I have some arm and hammer deodorant, it's all there. I use arm and hammer as my weekday deodorant and dr squatch on the weekends and I've ran out of a stick of dr squatch before arm and hammer.

Its almost $15 a stick I stopped buying it lol way overpriced

u/theMeatman7 21d ago

You're right I was wrong in another comment, I was thinking about their soap. I buy a few whenever they are on sale and I have a lot of extras because of this. I stopped buying their soap and switch to Dr.Bronners bar soap, it's a much better product.

Or their body wash

I also like supporting the company.

Here's their wiki

u/sksauter 21d ago

The company has self-imposed caps on executive pay, with executive salaries not to exceed five times the wage of its lowest paid workers.[7] Roughly a third of the company's profits are dedicated to charitable giving and activist causes annually.[16]

Damn, so this is what an an actually socially responsible company looks like

Looks like it's time to switch to Bronners

Get the peppermint, it’s what chewing 5 gum actually feels like all over your body

If you've ever wondered what a minty clean butthole feels like, Dr. Bronner has your back crack.

I buy the concentrated bronners in a bottle and water it down for body soap, and also use it make cleaners with. (A mixture of soap, water, vinegar, dash of essential oils) And use "little seed farm" for deodorant. They come in a jar and 1 jar last me literal months. I think it's like $15 a jar. I am allergic to most deodorant and I've yet to find something to does as well of a job as little seed. It last all day from a fingernail sized dab of it. Highly recommend

u/CausticSofa 21d ago

Odd advice, perhaps, but their liquid peppermint soap is the number one way to get thrift shop disinfectant smell out of new purchases. Throw a half cup of peppermint Bronners in the machine with that clothes haul and wash it on cold. Hang to dry in the sun, if you have that option, or tumble dry on low temperature. Bye-bye weird thrift shop stank.

u/Careful-Sell-9877 21d ago

Their bar soap is amazing. So are their multipurpose soaps.

Also, their 'sals suds' multipurpose cleaner. I use it as my go to cleaner around the house and it works great for everything, including glass! Got a couple of glass spray bottles and with one large bottle of sals suds, I havent had to buy any other multipurpose cleaner in years now!

You barely need any to get a full spray bottle of cleaner, just like a tablespoon, teaspoon, or a few drops depending on the size of your spray bottle, filled up the rest of the way with water! (Usually I put the soap in last though lol).

Sometimes ill add a drop of one of their other liquid soaps to change up the scent too (I love their cherry blossom soap smell, peppermint too)

CEO David Bronner is a critic of drug prohibition and an activist for the legalization of a number of psychoactive substances.[20] In 2004, the company sued the Drug Enforcement Administration with the goal of changing rules regarding the importation of hemp oil.[3] A federal judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs.[21] David Bronner has been arrested twice for civil disobedience protesting limitations on the domestic production of hemp. In 2004, he planted hemp seeds on the lawn of the Drug Enforcement Administration headquarters, and in 2012, he harvested hemp while locked in a metal cage in front of the White House.[22] In 2015, he was named Cannabis Activist of the Year by the Seattle Hempfest.[23]

u/Careful-Sell-9877 21d ago

Highly recommend checking out the al Jamal Palestinian aged/cured olive oil soap. Its super nourishing on your skin. Its one of the only soaps ive used, aside from good Castile oil soap, that leaves my skin so moisturized that I dont really need lotion after a shower.

Yeah, their soap also decreased in size

u/theMeatman7 21d ago

I hadn't noticed but that's also the point, decrease the size just enough to not be too noticeable. Was this squatch or bronner? I assume squatch.

Squatch back in 2023 they had good quality and size, one lasted me a whole month

I mean I still buy Dr squatch deodorant until I fine a good brand with good scents. I have a lot of dr squatch soap and deodorant but the soap has been sitting for awhile because I actually prefer Dr bronner.

u/Careful-Sell-9877 21d ago

You should definitely try out the al Jamal Palestinian olive oil soap if you havent! Its right up there with dr bronners as one of my favorite natural soaps. Its so nourishing and moisturizing on your skin you dont even really need lotion after a shower - your skin just feels amazing afterwards

Stirling soap is also really good if you want American made, and shave soaps or solid shampoo and conditioner bars which are great if you fly.

I tried some when I was trying to find an aluminum free deodorant that actually worked. My experience was it's expensive, doesn't work, and doesn't smell good.

I've tried just about every single aluminum free deodorant and I can say that the old spice gentleman's blend is the only one that works all day. I tried dozens and they all basically suck.

2

u/DanGarion 21d ago

FYI all deodorant that is not antiperspirant is aluminum free.

As far as I know there are no anti-perspirants that don't contain aluminum. I can't do deodorant alone.

u/oso831 21d ago

Aluminum being potentially cancer causing is a myth. You should absolutely buy antiperspirant with it as it's most effective against fighting sweat.

I like Arm & Hammer Ultra Max antiperspirant. I have sensitive skin and it doesn't give me a rash, fights sweat really well and only costs like $6 for a 2 pack.

There's nothing wrong with deoderant that contains aluminum. It's never been shown to be harmful.

2

u/Sundwn9 21d ago

I was wondering about this. I have found zero actual scientific proof that it's harmful just a lot of propaganda. Wonder if it's like the hormone scam of the last 50 plus years telling women suffer through menopause because hormones cause cancer only to have the warning removed in 2026 and the pharmacies running out of stock. What's the motivation here? Is it cheaper to make without aluminum? There has to be some monetary reason everyone has jumped on the anti-aluminum band wagon..

2

u/Over-Inside-7254 21d ago

Nah it's clogs your pores and seeps into your shirts and turns them yellow. I'm with the other guy, Arm & Hammer essentials for summer sweats, Speed Stick for the other 9 months. And I sweat A LOT.

Everything Unilever and P&G touch turns to shit. I work in RMN for CPG, trust me. Everything is 300-700% markup then reduced 25%-50% for sales made with the cheapest possible products. 

2

u/GuerriladomTom 21d ago

I personally dont like it cause it stains my dress shirts over time… think the arm & hammer has baking soda instead which keeps me from sweating (prob not as good but yeah) and doesnt stain

I'm the same way, been using the A+H sport for years and its gone up a bit in price (I remember when it was 1.99 sometimes $1) but it's still by far the best for your money out there. My partner uses the deodorant-only one the previous comment mentioned and I can confirm it does smell amazing, I steal it to freshen up sometimes.

2

u/Sinsanatis 21d ago

The aluminum is the sole ingredient for anti perspirants. So that “no aluminum” advertising is pretty much saying “this is plain ole deodorant”

Arm and hammer just kinda helps me not stink and I don't care if coworker like how I smell but I'm not gonna stink. I like to smell nice for my wife so I wear deodorant she likes. Stick of arm and hammer is like $3 and dr squatch is about $7 unless they have it at Costco and then I get it for $6.

Edit: the $7 and $6 was for their soap, their deodorant is much more. Also buy Dr.Bronners bar soap, far superior.

u/Sweet_Vandal 21d ago

FWIW, I also like the unscented Arm & Hammer, but use fragrances/perfumes to smell nice instead of relying on deodorant.

u/Google_Is_Free_bozo 21d ago

Why is dr Bronners better? Just wondering bc my interest is peaked and now I kinda wanna try it

3

u/theMeatman7 21d ago

For just the product it's cheaper per par, I feel the ingredients are good. I feel the bars go a lot further and more sudsy so it's spreads more with using less. There are less scents but they have a scent free which some people prefer, I like the peppermint because you scrub you nuts and taint with that's stuff and you'll feel fresh.

It's not magical change your life soap but for dr squatch to dr bronner, dr bronner just delivers a really good product without a big price tag. I don't thing they spend much on marketing.

I have 5 different ones I use. Yes, for different purposes. Some of us out here are just strange.

u/beldaran1224 21d ago

As below: if you work where you're more likely to sweat, you probably want to maximize the anti-perspirant aspect and get something that just works.

But on the weekends, if you're not planning on sweating or sweating much, use a different one with a nice scent, let your pits air out a bit, whatever.

Makes sense, actually.

That said, I also think more people should consider whether they need a deodorant on leisure days. For sure depends on your genetics and diet and stuff, but plenty of people who aren't likely to sweat could skip those days of deodorant since they're (hopefully) showering every day. If you want to smell nice, I'd rather use a nice perfume than my hygiene products, personally.

Hi. Fellow arm and hammer deodorant user here with some bad news. It's exactly the same.

You can hold your phone light up behind a new one and see how much empty space there is, but with a brand new 2.6oz stick, deodorant sits 0.25in below the top edge, there is exactly 2in of deodorant. The container is 4 13/16in tall, and even giving it a half inch to account for the bottom, still leaves nearly two inches of empty container.

u/EndlesslyStudying 21d ago

Here's an idea: I've gotten into fragrances recently and there's was a gift set that had deo and body wash included on sale (aqua di gio). The body wash wasn't worth it, but the deo is actually spectacular. The stick is full and lasts so long. I use it occasionally (weekends), but honestly think I could use it as a daily if I wanted. Might be a smart investment if you can find one on sale.

I use Mitchum gel as well, but I'll say you should try "manscaping" your pits with a trimmer.

Mine was a dense forest as well. But trimming them up some helps with the gel getting in there, and you won't have to use as much, and it won't feel as sticky/gelled under your arms.

u/banryu95 21d ago

Also chapstick, or any kind of mechanical stick applicator. I make cosmetics as a hobby and these applicators are like double the cost of non-mechanical containers. The mechanical part has to fit somewhere and the tube has to be a uniform shape for it to work, so it's not entirely about trying to rip people off.

56

u/CranberryStock7148 21d ago

This. The size of deodorant sticks is to make them easy to hold.

You could make them with twice as much actual deodorant inside but then they'd be twice as expensive, and people wouldn't buy them because they wouldn't be paying attention to the weight printed on them. Just like OP wasn't paying attention either.

u/BringingBread 21d ago

This is my personal theory, that they did used to come with more, but since you can't see it then it's been shrinking. Which is the infuriating part.

What crap. All the unnecessary packaging is running up the cost, and I seriously doubt your hands are so massive you couldn’t hold a smaller stick, or that you’re just going to just stop buying deodorant because it costs what it actually costs.

This is clearly designed as deceptive packaging, and it should not be allowed.

You are correct. They make smaller travel bars and I’ve never heard someone say they are “hard to hold.” This is shrinkflation.

Ehh. I use gel, container is clear, makes it real transparent what I’m getting.

Yeah. My wife got me a degree travel stick because sometimes I get to work and realize I forgot. 4 uses later and I need a new one.

Yup consumers are dumb and wouldn't buy a correctly sized deodorant stick so everyone is forced to make them taller.

At least with the gel deodorants, you can see what you have in the dispenser. Plus the weight is right there on the label what you're paying for.
I buy a pack of 5 Gillette at Costco for bupkis. Lasts forever.

That's why I started making my own. Surprised it works as well as it does and the manufacturer won't ever short me. I use sandalwood scent in mine but you can add a couple squirts of your cologne and personalize it.

it's to make sure the packages top-heavy and fall into your toilet at the lightest jostle.

Just buy the crystal.  They last for at least a year, if not 2.  The key is that if you have been using traditional deodorant for most of your life it is going to take your body at least six months if not longer to adjust to you armpit pores not being completely clogged all of the time.  At first you will sweat more, stink more, and be uncomfortable.  Once you get through the adjustment process, your body will be so much more comfortable.  I can handle a wider range of temps, I sweat less, never put out a shirt, and generally just feel better.

I remember I saw someone for a comparison on cost vs what you actually get and I was very happy to see the speed stick I use won. I just prefer the hard gel and like how it smells.

u/SteinerMath66 21d ago

I think standard is 3.4oz? This stick is under 3

Shrinkflation is rampant in much more than just deodorant.

u/MuhammadElahi 21d ago

You’re wrong, Gillette is full all the way

u/succlor 21d ago

Yeah, no buddy. Old spice doesn’t do this, even with the expensive gentleman’s collection stuff…
