I to decided to purchase this more costly product because of the the
non-residue qualities and my prior experience with Mitchum products. The
effectiveness of the product is wonderful, but every single unit I have
purchased has cracked off on the top. I have tried using less pressure,
not raising the deodorant too high, using different application strokes,
but nothing makes a difference.
Unfortunately, I have purchased several units hoping it was user error
or old stock, but all have broken off. My last purchase finally "broke
the camels back" when 1/4 of the stick broke off on my first
application!!
I have thrown out the equivalent of four units over the last couple
years. There is no way to salvage the product once it breaks. It then
begins to crumble and makes a mess.
Dove has a new deodorant that has similar qualities and I recently got a
free sample in the mail. It looks like this will be a cheaper
alternative to Lady Mitchum Cool Dry.
