I bought a wild one but I found it quite irritating on my skin. I've gone back to using my Pitrok crystal which works brilliantly for me (and lasts for years).

I have wild - love the cotton and sea salt one BUT I have to use the sensitive range as its without bicarbonate in it, the normal range made me itch like nothing else!

I have some Wild sample size that I got on some kind of pay for postage only offer. I find them good, effective and pleasant-smelling (the coconut one and the cotton (?) are nicer than the floral one). They don't irritate my skin at all, but I don't have sensitive skin usually.

I did use wild for a short time but I couldn’t get to grips with changing the refills. I must have been doing it wrong but I couldn’t find simple step-by-step instructions on their website. The refill just kept falling out or got stuck inside the lid when I opened it.

They’re quite expensive and look really well made… but to me it just didn’t work well enough.

I'm using coconut and vanilla Wild at the moment and like the smell. You can get small trial ones from their site if you want to try a few. I like the jasmine too and DD has the fresh cotton one, also nice.

However, I usually make my own and keep in a jar in the bathroom and a small tin for my gym bag. It's super easy and cheap, you can get ingredients in bulk from Amazon etc, lasts ages and you can add whatever essential oils you like for smell. It's pretty similar recipe to all the natural ones you can buy. https://www.sixfiguresunder.com/homemade-deodorant-natural-aluminum-free/

I only got Wild this time as was having surgery and was easier not to have to wash my hands after applying deodorant. I scoop a little on my finger and rub under my arms. I'll go back when my Wild has run out. Although might try and refil the Wild with my own.

Thank you so much for all these helpful replies.

I don’t want to start fanning about rubbing it into my skin at the same time as I’m rubbing in estrogel to my thighs so that rules out fussy I think.

To be honest I like the aerosol that I’m aware that it’s shit

I make my own as well... I buy little roll on containers. I altered the recipe a bit to make it more solid and it works really well

I tried Wild for a month or so.
At first I was aware that I could smell sweat, not overpowering but I could notice it, and apparently Wild say that some people have a transition period of up to two weeks while their body gets used to using Wild. The scent wasn’t very strong either, I tried the Orange and Neroli one, I love citrus smells so this was disappointing.

Even after that had sorted itself out I just thought it was overpriced for what it is and I’ve gone back to my usual.

I just could not...the point of using a deodorant is not to smell sweat.
it's a no for me

I use Wild, works fine for me, although my DD didn't find it was strong enough for her (she is above averagely sweaty).

I tried Wild when my usual was out of stock. Was conscious I smelled (gave it more than a couple of weeks then gave up).

Wild also made me itchy and have a rash along the inside of my arms.

It's a shame because I loved the scents and it worked effectively for me.

Wild is a sloppy mess imho. Going straight back to Megababe when its finished. Silly name I know but its the best natural one I have tried and lasts for AGES so worth the price.

I've tried Wild, it was fine. Interesting to see that others found it itchy - I did as well but as it was a subtle thing I really thought it might be in my head.

I got the 3 free minis offer where you just pay postage. I still get ads for it all the time OP so if you want to try it then Google the offer and I expect it'll come up. You have to pay £2.99 postage but that's it and they send 3 different scents in a tiny travelsized stick.

I am using Wild at the moment, the only issues I have had were getting the refill in (easily solved by following the video on their website) and it is a bit soft so smears over the edges of the container when in use. Not sure what fragrance I've got. No irritation, no sweaty smells, but I had been using another natural deodorant for a couple of years so had probably already adjusted.

I really like this one and may go back to it when I've used up my stock of Wild refills. Sustainable Natural Deodorant | Earth Conscious

Fussy isn't rubbed into the skin. The refills are placed in a dispenser and applied like a normal deodorant. I use Fussy - it's very good.

I've been using Fussy for several months, and it's brilliant.

I bought the case and 4 refills last August which cost £32, I still have one and a half left, they really do last for ages.

I am active and go to the gym regularly, but I don't sweat any more than I used to, although they make it clear it's only meant to be a deodorant.

I would thoroughly recommend it and I've just bought some for DH as an extra birthday present.

I've never had sensitive skin or reacted to anything else but Wild made me really itchy, I was so disappointed as I loved the idea of it. It's put me off trying any of the others but perhaps I should give them a go as I'd love something more natural.

I really like the idea of Wild and the scents are fab, but it is too soft and ends up a complete mess.

i use wild and have for well over a year now. i like it - have only had the sea salt - and have a leopard print case which i like very much.

i find it deals with my sweat well - i am sweaty - and i have not found it irritating on skin

i haven't tried the other one but wild gets thumbs up from me

I have a nuud, a wild and a fussy! I like nuud but a bit expensive. I really like the fussy sage and mint one but have the grapefruit one to try next. I love suffered all my life with spots under my arms after shaving after using all these natural deodorants it’s cleared up. I don’t particularly like the wild one much.

We have Fussy. You have to pay £16 every 3 months and you get 3 refills, and I think that's regardiess of whether you want any more refills or not. The scents are a bit hit and miss but on the whole I do like them. They work brilliantly. I started with one dispenser but DH wanted to join the Fussy tribe so we got one for him and share refills..not literally! We choose different scents each time. It's more expensive than what we used to get but think of the plastic we've not chucked away. We will probably stay with them if we can afford to.
