Great Stuff! Neutralizes odor causing bacteria really well, but why 1 oz of product, not 2 oz?
Tiny 1 oz jar - very cute, but we're talking sample/ travel size. Nonetheless, I was on a search to find a natural deodorant that would really work to eliminate order, not just add perfume to body odor, so I opened it to give it a try.I've come to love this stuff in 3 weeks. Applied by rubbing a pea-sized portion between the tips of the fingers to any areas which might get 'stanky'. It's easy to apply, rubs in clean, and smells pleasantly fresh.Kept me fresh every day now for 3 weeks, in high humidity, during summer.Which brings me to the next set of uses and a question... I think it's worth mentioning that the odor-neutralizing powers are amazing, not only for armpits but for areas on the body's surface that are prone to get sweaty and stay that way on a hot day. What Im talking about kids-- as we know from science class and lotsa commercials!--is those places where the "odor-causing bacteria" like to hang. I'm talking about the "All Sweaty, -All the Time" places, such as under breasts, between fat rolls, feet, etc. --Anyway, you get the picture.... This brought me to two questions:First question:Can I afford to continue to use this? Using 4 pea-sized drops a day, just enough to selectively rub into my personal 'sweaty bits', I figure will use up one jar in exactly one month's time.For me that makes Stank Stop a very expensive (and thus unsustainable) choice for a regular deodorant.Sad because this coulda been the place that I stopped looking and became a customer for life.My only complaint: too little product to be practical. C'mon, could you have sold these same ( not expensive) ingredients in a 2-ounce jar instead of a 1 oz jar for around 12-14 bucks? Other natural brands seem to be doing so. If you could too, I would become your willing slave and tell everyone I know to consider using this as their go-to rub for all of their sweaty stinky places, including armpits. To be clear: Im not slathering gobs of product all over my body surface; I'm taking pains to be applying it as directed in the amounts directed and I'm striving to be accurate on how much I am using the product for reasons that will become clear in a minute...) The next question:Is the extremely tiny jar with very little product a necessity born from the cost of making this product and turning a decent profit?Or is it more of a consequence of marketing ( edgy name, tiny product=perception of exclusivity, & 'branding cool'?)I'm asking that second question out of a love for the product, not to be snarky.And because my own experience with it tells me you could have many, many, satisfied customers who would return month after month, if only you gave them more product! If this jar could last 2 months as opposed to one month it would make it 50% more affordable to use over time. (More customers for longer. Make sense?) My experience with this a rub for those sweaty places leads me to think about a large possibly untapped potential market for this product. This could possibly become an odor and comfort control game-changer for athletic use (foot rub) as well for anyone who is suffering from a bacterial build-up in fleshy crevices between showers--particularly because of incapacity or restriction on (their) movements, such as people who are wheelchair-bound, in nursing homes, on bed rest, etc. hospitals, etc.

Stops odors!
This product works really well! I’ve tried other products (Lume and Native brands), but they gave me a rash. Thankfully, this hasn’t. I agree with others that the price per ounce is too steep, but at least it works. My only other complaint is the name of the product. It’s gross. While it is descriptive, you won’t find me leaving it out on my vanity for others to see.

More like Stank Starter
The first time I applied this after a shower, I had high hopes. The piney smell was nice and I didn’t mind applying it with my fingers. However after a few hours I stank ... BAD. And I never stink. Even after working out I don’t really get BO. This time I could see the stink lines emanating off my body. The next day, with the second application, I used it after a shower and decided to put on my usual deodorant (with which I’ve never had a problem) over the top of it, reasoning that the Stank Stop might give a good base pine smell and the regular deodorant would keep me from getting BO. Wrong. I smelled horrible within a few hours. I went back to my regular deodorant the following day, and I haven’t stunk since. Verdict: the Stank Stop deodorant actually creates stink on me.

Love it - except for quality control issues
I have used this product for more than a year and it works well for me, and I don't mind applying with my fingers. It's my go to natural deodorant. I'm in DC, so summers are sweltering and this keeps me fresh (not 100% dry but tolerable).I will say that the last jar I bought was a huge disappointment. There were hard lumps in it where the arrowroot had obviously caked up. I know some folks would put this in the microwave to heat it up and then poor it back into the jar and let it become solid again. For the price that's being charged, that's too much work. You're selling me a finished product, not one that I need to manipulate in order to be able to use.I will probably give it one more shot, but I'm taking a break from Fatco for now and have purchased another rub on natural deodorant from a different maker.Fatco - do some quality control. Love your product when it's useable.

Miracle Worker in a tube!
I had decided about 2 years ago that all natural products was worth any sacrifice of effectiveness or comfort tradition products had. This means I'm okay with using a toothpaste that doesn't taste minty fresh and shampoo that does leave my hair smelling like wild flowers. But when it came my pits I had made an exception.Let me explain: I'm a smelly person...yes I'll admit it. For a female I don't smell like roses and sunshine all day long. So I refused to give up my chemically ridden awesome deodorant because it worked and it really did mask my stench.Then I started to feel guilty that I had switched over a majority of my other products but was holding out on this. So I tried a few different all natural brands, each was more disappointing than the next. It either didn't work AT ALL, worked for about 30 mins, or make my pits break out in a bright red rash. So I gave up again.UNTIL NOW! this stuff is awesome in comparison to anything else I've tried. I can put in on in the morning and it usually takes about 6-7 hrs for me to even notice a hint of stank. It's also great on my sensitive skin. Although the directions said to avoid it on shave days if you're sensitive, I've used it every day even shave days without any problems. It goes on smooth which is great as other ones I've tried are a hard block that hurts to try to run on. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Won't go back ever!

Very small container
The product works very well. My only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the small size. It should be bigger to be a fair value.

Pure crap
I used it 2 times, just to give it a chance... since then, I can't even put deodorant anymore cause i have inflammation and my armpits are itching like hell. No I did not scratch or anything because I don't want to make it worst .. I spent the last too days with no deodorants ( and bad smells ) and they are still that red ! I took the picture today, the second day not wearing anything and the redness is still intense ...
