I've been dealing with stinky sweat ever since puberty hit, and I sweat a lot. I've spent thousands on deodorants, antiperspirants and everything in between, thinking this was just my fate. I eventually made peace with it. Then I started seeing countless posts about this magical alum and my curiosity spiked again. I've tried many home remedies for my smelly pits, most of which failed, but I have a good feeling about alum. I asked my husband to pick some up for me, so now I'm ready to give it a try for the whole crew. Wish me luck, drop your tips and keep your fingers crossed. I'll report back soon.

Why is every post on Reddit about alum stone now

I'm also trying alum for a week now. It works okay on normal days – at least I don't smell. The change is gradual though.

How does this work? Do you apply it before using deodorant or after?

Good luck! It's cheaper than I expected. Do report back and stay hydrated!

I've been using alum on my face for acne all this time and had no idea it had another use. Thanks!

Where did you get it? Amazon lists it for around 200.

Where can I get it? At a medical store? Someone said grocery stores, but I only have an Aap Ka Bazar nearby and similar shops.
