Getting Started with Woohoo Deodorant
Can I use Woohoo Deodorant anywhere other than my underarms?
Yes. Chest, back, under your bust, between your thighs - anywhere that gets sweaty or smelly. Apply it the same way you'd apply it under your arms, and go easy on the amount, because a little really does go a long way. Our deodorant sticks double as
Can I use Woohoo if I have hairy armpits?
Absolutely - hairy pits are no problem at all. The only thing to watch is that it reaches the skin rather than sitting on the hair. With the pastes, rub it in until it disappears, the way you would a moisturiser. With the sticks, swipe it on and then
What does ‘detoxing your pits’ mean, and do I need to do it?
Around here, "detox" doesn't mean anything extreme or medical - your body handles that side of things by itself. It simply means clearing away everyday buildup so your underarms feel clean, comfy and ready for deodorant. Our Armpit Detox Mask uses a
How much deodorant do I actually need to apply?
More is not better. For the sticks, two to four swipes per arm. Two or three is where most people start, and four is about the top of it. You don't need to rub a stick in. For the pastes, somewhere between half a pea and a whole pea per underarm. Sta
Is Woohoo All Natural Deodorant an Antiperspirant?
No. Woohoo makes deodorants, not antiperspirants, and the difference is worth knowing. An antiperspirant is built to reduce how much you sweat, usually with aluminium salts that temporarily plug the sweat ducts. Every Woohoo deodorant is aluminium-fr
Why do I still smell when switching to natural deodorant?
A bit of extra odour in the early days is normal, especially if you're coming off an antiperspirant. It's the adjustment period, and for most people it settles within a week or two - for some it takes longer, and that's normal too. A few things can b
Does Woohoo deodorant stain clothing or leave white marks?
The yellow staining people usually mean by this is related to aluminium-based antiperspirants. Aluminium antiperspirants tend to react with sweat and leave yellow marks in the fabric. They can leave white marks too, where the aluminium dries on the s
Stains on my clothing - how do I deal with those?
Stains come from two places, and the fix is different for each. Antiperspirant and sweat stains. Yellowing is the classic one, and it comes from aluminium antiperspirants reacting with sweat. Aluminium also dries white on the skin and rubs off onto y
When (and how often) do I apply my Woohoo Deodorant?
Once a day on clean, dry skin, usually straight after your shower - that's what works for most people. It's flexible, though. Shower at night and you can put it on then, or leave it until the morning, whichever suits you. If you shower twice a day, y
Will the deodorant make my armpits feel sticky?
It shouldn't. A light application is all you need. The sticks go on light and don't need rubbing in. With the pastes, work it in like a moisturiser rather than leaving it sitting on the surface - that's the bit that stops it feeling like anything at
Why do my underarms feel irritated?
Underarms can be sensitive, and irritation can pop up for lots of everyday reasons — even if you've been using Woohoo happily for ages. First things first: pause your deodorant and let your skin settle down. If it doesn't settle, or the skin is broke
How long can I wear Woohoo deodorant for?
All day, which is what it's made for. We'd suggest taking it off before bed rather than sleeping in it, the same way you would with makeup or sunscreen - washing Woohoo off at night covers that.
Do I need to wash Woohoo off at night?
Yes, and it's worth doing every day. A wash at the end of the day resets your underarms and stops product building up over time. Most people do it in the evening shower. If you shower in the morning instead that's fine too - what matters is that it c
What’s the best way to remove natural deodorant?
Warm water, a gentle soap and a soft washer or cloth. Woohoo is meant to stay put. A stick leaves a thin film sitting on your skin all day, and with the anti-chafe sticks that's the whole idea. A paste gets rubbed in until it disappears, but it's sti
Can I use Woohoo deodorants after shaving or waxing?
Yes — but it depends on how your skin is feeling. Shaving and waxing can leave skin a little tender, which can make deodorant feel a bit zingy straight afterwards, especially on sensitive skin. If your pits feel totally fine, go right ahead. If they'
Why does my deodorant suddenly seem less effective?
A few things are worth checking before you write it off. If none of that shifts it, get in touch and we'll work through it with you. It's also worth knowing about our 90 Day Freshness Guarantee.
