Switching to Natural Deodorant: Your First 14 Days

So you're breaking up with aluminium. Great call — but like any breakup, the first couple of weeks can be a little emotional. Here's exactly what to expect.

Days 1–3: The honeymoon

You swipe on Pitt Stop, it smells amazing (green tea + vetiver, you're welcome), everything feels fresh. Easy.

Days 4–10: The adjustment

If you've been using an aluminium antiperspirant for years, your pores have been plugged. As they get back to normal, some people notice a bit more sweat than usual — that's not the natural deodorant failing, it's your body recalibrating.

Push through. Reapply midday if you want to — Pitt Stop is built for on-the-go top-ups, no shower required.

Days 11–14: The new normal

Your body finds its balance, odour stays neutralised, and you genuinely stop thinking about it. That's the whole point.

Tips for a smooth switch

• Apply to clean, dry skin — post-shower is prime time.
• 2–3 swipes is plenty. More isn't fresher.
• Give it 30 seconds to settle before dressing.
• Patch test first if you have sensitive skin — inner wrist, 5–10 minutes.

Fresh, without the force-field. Your pits will thank you.
