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.
