In real time, this trial concluded over a month ago. As of day
8, my pits were back to normal. I continued using lemons for some time after the trial.
However, my pits seemed to get irritated about once a week, and I would be
unable to apply lemons because it would sting far more than I was comfortable
with. For about 2 weeks I went back to the ‘trusted’ Mitchum deodorant searching for another natural alternative, until a
friend sent me a link to Primal Pit Paste. I read their site and independent reviews, and ordered the unscented stick. I have used this ever since (2 weeks). No smell, no irritation, and all attributed to the
all natural, organic ingredients they use.
My conclusion on lemons as deodorant:
Lemons are a very effective, safe deodorant, but not to be used long term. I would say if you go to a remote vacation destination and forget your deodorant, or find
yourself in some other sort of deodorant pinch, you can swing by a market and use a lemon for a short period of time safely and
effectively. Anything beyond that, I think most people will find the same
irritation I did. So as a deodorant, lemons are a back-up, and should not make
it into your starting rotation.
