What to know before buying

1. Remove the refill from the paperboard tube and snap it into the case until it clicks.

3. Allow 2–3 days for your body to adjust if switching from an aluminum-based deodorant.
4. Recycle the empty refill tube in your curbside paper recycling.
5. Order new refills online or find them at major retailers like Target and Whole Foods.
6. Clean the case occasionally with a damp cloth for best hygiene.
