I guess a
mini-deodorant isn’t that heavy. But in backpacking, weight is everything. Swipe contacted me just a few days before my recent backpacking trip offering a sample, so I gladly opted in. After all, a few packets of wipe-able deodorant are way lighter than the lighted deodorant stick.
Plus, they’re biodegradable, so I don’t even have to pack them out! (unfortunately, the envelope the wipes come in isn’t … which I find odd)
I have a terrible sense of smell, so I can’t speak to what Swipe smelled like. But no one complained about my stench, so this may be a no news is good news situation: I just smelled like everyone else, and everyone else was wearing real deodorant (and still probably stank because backpacking).
Just in case you’re curious, I documented the application process for you:
Yeah, you’re welcome.
