How is this different from the Crystal deodorant stick for men?

Foodie1 is right they are different alums the pink it Ammonium A and the men's is Potassium A.

It looks like the other bottle has Potassium Alum - KAl(SO4)2, while this "pink" stick has Ammonium Alum - (NH4)Al(SO4)2. From what I've read ammonium alum stings more and is more harsh, but I haven't tried it.

The stick for men, the bottle is a different color, it is cheaper than the "pink" bottle, and it states "Unscented" on the bottle. The "pink" bottle does not state "unscented" right up front, but it is unscented. Bottom line: there is no difference except in price and color of the bottle.....

I have not tried the men's since I can not find them in stores, I think the only difference is the packing.

When you read the ingredients you can see that the pink one is made from ammonium alum and the men's is made of potassium alum. Now I do not know if that make a difference in males and females, any experts out there? Thanks!

I can't remember as I bought it a while ago, but it is by far the best most effective deodorant ever... That's why when I couldn't find it in stores anymore I bought it on line

Both are good. The lotion is easier to put on in a hurry, but the body butter is so luxurious. It's perfect for when you want to lather on something thick and healing after a shave or exfoliating to keep things smooth.

I only use this as deodorant. I wet the bar and my hands, then rub the bar in the palm of my hand, then rub under arm with my palm. I don't rinse it off. Just pat dry. I do not rub the bar directly on my body because the salt crystals are abrasive and you will get small cuts on your skin. Absolutely the BEST deodorant I have ever used.

You can buy a separate tray and buy only crystals will be cheaper. However the problem is you will get tired of cleaning the tray. Since the urine stays in, it will get into the tray and you will need to clean it with bleach. It's a real pain. I gave up and use re-usable paper containers. It's a lot easier. Each box lasts about 1 month. It's a lot better than anything else at this time.

I wish someone had been able to answer your question because I have the same problem. My preferred brand of stick deodorant is discontinued, so I'm considering the Lavanila Grapefruit one, but it's kind of pricey if I buy it only to discover that it triggers my asthma (which is what happened when I tried two new off-the-shelf brands). Since you asked your question several years ago, have you tried any of these products since then?

My husband prefers Tena pads also because he travels a lot and frequently is not able to stop for a bathroom break. The Tena ultimate pad has great absorbency and relieves his worries about taking a bathroom break if he sneezes or coughs. Yes, they are for men too!

I'm not sure. My friend got it and his wife used it. I don't see what makes it for men only. My understanding is that this stuff is effectively a salt stick. I'll usually rub it 10-20 times under each arm to get sufficient coating. The salt supposedly dries and then when you sweat, it kills the bacteria which is why you aren't suppose to smell. I can't see how that basic premise would any different for a man or a woman.

Yes the peel is effective for both men and women. This is a more aggressive peel so it would be ideal for males without sensitive skin.

I am not 100% certain; however from what I can tell they are comparable and use the same technology. Most people feel that the high frequency "violet ray" wands like this one are more powerful than the Dermawand. Most people also tend to feel this device is more effective than the Dermawand. I am certainly no expert, but these answers are what I found after doing some research on the two devices "side by side".

Ive treied both and think they are just about the same, Detroit beard balm in my opinion has a more manly scent so I like it better, does just as good of a job as honest amish... AND DETROIT BEARD BALM DOES NOT SMELL LIKE BATHROOM CLEANER AT ALL. It has a manly scent, that I enjoyed rite away, I use both..

It's the same amount as a regular deodorant, like secret hopes this helps:)

Honestly, the only difference is that, like with many personal care products, two identical products are sold with different labels and prices.Here's the rule of thumb: The woman's product often comes in pink or purple and usually costs more, and the man's product often comes in navy blue, red, dark green, or red. If you check the listings for the two versions of this product right now, you'll notice that this trend holds true for this product as well.Since they're functionally identical, buy the cheaper one!

It totally works for men! No girly scent either! Your skin will drink it up:)

No, I would say. The crystal is a salt, so if you shave first it would probably sting a bit when used. I am a male, so don't have the dilemma. Just to make sure I tried it on a small cut on my finger and it stings. It is a natural salt, ammonium alum, which back in the day men used to stop the little spots bleeding after shaving with a single straight edge razor. It won't hurt you in the long run, but would sting if there is any little cuts or nicks from shaving your armpits. Also depends if you use an electric shaver or a blade type. The trick is to either keep you underarms a little wet, or wet the deodorant stick, then go round and round or up and down in the armpit making sure it gets on everything under your arm - hair and skin- and then I blow dry my armpits. And for me, it keeps any odor away all day! LOL

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