extreme small size makes application difficult resulting in irritation [SEP] i knew these would be small but wow these are small i don t know if it is because the top of the product that you apply to your underarms has such a tiny surface area is so dry and flaky or i am allergic to it but after applying it my underarms are extremely sore they are still uncomfortable red and rashy looking the next morning i have found very very few things in my life that i have ever been allergic to so am inclined to think it is the difficulty in application that is causing the problem i know there are no antiperspirant properties with this so am definitely still perspiring quite a bit with it which i really hate as for deodorant properties they seem minimal i am early in the process of switching over from a lifetime of anti perspirants and so far not so good i don t think i care for this one i did buy another brand stick in the full size called spinster sisters which contains baking soda and that one seems to work better for me i bought this product for travel since the other was not offered in a small size
