FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
General
Who can use Play Pits natural deodorant?
All of Play Pits' products are age and gender neutral so they can be enjoyed by everyone. Play Pits is perfect for grandparents, parents and all active kids (even if you are a kid at heart)!
How long will each tube last while using?
Our product generally last between 1-3 months depending on how much you play.
Will Play Pits protect me against sweat?
Nope, but this is a great thing!
Antiperspirants contain toxins which blocks your pores preventing the body's healthy process of sweating. These toxins has also been linked to cancer, therefore antiperspirants are BAD and sweating is GOOD.
Don't sweat it, Play Pits does contain ingredients that help absorb sweat.

Tips for transitioning to natural deodorant.
We would like to reassure you that because everybody is unique, we all have different experiences when transitioning to natural deodorant. One of the most common changes people report is increased sweating. This is because Play Pits all natural deodorant does not contain toxins known for being related to cancer and other unhealthy side effects such as clogging our sweat pores. As you continue to transition to a healthier lifestyle, your body will naturally detox itself. So, while it is not necessary to perform an additional detox, we do recommend that you allow up to 14-30 days for your body to fully adjust. You can read more about the transition here.
Why was this deodorant texture smoother than the last one I received?
Please be mindful that because Play Pits is completely handmade, the texture may vary from one batch to the next. While one product may appear different than another that you received, they are all equally effective so you will still be #FunkFree when you use it. In the unfortunate event that the texture of your deodorant makes it difficult to apply, we encourage you to contact us by sending one direct email to customerservice@playpits.com or one message through the contact form on our website.
Will Play Pits leave stains on my clothes?
While we cannot guarantee that your clothes won't be stained, we do suggest that you follow our application instructions fully to minimize the risk of transfer. When using Play Pits, rub it in completely with 2 fingers and let it dry as much as possible before getting dressed. If you have any clothes that were previously affected, we recommend that you try oxi clean or dry cleaning. If you prefer DIY methods, try the tips here.
