Tom’s of Maine earns mixed reviews: many say the toothpastes (including kids’ Silly Strawberry and mint variants) clean well and suit sensitive users, while deodorants divide opinion—some find the non-aluminum sticks effective and pleasant, others report odor breakthrough after a few hours. The brand’s ethical, animal-free positioning resonates, but issues include limited longevity for deodorant, occasional greasy feel, and fluoride-free toothpaste being ineffective for cavity protection.

really good flavor, I like that they have other flavors other than mint. Even though it's for kids, still works really good, and is a really good price. very affordable. I think that it works really well.

I like their deodorant. It is without aluminum. It is a stick version. Doesn’t smell perfume like which I like. It doesn’t work for all the strenuous activities you will sweat right through and have to reapply.

Over the years I have used & loved products from TOMS OF MAINE. I really love the clear mouthwash. I love all the toothpastes I have tried. I buy the toddler toothpaste to gift to friends for their children. My absolute favorite product is the unscented or lavender deodorant.

PROS: I love that Tom's of Maine's has a great, ethical, and animal-free product that is healthier than a lot of other alternatives. CONS: I have very sensitive skin and Tom's made my skin break out and, on me, didn't seem to last as long as regular deodorants.
Simply doesn't work for me, I still sweat and smell B.O by the end of the day!
I've used their stick deodorant in lemongrass. It smells lovely, lasts a long time. I'm not sure it's any better than a regular brand live Dove for example, but it did smell nice. Tom's of Maine also sell fluoride free toothpaste which I accidentally purchased once. The toothpaste had a nice flavor, but without fluoride is useless at protecting against cavities and tooth decay.

Sometimes the deoderant leaves a slightly greasy feeling under your arms, but I found just using a little less helps avoid this.
I’ll buy this brand if there isn’t any other natural brand available. But it’s not my favorite. The deodorants and toothpastes are a bit weak
Natural with diatomaceous earth
I use the non aluminum non scented deodorant, and it is the ONLY one that does not make me smell worse than if I didn’t even wear deodorant. I even tried switching back to traditional, so if you’re looking for a non aluminum deodorant, save yourself the time, get this one!
I ordered Tom's of Maine deodorant for my pre-adolescent child, scent Wicked. I was looking specifically for a product that didn't have aluminum and also didn't smell too masculine or feminine. This fit the bill. It helps control odor that comes as they grow and it was much needed.

Tons has been a reliable brand for a long time. I appreciate being able to find products like these in most places that I can trust. I have been a user of their toothpaste for a long time and have great teeth.

Their deodorant is awesome, though I really wish for sustainabillity reasons they had palm-oil and plastic-free options. The deodorants, for me, work as well as conventional brands like Axe and Old Spice and don't have the clumping issue I commonly get with natural deodorants
Toms of Maine products suck, EXCEPT their children’s Silly Strawberry toothpaste. Their deodorants? You’ll sweat and stink. Their adult toothpastes? Bleh! But Silly Strawberry? So tasty! Especially great for those of us sensitive to mint and who hate baking soda toothpastes!
Use Tom's of Maine toothpaste for my kids who have super sensitive skin and have a reaction to ingredients found in traditional kids toothpaste. This toothpaste is made from either naturally-sourced/derived ingredients which do not cause a skin reaction. And it minty fresh.
I tried their deodorant. The feel during application is great, but sadly it does not last a long time in me. I do not suffer from strong armpit odor, but not sure why it only lasts like 4-5 hours for me. My previous deodorant lasted a full day.
Used to be a regular user of the toothpaste (5star) and the deodorant (3star) but back then, I had higher ideals and I felt good about myself when I used these. Now, I’m just a consumer of whatever I can afford, and the ideals Tom’s championed just felt like they got too pricey for me. The products deserve a 5. My own world outlook took away those 2 stars.

I wish I could live up to your brand identity.
I love the approach to a clean deodorant however, this wasn't effective for me, and I smelled of BO after a few hours of wearing it.

Making the scents a bit stronger or more lasting without compromising it being a clean product.
