AKT Deodorant Review UK: Is It Worth the Hype?

Last updated: 12 April 2026

Cool Factor: 4/5

This AKT deodorant review is the result of three natural deodorants in two years. The first one gave me lumps. The second gave me a rash so bad I thought it was a skin infection. The third, AKT, has done neither. Ten weeks and three scents in, I've found the one I'm sticking with. Here's the full story of how I ended up rubbing a balm from an aluminium tube onto my armpits, testing half the range, and actually being happy about it.

Wype Review UK – Is This Wet Wipe Alternative Worth It?

Last updated: 24 March 2026

Cool Factor: 4/5 — Stone cold

If you've been thinking about ditching wet wipes but don't fancy the hassle of reusable cloths, this Wype review is for you. Wype is a UK-made gel that turns ordinary toilet paper into a moist, fresh wipe — no plastic, no fatbergs, no guilt. With a UK-wide ban on plastic wet wipes now confirmed (Wales from December 2026, England from May 2027), the timing for a switch has never been better. So is Wype actually worth it? We've been testing it to find out.
