Mitchum sticky underarms

I am using Mitchum Fragrance Free Clear Gel at the present moment. Good results all day long. I have purchased the Mitchum Power Gel -Superior Strength - Powder Fresh. Alas, I am sorry to say that this product is not effective at all. It stays wet and sticky under my arms although a little is applied. Can somebody please explain this to me?

Mitchum such a waste of money and product

I love the way Mitchum's Smart Solid works with no white marks on my clothes but I have lost most of it to my bathroom floor because of the crumbling! Such a waste of money and product.

I agree with all of the comments about Mitchum Smart Solid falling apart. It works great if you can keep it together.

Dry Idea 48 hr. protection is a good alternative to Mitchum's Smart Solid, it does a comparable if not better job with no breakage.

Mitchum highly annoyed

I bought the Mitchum Power Gel as it is "so amazing" - what is so amazing about it? Its expensive and does not do as it is advertised! I am unemployed and do not have money to throw around and waste! it states "Quick-drying: no trace of messy white residue on YOU or your CLOTHES" whoever wrote/did this product must be BLIND! My arm pits and clothes look so disgusting and it is so embarrassing! I am so disgusted and will never use any other Mitchum product again! I deserve a refund! Your supposed to keep your name held high instead if I was you guys I would rather never mention who you work for! I am embarrassed for you!

not only does the white residue show but the bottle should be made smaller so everyone can know the true ammount they paying for, why use such a 'big' bottle if there is only HALF of the bottle being in use, or is it just to fill the product with stickers of lies?

Mitchum breaks on minimal use.

Stick breaks after a couple of uses. Most recent solid after 1 USE. Have used the solid for 15 years. And in the last year I have had a 100% breakage rate. Thye last various amounts of time (Never anywhere near using the stick entirely), most recently, the stick has been used 4 times and is now useless. For the previous 29 years I NEVER had that problem.

Mitchum mitchum gel is a poor product

I bought a Mitchum Power Gel roll on and I must say its the most ineffective product in the Mitchum range. Firstly the lever that is used to take the roll on up or down stopped working and I can only take the roll on up but not put it back in the tub. Secondly I find that even if I use it my armpits still smell and I used to find that other Mitchum roll-ons are very good but this one is just useless I regrett wasting my money on that product.

Mitchum solid stick breaks off and crumbles after a few uses

The fact that this product breaks off and is impossible to reattach just after a few uses is extremely frustrating.
So you excuse it and throw it away thinking, it must have sat on the shelf to long or maybe it was a bad batch, ( the person in charge of that batch was just having a not so good day, I can relate to that). So know, lets bring out the second tube. And guess what happens? You guessed! It also broke apart as well. This has happened numerous times! If there is a problem with the product, let the consumer know, it is our hard earned money that keeps you in business and keeps us from not making much of a stink to the rest of the world due to the crumbling effect.

I thought it was just me who had this problem, although I like to buy the best quality products my funds are limited and thus I can't afford to pay extra for a product that I can't use more than a few times before the packaging fails. I just wasted an hour looking through my receipts and my drugstore's online records to see if I could find proof of purchase to return this item. I will not be buying it again!

I've had the same problem for years and I still use it because it works best and has the least amount of skin irritation. Have you been able to contact the manufacturer? I've tried several times and it seems as though they're not really interested. If this is the case I may need to look for a replacement.

Mitchum top breaks completely off

I used to use the odorless gel version and one day my wife brought home this new solid called Mitchum Smart Solid Clinical Performance. She said it was all the store had and that it replaced the other version. I was not happy but I tried it and I liked that it did keep me dry. But about a week after starting to use it the top 1 1/2" to 2" of stick broke completely off the top. My wife said I probably turned it up too high and she bought another one that day. That one broke off the 2nd day of use and I only had about 1/4" of the stick above the plastic. It broke off about the same place as the first and pulled up out of the sleeve when it did so. The third stick she bought has now done the same thing. Is this the new way for Mitchum to get us to buy more? By having us throw away that much of every product what does that make the real cost of the product? And have they tried applying the deodorant with the broken off edge? I think I'm done with Mitchum and will go back a product that is a gel.

Mitchum white marks

The Mitchum Unscented deodorant claims on the back that it is gentle on skin (which it is) and wont stain clothes (which it does!). About $200 worth of my nice tops have been destroyed because of this false advertising! There is no way to remove the white marks and its really annoying me. Do not say you can provide something when you clearly can't! I would like this matter to be solved or I will go further with my complaint.

Please contact me through email.

Natasha.

Mitchum ruined clothing - do not use

Mitchum SmartSolid runied my brand new shirt. When I got to work today, in my BRAND NEW $32 shirt, I noticed that the nice blue color of my shirt had developed "bleached" looking rings under each arm. Not only did this product cost me $32 in the form of a new shirt, it cost me a certain amount of dignity that I cannot get back. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS ABOUT THIS ON THE PRODUCT-DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!

Its not the deodorant per se', it's the combination of your body's chemistry (ie, diet, environment etc) and the antiperspirant that contributes to your sweat stains. I'd advise you to wear a T-shirt under your nice shirts, don't lather on your deodorant so thick, and consider switching to a "spray" deodorant.

Regarding the bleaching, Google some remedies for getting rid of sweat stains before washing.

Mitchum bleach stains

I have been using Mitchum for a few weeks now, and i've been noticing more and more "bleach" stains on my favourite tee-shirts. I'm furious. At first, I thought it MIGHT be something else, but the stains are under the armpits and all up and down the sides. After finding this site, I realise it IS the Mitchum. Great. I'm about over $100 and some of my most favorite shirts. I'll buy anything BUT. I'd rather put on another brand 3 times a day then ruin my beautiful clothes with this crap. Mostly, I'm angry that there's absolutely NO warning on the container that this product may cause stains. Mitchum is poo!

I have been a loyal user of Mitchum Clear Unscented for years. I was miffed when they changed containers, as the new style applicator let out way too much of the product. When the container lays on it side I end up smearing off the excess to get a controlled amount of product on my skin. Too much product equals irritated armpits. I'm guessing they redesigned the container to maximize use, whether on it's an underarm or on a kleenex!
Now I'm REALLY miffed - not only have they changed the container, they have changed the formula to " Mitchum Advanced 48 HR protection with Oxygen Odor Control technology". Problem is, this new formula leaves stains on my shirts, whereas the original product in the original applicator was great….easy to apply controlled amounts and no stains. My question is why change a good thing? I am now looking for a competitor's product that will do what Mitchum used to do. Sorry Mitchum, you're a big loser in this marketing choice gone bad.

The Dr. I worked for just bought new uniforms for all of the employees at our office. I used Mitchum gel deodorant and some got on my new uniform top and left bleach looking spots on my top. I'm going to have to replace the uniform top and I will be put out about $35.00. Needless to say im not very happy about this.

Mitchum causes rash

After years of using Mitchum deoderant, I stopped a few years ago because it didn't seem to be effective any more. They must have changed the formula to something that didn't work for me. In an effort to find my way back to Mitchum, I tried Mitchum for Women, Smart and Solid. It gave me a rash every time I wore it! I couldn't believe it so I kept coming back and trying it again. Rashed. Wow. I miss my effective Mitchum so much!

Mitchum crumbling deodorant

mitchum is by far the most effective anti-perspirant i have ever used, and their smart solid option the most user-friendly for many reasons.unfortunately, no matter how careful i am, every single one of them crumbles!as they are fairly pricey, this makes them unreasonably expensive.
mitchum, you have just lost a loyal consumer...boots makes a similar product that works almost as well and doesn't crumble.

Mitchum product has changed and is ineffective

Two months ago I bought some unscented roll-on and it didn't work. I did not stop sweating while I was in a meeting. Lucky I was wearing a loose fitting T-Shirt that was white. This is the first time your product did not work on me and I've been using it since the 90's. I tried the Gel next and it was scented, I still sweated in my next meeting and it doesn't cover the oder. Your product is not working and I am going to change to another brand. I don't know what you did to change your receipe but it is ineffective.

Mitchum poor quality, crumbles

I have been using Mitchum for sometime, but now I am very dissatisfied with the quality of the solid deodorant. It crumbles, wasting at least half the deodorant. I wonder, has the company ever tried to apply deodorant using their hands? Little difficult! I am aggravated, because I have been unable to contact the Mitchum company using the 888 number, 1-888-8MITCHUM, so I can't even complain to them. If anyone has had success with that, please email me at [protected]@aol.com.

As mitchum is the only deodorant that works for me I had to find a solution for the crumbling dilema. After each use I run it under water for a couple of seconds and replace the lid. I solved the problem mitchum deodorant needs to be kept moist at all times to prevent crumbling.
