It lasts forever! You just wet the stone and then rub it on your underarm. At first I noticed that it didn't seem to stop wetness as effectively as commercial products that I used previously, but there was no odor problem - it is a deodorant, not an anti-perspirant. Also it needed to be reapplied after 24 hours (and what product does not?). So I was quite happy to be using something less risky and nearly as effective. Over time, I believe it has actually been more effective now that my body is no longer coping with harsher chemicals. Recently I looked for a new crystal because I wanted the larger (regular) size instead of the travel size that I had started with (which has still not run out!). So I purchased a Thai Crystal Deodorant Stone at the <a href="http://www.ellwoodthompsons.com/" rel="nofollow">health food store</a>, and I'm happy with it. It also comes in other forms - including the familiar "roll-on" style. Both brands are available online. The first alternative deodorant that I tried was Le Crystal Naturel, and I love it!
