Hmmm, BO occurs because bacteria break down the proteins in our sweat into acids. So it certainly isn't the acids in the juice that would prevent the bacteria.
Do the people who use this find that they still sweat as much it just doesn't smell? Or is it acting as an antiperspirant?
Still sweat, but no BO, just a nice lime smell. I prefer this because it allows my lymphatic system to drain, otherwise my lymph gets backed up and it leads to sinus congestion and blocked pores.
I wouldn't try the lemon or lime since I shave, and the thought of getting acidic citrus juice in shaving nicks just makes me wince.
I tried one of those salt crystal deodorants once, and the salt didn't agree with the shaving nicks either. Ouchhh.
Try the mix I mentioned earlier after shaving and showering.
It does not irritate you skin at all and the softness lasts for days on end. It also has a nice fragrant appeal. The talc I use has a masculine fragrance, but there are similar sandalwood talc's for women.

Ever since I watched an episode of Doctor Oz a month ago on which a guest recommended using lemon juice instead of a chemical laden deodorant I have been happy with the results! It does work very well! Simply smear on the juice of a lemon slice to cover the armpit area and let it dry. I do not worry about eating a "healthy" diet and find it not necessary far as odor goes but some believe in it.
Oh wow, I'll have to try this! I got a really bad burning sensation/rash from the baking soda+coconut oil mix.. Since then, I've been using rosemary water, which is refreshing and works great, but must be applied more than once a day.
I feel dumbfounded that this has been around for so long and I didn't know how to properly utilize it. I've used lemons in the past as natural deodorant from bottled commercial lemon juice and did not have great success. This needs to be strained from the source with a stronger fruit - limes. Once you have the juice, you take two fingers to sop up the juice and apply in and around your armpits generously. Two or three times is enough. Letting it penetrate the hairs and skin and allow it to dry. I work part time at a stadium and it was in the 80s here in Georgia and several hot hours later, my armpits smelled like maple syrup. I am not kidding. Somehow the chemical composition in the lime mixed with the sweat creates a stale maple scent. This thing last 3 to 4 days at a time before you have to apply again. I've been using it for a month now. The creator knew exactly what he was doing. Bought into commercial propaganda all my life and am finding out repeatedly most of what we need is right in the ground.

I think it depends on what kind of sweater you are. Strong, less strong, more/less odor, emotional sweater, hormonal sweater, activity sweater ...
I tried it all - did not work for me. Also tried apple vinegar. I have a strong hormone imbalance and guess that's why nothing works other than real deodorant.

does lemon juice work as a deodorant? Very well!
