Someone Has to Say It But I’m Tired of Hearing Shannon Klingman Tell Me My Ass Crack Smells

Oops! I said ass crack. Sorry not sorry. But I have to say if I could block Lume advertisements on all my social media accounts I would be one very happy camper. I think their ads are revolting. They are constantly trying to be “hip” and “modern” and more appealing to “the people” by talking about weird body odors. I guess they think this marketing is relatable but I don’t find it relatable at all! I actually find it rather GROSS. I don’t want to talk body odor with you thanks so much!

“Here’s a solid stick of deo you can use on under your boobs or between your butt cheeks!” Ma’am, can we not be so intimate with these adverts? We haven’t even been formally introduced yet!

I kid you not I can’t escape these ads. If I’m scrolling on Tiktok I’ll run across at least two of them coming at me rapid pace and urging me to worry about the smells that may be happening between my thighs, between my my butt cheeks, and other unmentionable areas. A majority of the ads are done by Shannon Klingman who is not only the creator of Lume Whole Body Deodorant but also a gynecologist. But please, someone needs to tell her that being a doctor does not mean she can tell me my ass crack smells and I need Lume.

Listen, I respect your hustle Shannon but the marketing just isn’t for me. Sorry. I just can’t sit here and seriously listen to you describe smells radiating from people’s asses. My inner teenage boy demands to be let out so he can laugh at these ads.

You’re exhausting me, Lume. Please stop? Thank you. Sincerely, the Muse who doesn’t have a smelly ass crack.

How about you? Have you run into these annoying Lume ads? Or any other ads that you want to scream at the screen over?

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    This deodorant doesn’t do anything. Its unbelievably expensive. I contacted the customer service they did reply which was nice. However, they wanted to trouble shoot with me. How does one troubleshoot a deodorant?

    • Isabella Muse

      LOL! Let’s troubleshoot why your deo isn’t working! Are you windows open? Please close all open windows! Hahaha!

  • Julie

    I do not understand all these full body deodorants. I love makeup! I love skincare! But why does our society need to convince me that my body is smelly and gross?

  • Amy

    Use AdBlock Plus, or the Firefox Focus, Brave, or DuckDuckGo browser. Enjoy the online quiet.

    I hate the Lume ads! They’re vulgar, and they’re inventing problems to sell an unnecessary product.

  • Kimkats

    The ones I hate even more are ALL the damn viagra ads! First of all, there’s no “loophole” in the law that lets you sell your “my d!ck doesn’t work” pills online, at least not that I can find. You still have to at least make contact with an online dr. With every business that sells them online.

    And I do not care that your d!ck doesn’t work – sorry ‘ bout that, but can you please not shove it in my face?! A bit of discretion would be most appreciated. K. Thnx. Bye

    • Isabella Muse

      Oh I haven’t been hit with those!!!!!!!!!!! The lume ones though, whoa…! Those dominate my ad space big time! LOL sorry you’re getting d*ck ads! I’m not sure which is worst ass crack or d*ck LOL!

  • Ashe

    I wouldn’t call myself a prude but like, can’t we just keep some things private? Terrible body odor, peyronie’s disease (with the bent carrot commercial,) viagra, the toilet paper obsessed Charmin bears, it’s all too much. If you smell this bad, especially your private bits, you need an actual shower, not just something to cover up.

    I will say, Dove (?) has a full-body spray and the commercial had a girl traveling and I’m like OHH THAT MAKES SENSE. But that woman in the Lume commercial who’s going through menopause and gardening? Ew.

    She’s also said worse stuff about after she has sex with her husband…google at your own risk.

    People feel bad enough about their bodies as it is, they don’t need to add to the pile.

    • Isabella Muse

      Likewise. I’m far from a prude but some things really don’t need to be discussed! LOLLLLL omg I died with the charmin bears! I’m so sorry they’re annoying! LOL! I haven’t seen the dove commercial but Lume has made up for that as it’s all I see everywhere haha! EW stop! No! The sex one? I didn’t see that LOL! Now I have to go look.

        • Isabella Muse

          I just spent too long googling and can’t find this! Please halp! LOL!

          • Ashe

            Okay, I’m going to say it, please feel free to delete or whatever you need to…

            STOP READING IF YOU’RE GROSSED OUT GUYS

            So apparently she was doing an interview where she said that after she has sex with her husband, she has to put a tampon in after because he produces a lot of semen. I mean…

          • Isabella Muse

            Oh my god talk about TMI! I did NOT see that! How crazy to disclose such personal info about your sex life to the world. Jeez! Thanks for sharing Ashe because I admit I laughed!

  • Danielle M

    I am so glad you said this! I also hate those ads and think they are gross and cringy. I always ask myself, am I just getting old and bitchy??, every time I see one.

    • Isabella Muse

      girllllllll girlll! I feel the same way. I see stuff and I’m like wait, am I being a old grumpy auntie or are is this really annoying? I’m the same exact way! But I really do think everyone feels these are cringe AF! Also, the comments are always so funny so I know I’m not alone thinking they are ridiculous!

  • Brady

    It’s the constant, age old rhetoric that make women believe that their different body parts ‘smell’ and that we need to mask it with perfumes,etc. It’s NOT a feminist or modern way of thinking. Stop falling for the hype. Just be you!! 🙂

    • Isabella Muse

      be you and also, just use soap. You’ll be fine I promise! No need for an entire stick of body deo! A block of Dial Soap does the trick!

  • Michelle

    Yes, I was definitely put off by those ads as well, which held me back from trying Lume for a long time. I do tend to ignore ads as much as possible as this point, so I don’t feel plagued by them, at least not recently.
    I did try Lume eventually (the whole body deo and body wash), but they do work for me!

    • Isabella Muse

      It’s so hard to avoid them sometimes! I’m glad it worked for you!!!!!!!!!! I wish the ads were a little better though haha 😀

  • Holly Murphy

    THANK YOU!!! I am so sick of these whole body deodorant commercials in general. My thought is: if you people are practicing proper hygiene and still stink so much, you need medical attention…

    • Isabella Muse

      I agree. You seriously should not have super bad body odors particularly from intimate areas. Body deo isn’t going to help! See a doctor!

  • Daphne

    I thought I was the only one who hates these ads. I run into them on youtube and instagram and of course they are all over TV. I totally agree with you, I would love to block them too.!

    • Isabella Muse

      you aren’t alone! Lume is taking over our feeds! LOL! It’s absurd! and they evoke my rage so hard!

  • Les

    I logged an official complaint on tiktok. When she started bringing up exposure to male bodily fluids out of the blue as yet another shock method to grab attention, I’d had enough. And I work in healthcare. And I block all the women shaking their chests at me to grab attention too. I’m no prude, but I’m sick of excess and long for more intelligent ways to make a point.

  • Powell

    Hahahahaha! Girl, you have me cracking up. I’m just imagining you saying this out loud. 🙂 I’ve never tried any of the products. I’ve read lots of reviews from it’s horrible to it wonderful. I haven’t tried any brand’s whole body deodorant, but if I ever do, it will be Shea Moisture and Dove. I love the Shea Moisture underarm deodorant. It has a cooling feeling when it’s rolled on, has a nice fragrance, and keeps me dry all day.
