“I bought this two weeks ago, and instantly loved it. It works, all day, no itchy pits, no overwhelming port-a-john scent... it was like the holy grail of deodorants. Until. Until I pulled my favorite light green shirt out of the laundry, and holy mother of pit stains, it was RUINED! It had big gray stains in both pits after only a single wearing with this deodorant. My $7 deodorant had turned into”
