch higher, lower, all around further than you would regular deodorant and you had to apply it liberally. There were times, that I did still notice a smell, but compared to the smell I had with the Secret and b.o. together, this was nothing. It took a couple of days to tweak it to my body and find the places I really needed to use it more. What's great, is that once it is dry, it doesn't feel like you have applied anything on. Plus it doesn't stain your clothes.
After doing this for a couple of weeks, I decided to try the spray Crystal Body 30093 Crystal Spray Body Deodorant, 4-Ounce Spray Bottles in 3-Count Packages (Pack of 2). This improved my overall b.o. problem tremendously. Now, after I dry myself off after a shower, I spray the spray on my pits, and other areas of my body. I then squirt a small amount on the salt stick and apply again to my underarms and any other areas of major concern. With this combination, I am able to double the salt concentrations. This has worked tremendously. I just wore a tank top the other day to our city fair. I was in the hot sun for two hours, walking around, riding rides, playing with my son and had no odor problems.
I find the key to using these products, is to use them together and liberally. My husband now uses both products as well. We have had the salt stick and the six pack of spray for a few months now. We are about a third away through the salt stick (with both of us using it) and we have used about one and half bottles of spray, so it seems to be lasting us good long while. In the long run, I imagine it will be the same cost or cheaper than using the old deodorants.
I suggest giving it a try. It can't hurt, but it could help!

I cannot believe how well this stuff works! I've tried so many brands of deodorant, and they wear out, leave marks on my clothes, and leave my armpits feeling gunky. Yuck. I'm volunteering right now as a canvasser for an environmental group, and even at night, coming home after 8 hours of walking around in 80 degree heat and humidity, I still don't smell a thing! Even after having read all the reviews, I didn't think it would work this well. I'm sold!

I have been using the Crystal Stick for about a month, and I am delighted!! I am allergic to many ingredients in conventional deodorants, and haven't been able to find anything that is remotely effective - until now!!! The Crystal Stick is flat-out THE BEST I've EVER used. EVER. It out-performs any of the conventional deodorants, and LAUGHS at the stuff I've been getting at the health food store! When I first began using it, I noticed that I still experienced quite a bit of wetness, but NO odor. As I continued my usage, even the wetness has begun to lessen, and that's a pleasant unexpected surprise! Even with perspiration, though, there is NO odor - the stick "magically" prevents the stinky bacteria from producing stink! This product is a fantastically good bargain, also, even though the initial cost is a bit more than the "other" stuff. After a month of use, the stick still looks brand new, too, and that's even with generous use each day. I wet it generously, then liberally coat each underarm area, rewetting if necessary - if it "sticks" to my skin when applying, I rewet it. I have absolutely NO itching, swelling, or hives like I get from conventional, chemically laden products. I am DELIGHTED, and will NEVER buy another deodorant stick - my search for a product that works is OVER!! This is THE ONE!!

I used this stuff as directed, including washing first, but I smell just as bad as ever within a couple of hours. I'm glad everyone else in these reviews had such good luck with the product, but it doesn't work for me.
By the way, the plastic cap is very thin and it cracked in the mail, with the result that it won't screw on. I taped it together with monofilament tape, which also didn't work. But that doesn't matter. I'm just going to throw the whole thing out.
Just saying.
