Hi, mine is the last post here under an old username. Good to know it’s available in Tesco too!

Thank you, I’ve just ordered 😊

I tried those but they were useless for me. I have had a Life Supplies deodorant the last few weeks, it’s amazing!! It actually works. They send you refills on a carton

I tried Wild but hated that it didn't stop me sweating... yeah smelled nice but what I want is no wet patches under my arms. And way too expensive when the last bits are stuck in the bottom.

Back to Mitcham or Dove for me!

I used to use Wild, I used it for about 9 months with no problem but then noticed that I started to smell weird. No idea if it was Wild causing the problem but it went away when I started using a different brand.

Skybluepinky · 02/05/2023 10:23

I’ve been using Wild for a few years, I started in the winter as it takes a while to get use to using it. When I first tried it irritated my skin, but the formulation has changed so it’s no longer an issue, they also do a sensitive range.

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).

Exactly the same here. I had the wild deodorant and found it stained my clothes, made me itchy. Switched back to the plain salt crystal one and told myself off for believing the marketing

SabbatWheel · 02/05/2023 10:32

I have been using Fussy since the start of lockdown and they really work. Just a normal deodorant stick , no rubbing in with hands. No white marks, no smelly pits, just lovely fresh scents.

You don’t have to buy on subscription, I just buy what I need (so I get 3 at a time and that lasts most of the year, one pod lasts me about 3 months). Would never go back to sprays or roll ons.

LightDrizzle · 02/05/2023 10:41

Fussy!
It’s brilliant, and I can be naturally smelly if nervous or after exercise.

My favourite scent so far is the Wide Eyed Citrus.

SirVixofVixHall · 02/05/2023 10:45

I found Wild made my clothes and my dd’s all smell horrible. It must be the oils in it. Stained silk shirts and left this unpleasant smell on everything else.
I have bought Fussy for Dd now but haven’t tried it yet. I use the Natural Deodorant Co stuff in a pot. I would prefer a stick but this works and doesn’t make all my clothes greasy and stinky !

@MadisonAvenue thank you!

I really like Wild - it’s just the messiness of it which is starting to annoy me a bit so this is a good price point to justify trying Fussy I guess.

i ordered the minty one and the citrus one 😍

MadisonAvenue · 07/05/2023 20:47

My Fussy order arrived yesterday, I chose Wavy Days and Night Tales and both are really lovely and it seems to work well too. It’s been warm today and we’ve been out and about walking around in 20° and I can still detect the scent.
It doesn’t seem as messy as Wild either.

Over40Overdating · 07/05/2023 20:55

I am a sweaty beast and usually use crystal rock but switched to Wild over the winter as I wanted a smell. So far it’s never let me down, even on my sweatiest days. I use the cotton one. They are very often in the Holland and Barrett sales either BOGOF or about £3.70.
I switched in January and am still only on my second stick so I reckon 3 months per stick?

@MadisonAvenue i got mine too and really like it! Agree it goes on cleaner and smells fabulous. So far I think I’m converted. It was warm here too today and no issues at all.

Just used your code, thank you. Looking forward to trying Fussy!

Thanks @ThatWhiteElephant - hope you like it. I’m now onto my second refill and am totally converted. The smell is amazing and it works well. 👍🏻

Tivadivaz · 03/06/2023 10:56

My husband and I have been using wild for a year or so.
really pleased with it, does what it is meant to, no irritation and no white marks for me
We take out the almost finished refills and apply them still in their paper case to get the end bits out, and no issues changing the refills either.

I use Wild currently and have found it okay, but I have been worried about being a bit smelly as I've had problems with that in the past.

Thank you for the discount link - I've used it too!

LilacSorbet · 03/06/2023 11:19

Wild was too squishy - it made a mess in the case.
Fussy is OK, but not amazing. Will plod on with it.

Neither live up to Native, which I'm still gutted stopped shipping to the UK. Native was perfect.

spidersenses · 05/06/2023 15:59

I've tried both but really like Fussy. I'm quite sweaty also! It works great. Never have any issues.

BooseysMom · 29/06/2023 15:15

I've been loving my Fussy deodorants until this happened...maybe something to do with being kept in the bathroom. I'm going to get on touch with them rather than leaving a shit review as I do like them and the scents and they work brilliantly

Do you have either a Wild or Fussy deodorant
SirVixofVixHall · 29/06/2023 15:23

I have Wild, and I am about to try Fussy as I bought one for my dd.
I didn’t like Wild at all. The texture, but mainly it made all my clothes smell horrible, sort of weirdly greasy. I can still smell it on some things several washes later.
The one I use mainly is the Natural Deodorant Co. Comes in a glass jar, so you have to wash your hands afterwards, but works really well for me.

BooseysMom · 16/07/2023 11:34

I have got my fussy refills now and they credited my account to take into account the ones that broke up. The dragonfruit scent is absolutely gorgeous! I just want to eat it!!

Justamblingalong · 17/01/2024 05:54

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread. But I’m struggling to find other people who have issues using fussy? The deodorant seems “dry” when you apply it so takes a few goes and by the end of the day I’m smelling sweaty. Am I doing something wrong? Should I continue and it gets better? For the price I really wanted to like it :-(

That's weird. Maybe it's a bad one! I've never had any issues like this, only once when I had some which kept breaking inside the case. Fussy promptly refunded me. Maybe let them know the issue and they'll refund you and investigate the problem. Good luck!
