Con? Best thing ever?
can’t decide. Lots of good reviews in amazon

if it’s good which is your favourite scent?

I love it. One fragrance really irritates me but can’t remember which! The only thing I find annoying is how much is left over when you get to the end. Tried to keep using the little nub but it’s messy!

Yes, this is my one complaint too. They need to find a better way of packaging it so the last few mm isn’t wasted.

Been using Wild for a few years now. I had no issues when I started. Love it. I love being able to choose different scents when I get new ones especially the limited editions

WildFlowerBees · 18/04/2024 19:23

I tried both Wild and Fussy, hated fussy felt awful and made my armpits irritated. I've used Wild for almost 2 years I love it, no issues in the gym, in a heat wave etc. I love Thunderstorm scent.

Here's my thoughts :

The cartridge design doesn't allow you to use all the product so there is a frustrating amount of waste

The scents are lovely but if allowed to sit around for a while disappear

Unfortunately they did make my underarm itchy

I really wanted to love the products and maybe with a few tweaks they will redeem themselves

Lemonademoney · 18/04/2024 19:31

Used it for about a year now - I like the cotton one. It works well for me.

I made my own deodorant for a while and I used a (washed! 😂) magnum lolly stick to apply it. Might be a solution?

Bumble6 · 18/04/2024 19:37

I've been using Wild for at least a year and really like it. I have tried so many natural deodorants and this is the one I've liked most by far. If I'm doing very intense exercise I find sometimes it doesn't always work but I'm not sure any of them would.

movingonsaturday · 18/04/2024 19:39

Probably takes a week to get used to it because that's how long it takes to go nose blind to your own BO😂

DaxTornado · 18/04/2024 19:44

I tried it and didn't like it. You still sweat, and while it's not BO there is a stale smell (although my probably far too polite colleagues I appologised to said there wasn't). I think you'd need to wash twice a day if you were going to use it.

Andthereyougo · 18/04/2024 19:47

Don’t like the marks on my clothes. Marked every top.

Illbefinejustbloodyfine · 18/04/2024 19:51

I keep considering it but other "eco" deodorants have made my skin red sore and itchy. I think it's bicarb (or similar?) In the ingredients. Do they do a free trial?

CancelledCheque · 18/04/2024 19:53

I’m prejudiced against Wild, as I can’t get over how annoying their adverts are. There’s one that pops up all the time with the smuggest voice intoning nasally, “neutralises STANK-causing bacteria”. It just gives me the rage.

AlligatorActually · 18/04/2024 20:00

Wild is a deodorant so you sweat and it attempts to mask the smell.

I use a regular anti perspirant which limits the sweat in the first place rather than masking the smell.

recent I accidentally bought a deodorant and it felt horrible as I could feel myself sweating straight away! However that’s just my personal experience

FurnitureAddict · 18/04/2024 20:03

I've been using it for about three years now and love it. It works really well. I like the cotton and sea salt, or the jasmine one. The aloe and mint is also nice. Holland and Barrett often have the refills on offer. I bulk order during their bla k Friday deals as it ends up working out around £2 a refill when combining deals.

onlyconnect · 18/04/2024 20:06

I like it but agree with this from happyharpy78

"I liked the scents and it did work for me BUT I found it really messy when it came to the end of a refill as I couldn't 'roll' it on any more so had to use my fingers. Loved the idea but I couldn't do with the mess so moved back to a normal roll on."

I also don't find it easy to change and refill

Flopsy145 · 18/04/2024 20:10

For a few weeks, maybe 3/4 it took a while for my natural scent to settle, by the end of the day it was really bad. I had been using the sea salt one thinking it was the least scented, as soon as I then switched to the jasmine one the smell completely disappeared!

Also this, a lot of wastage if you're not prepared to scrape it out and put on the next one or put it on with your fingers

SoapCollector · 18/04/2024 20:14

I love it. Works better for me than dove or sure antiperspirant roll on. Wild is the best deodorant I've ever tried (I've tried loads and nearly gave up as some don't last or work well).

My armpits are no longer itchy 🙂 I've only tried the cotton and sea salt, I really like the smell - sort of a clean laundry fragrance.

Pigeonqueen · 18/04/2024 20:15

I think it’s awful. I like the smell but as it’s not anti perspirant I just sweat masses and feel very uncomfortable. Back to the Mitchum!

prescribingmum · 18/04/2024 20:26

I did like it but as PP have said, it got really messy as you got nearer the bottom and I found myself needing to use my fingers to apply it - in which case Natural Deodorant Company is much better. I tried Wild because I wanted a stick which was easy to apply.

I switched to natural deodorants only for over 3 years and tbh they just don't do the job on really hot days and when working out. Lots talk about adjustment etc - 3 years is plenty of time but I have gone back to good old Dove roll on for hot and exercise days and keep to my natural when cooler

CantBelieveNaive · 18/04/2024 20:34

Am trying fussy atm.
I was surprised at how large the container was (more man's size hand which adds to the list of products made for mens specifications!) and how small the refill was at £12 so it's a bit of a rip off really when you can get a deodorant for £1.50
Trying to save the planet costs a fortune as companies like this over charge so will go back to dove or Aldi specials after this.
I did try though ...

Blueuggboots · 18/04/2024 20:43

I've been using it since lockdown.
It's good, and like it BUT it does leave white marks on your clothes if you're not careful.
They change the scents often. I liked the pumpkin spice one. And my son liked the sherbet lemon one.
Currently sporting blood orange and basil I think....

Glowecestrescire · 18/04/2024 20:46

I feel like it clogs my pores, and just makes me smell, which I then struggle to feel clean, especially not being an antiperspirant.

I really want to switch to natural ones, but all I've tried so far haven't worked.

qwertyasdfgzxcv · 18/04/2024 20:48

It didn't work for me reliably

Sunriseatsix · 18/04/2024 20:48

I liked it but it marked my clothes.

Currently trying Akt - seems good so far.
