Have always used other mineral sticks, like the feel of this one and it works for me.
Pity I had not known of this one sooner!

I think i might need little advice on how to use this deodorant as so far i haven't achieved too good results. the stick is hard and i don't want to press too hard, and even when i make it wet under the tap i am still not getting much of a result.

REPLY from Amanda: Crystal deodorant sticks do take a little getting used to. All you need to do is to wet the stick under the tap and apply - you do not have to rub hard, as the mineral will dissolve slightly in the water and rub onto your skin. You can usually feel a slight layer on the skin. Remember a deodorant is not the same as an anti-perspirant and will not block your sweat glands - you will still perspire but it will take away any unpleasant odour! They are not really designed for heavy sweating, for instance if you go to the gym, either, but a shower and re-application in this case is what I would recommend. (Posted on 5/13/12)

I'm skeptic and cynic, sure, but what kind of attitude do they expect from me while showing all those commercials on TV? Deodorants do not eliminate odor, they just add super-powerful smell of their own! The very idea of masking body sweat by overpowering chemical smell sounds awful to me.
So, when I was ordering 2 sticks of Alvin Connor Crystal Deodorant I thought "it's not spray, thanks God". Now I can't remember whether it was 2010 or 2009 when I placed the order, but I'm still using first of the two sticks (it's gradually going to finish, but still). No smell. Something so simple.

At last I have found a deodorant that actually works, and it's 'natural' too, so that's even better. I suffer from excess sweating, which obviously after a while can give a strong smell of BO if the deodorant doesn't work. I have tried many products, natural and off the shelves from the supermarket, and this one certainly does the job. I've tested it in France in temperatures of over 35 degrees. It's incredibly good value for money as it lasts for ages and ages. I'm certainly sticking to this one for the time being! (Posted on 7/7/11)

I cannot believe how good this deodorant is. My job is very stressful and I sweat (and smell) a lot and have had to resort to buying extra powerful deodorants that you wear overnight and wash off in the morning. They are, of course, loaded with toxic nasties but are very effective. So I was sceptical that this crystal deodorant could do the job as well, but it is absolutely brilliant. I've worn it two days running at work now and, despite the usual stressful situations, I do not smell at all. I am so pleased to be able to use something that works this well without horrible chemicals. Thank you! (Posted on 5/17/11)

This is an excellent product. I have tried at least 5 other brands. Alvin Connor leaves them standing. It's large rounded surface makes it easy to use. It feels firm and sturdy in the hand, which if you had tried other brands, you would know that after a short while, water gets beneath the base of the salt rock and it starts to wobble, and what's worse, trap water, which then dribbles down the arm. Not nice.
Back to Alvin Connor. this product works. I have not used a scented deodorant for five years. The Alvin Connor block keeps sweat at bay and gives me total confidence. I have bought at least 9 from this website, no, I haven't used that many in five years, as they each last at least a year, but I now give them away to girlfriends, knowing that my confidence in the product will lure them away from those carcinogenic spray deodorants. You cannot beat this site for speed of delivery, good pricing and more importantly, excellent customer service if you have queries or problems. (Posted on 12/18/10)

I have been using this for a few years now as it is the best I have tried since switching to a natural deodorant. Keeps you odour free and last for ages! (Posted on 9/26/10)

This product is fantastic! I could not believe how effective it is when I first put it on. There are lots of deodorants on the market and I tried most of them but none of them are as effective as this bodystick. Definitely recommend it and will be buying more. (Posted on 5/25/10)

If you have tried other Crystal Sticks, then you do not need to be told how effective they are, but you do need to know that the Alvin Connor one is the best. It has a large curved surface for a smooth action in the armpit, and it lasts and lasts and lasts. If you have never tried a Crystal stick, then start with the best. You can rely on their natural action to keep the bugs away that cause body odour. I was nervous when I first switched to this product, but have never looked back - or used other deodorants.
