'No smell at least for a day:' Lume's full-body deodorant is now down to $12 a stick
Choosing a new deodorant can be tricky. You want something that doesn't have an overpowering scent but still has enough punch to take out body odor. And if it happens to be free of certain ingredients like aluminum, even better. Well, there's a natural option called Lume that you've probably seen commercials for — and right now, you can save $15 on a two-pack at Amazon.

At $12 a stick, this deodorant is worth it, especially because it can be used all over your body, giving you plenty of mileage. Right now, you can save a solid 38%, so if you've been wondering what the hype is about, now's the time to find out.
One of the biggest things Lume has going for it? What's not in it. The deodorant is free of potentially harsh or harmful ingredients, including propylene glycol and aluminum, and it bypasses potential skin irritants such as gluten, baking soda and soy.
"There is some concern with using aluminum chloride, which is present in regular antiperspirants," Dr. Gary Goldenberg, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, tells Yahoo Life. "However, there are no human studies that show it causes cancer or any other adverse reactions, other than that fact that some may develop an allergic reaction to it."
Lume can be used anywhere on your body that needs odor control: your armpits, feet, privates and more. Just glide it on and move on with your day. It's hypoallergenic and safe to use pretty much anywhere you have skin. It promises to block odors for up to 72 hours, giving you ongoing coverage. Choose from a range of on-sale scents, including Lavender Sage, Clean Tangerine and Peony Rose. Prefer unscented? It's on sale too.
More than 19,000 five-star Amazon reviewers swear by everything from Lume's scents to its coverage.
"It really works!" said a happy customer. "Ever since I've had children, my armpits stink. Maybe hormones? I have tried so many deodorants (including men's) and nothing has worked. This stuff works! No smell at least for a day."
"Can't say enough good about it," said another fan. "Going through perimenopause/menopause with all the heat flashes and night sweats, which gives off a whole different kind of odor. I have literally about 10 different kinds of deodorant on my shelf I've tried, from sticks to sprays to clinical strengths of all different brands ... none of them work. Lume does!"
"I have one armpit that gives me issues, I call it 'Brad Pitt,'" said a third shopper. "My partner says on its worst days it smells like an Italian sub with extra onions. Not the scent I'm going for. I've tried all types of sports, men's, clinical deodorants, not much has helped. So far, it's been working really well, and I'm pleased with the scent and how long-lasting it is. Tried during a workout and it did great. Even great for under-boob sweat."
"I have seen this product advertised for a while now and doubted it would work," a skeptic said. "I have to say, working 12-hour shifts, it is definitely a game-changer. I bought the unscented version and used as directed. It did keep unwanted body odor at bay. The only downside is that it has a slick type of feeling. It does not dry like an antiperspirant."
Some shoppers said the scent didn't last for a full three days, but still put in a good performance. "It does not work 72 hours for me, though it did work about 24 hours," wrote one. "I'm going to keep using it, and see how well it keeps working."
Another reviewer added, "They're on the expensive side as far as deodorants go, but anything without aluminum seems to be going up in price overall." (Good thing you can grab two on sale right now!)
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

Bill enacting nation's strictest limits on corporate health care influence signed by Gov. Kotek
A doctor works at a pharmacy. Corporate investors eyeing local health care facilities in Oregon could soon face one of the hardest markets nationwide. () Corporate investors hoping to take over local health care facilities in Oregon could soon face one of the hardest markets nationwide. Senate Bill 951, which was quietly signed into law by Gov. Tina Kotek on Monday, sets the strongest regulations on private and corporate control of medical practices in the nation, according to industry lawyers. A similar effort failed in the Legislature last year amid pushback from Republicans that prevented the bill from meeting key legislative deadlines. The governor told reporters at a news conference Monday that the bill should be a model for other states and for Congress. 'We need to make sure that our health care providers and our delivery system stays local and is controlled locally,' she said. 'That's what that bill is trying to do.' The legislation was opposed by companies such as Amazon and the statewide nonprofit Oregon Ambulatory Surgery Center Association, an industry group, where executives see private investment as vital to their business strategy. 'We universally agree that the way to protect clinics from closure and maintain the broadest patient access to outpatient care is to keep the existing, and multi-ownership models alive and well,' wrote Ryan Grimm on behalf of the association and the Portland Clinic, a private multispecialty medical group, in a March letter to lawmakers. 'In some communities, there is no hospital to swoop in to the rescue, or no hospital in a financial position to save a clinic,' he wrote. The bill does not go into effect immediately and it contains a three-year adjustment period for clinics to comply with the restrictions. Institutions such as hospitals, tribal health facilities, behavioral health programs and crisis lines are exempted. 'We're at an inflection point in this country when it comes to the corporatization of healthcare,' wrote House Majority Leader Ben Bowman, D-Tigard, in a statement May 28 following the bill's passage in the Oregon House. 'With the passage of this bill, every Oregonian will know that decisions in exam rooms are being made by doctors, not corporate executives.' The signature from Kotek deals a major victory to local providers and doctors, who sought to wrest back control over their practices in key decisions such as spending, staffing levels, physician ownership stake, and the price of services. The legislation would close what supporters say is a loophole in state law, which mandates that doctors hold at least a 51% stake in most medical practices, but which companies have taken advantage of by employing their own doctors — sometimes from out of state — and putting them down on paper as clinic owners. Then the company itself, or a hired management service, is brought in to handle payroll, accounting and other services, shifting away control and revenues from the clinic to the company, and from what was once a locally operated business. The bill limits the control such companies can have in a clinic's operations and would ban noncompete agreements used by companies to prohibit doctors from taking a job at a different practice. Support for the bill coalesced around the takeover of the Eugene-based Oregon Medical Group by the health care giant Optum, one of the nation's largest employers of physicians. The surrounding area lost dozens of doctors, leaving over 10,000 people without care, according to a Frequently Asked Question's document from Sen. Deb Patterson, D-Salem, after Optum required its doctors to sign non-compete contracts. Optum reversed course after pressure from lawmakers in May 2024. 'This bill is about preventing the kind of takeover that happened at the Oregon Medical Group in Eugene,' wrote state Rep. Lisa Fragala, D-Eugene, in a May statement. 'When we see consolidation in the healthcare market, we see three things happen: higher prices, negative effects on the quality of care and decreased access to care.'

Grab the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 while they're back down at their lowest price ever
All products featured here are independently selected by our editors and writers. If you buy something through links on our site, Mashable may earn an affiliate commission. Save 20%: As of June 9, grab the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 earbuds for $199.95 at Amazon, saving you $50 off their $249.95 list price. Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 $199.95 at Amazon $249.95 Save $50 Get Deal There are few situations more annoying than being mid-workout and constantly having to readjust your earbuds so they don't slip out. Maybe that's only beat by someone being way too loud next to you at the gym. Or forgetting your fitness tracker at home. In the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 earbuds, the brand aims to solve all three problems. And as of June 9, you can get these earbuds on sale for just $199.95 at Amazon, putting them $50 below their full price of $249.95. SEE ALSO: The 9 best earbuds to buy in 2025, selected by Mashable experts So what exactly makes the Powerbeats especially well-suited as exercise earbuds? Like many pairs of open earbuds, they come with an ear hook for keeping them firmly in place. But unlike open earbuds, the Powerbeats also have an in-ear design, which allows them to use active noise cancellation. I've tested these earbuds very briefly, so while I can't speak to the full experience of using them, I can speak to their noise cancelling doing a better job than I'd expect any pair of workout earbuds to do. I also found that while they can be a bit awkward to put on at first, once you find the right tip earbud and angle, these earbuds are comfortable and secure enough for workouts. However, they might cause some soreness after multiple hours of wear. SEE ALSO: The most comfortable headphones we've ever tested will take care of your ears These earbuds also come with a built-in heart rate monitor. You do have to use both earbuds to get a reading, but our sister site PC Mag (also owned by Ziff Davis) found that the "performance is more or less in line with the Apple Watch." For anyone who finds touch controls a little too sensitive or unreliable, especially mid-workout, the Powerbeats Pro 2 come with tactile touch controls, minimizing the chances you'll accidentally pause your music over and over again. As any good workout earbud should be, they're sweat resistant and splash proof, with an IPX4 rating. Apple's H2 chip gives the earbuds fast and reliable Bluetooth connection with any Apple device, making them even easier to use. Honestly, these earbuds biggest drawback is the price. At $249.95, they cost the same as a pair of AirPods Pro, but with a few specialized features, they may be a great fit for anyone looking for a good pair of workout earbuds — especially if you grab them on sale.
