Great protection all day love the bay bounty especially doesn’t leave me feeling sticky and stinging

Wish I got this product sooner

Very impressed with how well this product performs. Day one I was on a roof In a flanny, cleaning the gutters in 30 degree heat, sweating like a snowman in a sauna and afterwards I smelt just like I had before I started.
I’m hooked

Great product

Wow I couldn't believe how great this product works, seems to last at least 48hrs, I will be buying again A1

Love it

Smells great, feels great and lasts all day in the sweaty Territory humidity!!

Awesome product

Actually smells awesome compared to your off the shelf supermarket natural deodorants that smell like nothing! Milkman have got something good going on here will definitely be purchasing more.
Only thing I’d like to see is more non plastic packaging like some of the other companies are doing or even just an option for non plastic tubes for the deodorant.

Best deodorant going

Best stuff I've used lasts easy 12 hours I'll never buy anything else

Great natural product!

Love this stuff, smells great best I’ve found so far and priced well too compared to others on the market, lasts a long time. Will be making it my regular.

🙂

A great product, love it 👍

great smell

Last all day

Love it! Highly recommended

Love the long lasting, Awosme smelling ! All natural, it’s the best ! Repeat customer

Absolutely amazing

Deodorant

It’s too early to comment on all my purchases but I am happy with the product I’m using

It’s a must for ever man.

Long lasting coverage. Robust smell and not sticky and doesn’t transfer into clothes. Excellent packaging. Quick service and hassle free.

Best Beard Balm

Great long lasting fragrance and doesn’t leave your beard too oily but keeps it soft and the hold is just right - awesome product!

Surprised at the product

I was dubious about ordering natural deodorant as I have always used commercial canned deodorants. I have only used one of the 3 pack that I bought but I am totally sold. Smells awesome and keeps me fresh all day. Impressed!

Good wood

Very surprised and satisfied with the King of Wood Fragrance and even better when my wife loves the way it smells on me rather than mass produced fragrance which i was using previously

Best ever

20 years of hard, slogging tree cutting work in humidity of Queensland, and this product has been the best by country mile. End of the day, I’m still smelling fresh.
Got me for life now thanks.

Amazing! Scent last for ages

A company that stands behind their products, good stuff!

I purchased all the scents, I kept the Sandalorian as the wife and I both quite liked it, I will be buying more, it is very effective, even during heavy sweating sessions. Returning the others was very easy as the Milkman customer service department acted on my request promptly, was all very easy.

Excellent product

As a bigger guy who works outside I do a lot of sweating and get very dirty and greasy This body wash far exceeds everything else I have tried and leaves me feeling and smelling fresh

5 Star Products

Absolutely love the change to these products, can't rate them highly enough.
Scents are pleasantly refreshing and no more stains

Handy little stick for your handlebars

I keep coming back to the Milkman stick. It’s just so easy to always have on you, ready to beat an unruly mustache into submission. If cold it can be a bit flaky before you massage it in properly, but it smells great and doesn’t get too oily on your skin. Best wax I’ve used so far and I’m sticking with this stick!

Finally

After years of struggling to find a deodorant that I am not allergic too, up pops the MilkMan. No more itches, no more rashes and best of all no more BO. Love this product.

Great all purpose 3 in 1 body wash

Got the whisky and dry scent. Great strong scent, notice it lingers after the shower Lathers easily. Smells great. Been happy using this. Will be willing to try another one specifically espresso martini next

3 pack of deodorant

This deodorant is by far the best deodorant that I have used. The scent stays with u all day even on a hot and sweaty day amazing
