I have embarrassing body odor, and wondered if this would help cover the body odor, or do you need to apply an additional deodorant as well?

You apply this at night, so during the day you'd wear regular deodarent yes. It really works to help stop sweating, but it stings and irritates the skin, at least it does for me.

I have been using this product for years and you DON'T want to use regular deodorant while you are using it. But if you MUST, then you need to thoroughly clean & dry the application area before applying the Hydrosal. Regular deodorant keeps Hydrosal from being absorbed the way it needs to in order to be fully effective. Hydrosal actually STOPS your sweat glands from producing sweat, so I'm guessing that it will stop your embarrassing BO - I know that it did mine.

When I use it consistently I notice the odor isn't as bad. But yes, you still have to use an additional deodorant

It is more of an effective antiperspirant than a deodorant so I would say that using additional deodorant for odor would be best.

The deodorant itself has no scent. Before applying this product it is best to shower and/or thoroughly clean your underarm area. The scent people are stating is most likely from the soap they're using before applying this. I smell "like me." If I use a scented soap in the shower, I smell like the soap scent for as long as it lasts, but have no body odor. If I put perfume on, I only smell my perfume, and this does not interact with the fragrance. If you use an unscented soap you'll smell nothing. Note: As many reviewers stated, if you apply this to unclean underarms it will not work, your underarm area must be cleaned before application. The deodorant itself has no scent.

Yes, as long as you used the crystal deodorant first, to avoid getting scented deodorant on the crystal. You'd probably have twice the strength of the deodorant too.

Yes! I just want to make sure you do know that this deodorant is for night time use. Put it on at night, before you go to bed & preferably (not necessary) after you have showered or bathed at night time. That way, you are clean when you apply it. They do have a daytime version, but the daytime version is really just as a refresher & does not accomplish anything with regards to helping you to stop perspiring. If you apply this at night time, then you can apply whatever you want in the morning. I use my regular girly smelling deo in the morning. They work great together.

Mine did the opposite, it actually had an odor of it's own like REALLY REALLY REALLY bad body odor. Cleaning it as per the instructions did nothing to help, but leaving it on for a week seems to have eliminated the odor it was spreading throughout the house :S

Nelson, hello! I used to apply deodorant, as described in the instructions, in the evening after a nap, and then began to apply deodorant after a shower in the morning, though not immediately, but after 15-20 minutes.

no....deodorant just smells good....does NOT stop you from sweating as an antiperispant would

I would not recommend it as a deodorant because it is not designed for that purpose. It is a mild smelling product that does help you keep dry - for example I have used it during humid weather - and it makes you feel fresh and comfortable - takes away that "sticky" feeling. I do not think it would have any lasting effect as an underarm deodorant however I have used it underarm as a drying agent after showering and towelling off.

I use a small panty-liner pad in it. You may as well. I have only occasionally had an odor. When I do, I use white vinegar on it to kill any residual orders. Hope this helps in some way.....

That I don't know. This deodorant didn't work at all for me, so I didn't even get that far. Sorry.

It should help diminish the odor as long as there are no other openings air can enter. If it is a serious problem, in addition, you may wish to purchase an air filter. Costco and Amazon have some good ones.

I see a lot of mixed reactions. For me this is the only non toxic that's worked for me all day so far. You really have to try all deodorants to see which ones work for you personally. Every body is different.

Yes you need to apply it at night and do your usual routine in the morning shower and if you want you can apply your regular deodorant

I have for years w/no problems. This product has replaced my foot deo, feminine deo, under arm deo ( although I usually use the roll on version for this but have used the spray) and any other areas that trap sweat resulting in odor. Hope this helps :)

I would think it doubtful as using a regular deodorant will clog your pores. Why would you want a scent anyway? Just use some perfume or cologne.

It doesn't stop sweating, which I would think is a good thing..... It really helps with odor if you use the product as is instructed. I apply the product once a week after a shower, just before bedtime and the day after I shave. I have applied an extra amount if needed, but only very rarely. Of course, daily showers are important in odor control.

So these other products didn't work? I can't speak to using them after using something else, but if the smell/issue is still there, this product still might dissolve whatever is left...our issue was severe and we had to do several applications both on top and in our sofa cushion, but it did save our couch and there is no smell.
