Those tiny Malin + Goetz deodorants you get in GWPs and advents

[LemonJuiceFromConcentrate]

I actually like the full-size version but I’m perplexed that these minis are even made, let alone sold for 12 (12!) pounds. They’re very cute but almost comically difficult to use.

I have accumulated a few so am trying to use them up and it’s like colouring in my armpit with a toddler’s chunky crayon.

Does anyone actually buy them? Is it just that I have crap manual dexterity?

See also the tiny Mitchum sprays which are impossible ( or perhaps I lack the necessary finger force) to hold away from your body and apply enough pressure to actually spray.

I find the tiny GWPs cute but not easy to use, and wasteful. If they are in tubes, most of the product seems to be left in it. If it's a jar, they're often too small to dip a finger in.
I cut the tubes open, and use a spatula, but that seems a faff,

Aesop do a pump spray one which is small but very nice. It does smell like their Marrakesh Intense perfume though, which I imagine is a bit full on for some people.

I really like them. I use then a lot when I'm travelling. I'm not sure why you find them difficult??

Because they’re fiddly!

The surface area is so little that it takes about twenty swipes to properly cover the whole surface area of one underarm. And I’m never really sure I haven’t missed a bit.

It’s not impossible and I don’t mind enough to not use them up when they’re free. But it seems remarkable to me that anyone would shell out twelve quid for them.

I love them for travelling.
