How and where do I apply Lume Deodorant?Updated 6 months ago
Our Aluminum Free Whole Body Deodorants can be used anywhere externally you might have odor and wish you didn't! We've tested our whole body deodorants on underarms, private parts, feet, under breasts, belly buttons & tummy folds -- you name it. Below are application directions for some of our most odor-prone areas, but feel free to experiment with where you want Lume Deodorant to control odor on your body!
If you're interested in controlling odor and sweat, look no further than our new Whole Body Cream Deodorant Plus Sweat Control & Solid Deodorant Plus Sweat Control! They are clinically proven to control sweat and odor for 72 hours 🎉
Applying to Underarms
Underarms are, of course, a very common place to apply Lume Whole Body Deodorant! For best results with all of our formulas, apply to clean, dry skin.
Cream Formulas:
Make sure you're applying a pea-sized amount - just rub it in like a lotion with clean fingertips! If that doesn’t seem quite right for your body, try just a tad more and see if that’s the sweet spot for you.
Solid Stick Formulas:
Glide 2-3 swipes across the skin, making sure to apply to the entire underarm area & not just the center.
Spray Formula:
Shake the can first! Apply 6 inches away from the skin, spray for 3-5 seconds and let it dry. It can take about 3 minutes to fully dry.
Applying to Private Parts
You can use either formula of Lume Deodorant to control BO anywhere externally, including private parts, however, it should never be used internally.
Cream Deo Formulas (Sweat Control & Aluminum Free):
For private parts, you'll want to use a pea-sized amount or less and rub it into the skin like a lotion. You may only need to apply a few times a week to private parts, even with regular showers, however, you'll want to experiment and find a routine that's perfect for you!
Aluminum Free Solid Stick:
Our Solid Sticks are formulated with underarms in mind, however, we’ve tested these products on pits, privates, and feet just like our other deo products 😉 we hope you find the routine that works best for you! If you plan to use it on private parts, we recommend swiping a bit of product off the top and applying with clean fingertips. Most customers prefer having both the Solid Stick and the Cream formulas to choose from day to day.
Vulva Application - Working front-to-back (never work back-to-front due to increased risk for urinary tract infections), apply to the clitoral hood & labia majora (not inside the vagina or around the urethra), continue back further to the perineum (the space between the rectum and vaginal opening), and sweep up between the butt cheeks to the tailbone.
Spray Formula:
Our Spray Deodorant can be used anywhere on the external body as our can was designed for 360° whole body application! Spray about 6 inches away from the skin for 3-5 seconds. Use care if spraying near private parts so as not to not get product inside the vagina or urethra.
Applying to Feet
Our Whole Body Cream Deodorants and our Spray Deodorants are our best candidates for foot application (but ultimately - solid, cream, spray - it's up to you!) If you're using the cream, we recommend concentrating a pea-sized amount around your toes and heel. If you want to apply to the whole foot, we would recommend using 2 peas!
