The Boozy Details: Why use Vodka and Whiskey?

We can take a wild guess that the first time you stumbled across Pit Liquor you thought booze in your deodorant couldn’t possibly…work. We get it, it was mind-blowing for our founders too, and we don’t judge you for the skeptical raised brow. We’re just glad that this revolutionary epiphany has helped so many pits go toxin-free, that’s the main goal after all.


If you’re new here and aren’t on the Pit Liquor bandwagon quite yet, stick around as we get into one of our favorite topics –  the key ingredient behind what makes our special concoctions unique AND highly effective for pit stench, or any other stench for that matter. That’s right, it’s alcohol.

Why Do We Wear Deodorant, Anyway?

Why Do We Wear Deodorant, Anyway?

Can you imagine a world without deodorant? Let alone personal hygiene? Humans weren’t nearly as obsessed with smelling good when we lived in caves. Our stink was actually the least of our concerns with more of our focus on, you know, surviving. Don’t judge us, but we think the history of BO is actually pretty cool.
