Question: With all the hype of "The Lynx Effect" why not actually get a woman's opinion on this? Well hey presto your wish is my command and here you go, a verdict on lynxdeoderant from someone who's supposed to fall flat at your feet and beg you back to mine the second I get a single whiff of your lynx deoderant. Hhm-mm
Now ive had to consult my friends and brothers on how well lynx works in terms of combatting those sweat pores. But lets be honest, that sometimes just isnt as important as to how good it smells. Everyone knows the way to a girls heart is hygiene and cleanliness, and smell is a BIG part of that.
I'll be honest and just say it right now. Any lynx smell to me immediatly takes me back to the days of secondary school and the boys changing rooms. The floor's covered in muddy puddles, the showers are surely talking because of all the mould and green gunk growing all over them, and the 15-16 year old boys coming back in from a rugby session and rather than showering, quickly do themselves over with a towel and think spraying half a can of lynx all over themselves will mask the smell. *YUCK* Im not the only girl who thinks that. In fact anytime im out with my girlies and one of us smells lynx thats what the conversation will immediately turn to, how gross our male counterparts used to be all those years ago. And how maybe thopse who are the age we were then now might just be the same.
Now i dont know how fashionable lynx is with the younger audiences today, but when I was 14-15, lyns suddenly was seen as a fashion dont as we were then old enough to have something alittle pricier, and something that would hide any unpleasant smells (they're called showers boys-but I can understand how when you're at school you just dont have time to shower before next lesson-silly pe staff). And that view has stuck to my current age now of 20. So if you're over 15 my advice is to stay away from lynx if you're fashion conscious, or just dont use too much-hopefully that way you'll be able to fully appreciate that a flood of deo is just too overpowering and frankly quite a turn off, be it lynx or something else, quite the opposite of "The Lynx Effect."
Staying power in terms of smell I can say is very good. A gain it just takes me back to secondary school where we've had pe just after or before lunch, yet come bus time and the lads still stink of the stuff, mixed with sweat of course because it just wont mask it. Staying power in terms of perspiration its average. If you're at school/office just typing all day that this is fine, be it anything where alittle more acitvity is required like walking to work say (this is what my brother found as a challenge to lynx) then generally lynx isnt the best way to go. Also, the sprays according to my brothers and friends are far superior to the roll ons which take an age to dry but can still feel moise during the day even without any streneous activity. Ive been told the rolls ons can irritate the skin a lot more than the sprays, and irritation occurs when a large amount, be it the roll on or the spray is used.
Conclusion-spray away gentlemen but only a spritz and after a shower. Otherwose the lynx effect is going to be that the woman you're trying to woo cant see past those days of old and think you and your hygeine habits are immature.

I'm less horrified to discover that the adverts are lying about the effect it has on women than I am on finding out that girls really did sneak into the boys' changing rooms. That's plain dark. ;-)
