When I created StinkBalm, I knew firsthand what it felt like to walk into a patient's room and want to give them your full, undivided presence without the distraction of overwhelming odors. What I didn't fully anticipate was how many people outside of the ER would find the same relief.
These are their stories, in their own words.
"Sooo nice to pop under a face mask…"
Emma G., a new nurse, keeps both the Coffee and Lavender scents on hand:
"I have both the coffee and lavender scent in the StinkBalm and they are amazing… Sooo nice to pop under a face mask when you're cleaning someone up… or just to smell something other than hospital air."
That's exactly why StinkBalm exists; to give healthcare workers a small, dignified tool that makes a big difference on long shifts.
"Now she carries the balm and is very satisfied."
Not every hero works in a hospital. T.O. shared how StinkBalm helped a family member:
"My bonus mom is very sensitive to smells and fragrances. She was carrying coffee grinds in mini bags to help clear the air. Now she carries the balm and is very satisfied."
From makeshift solutions to something that actually works. That's the StinkBalm difference.
Everyday Use, Everywhere
StinkBalm isn't just for clinical settings. The stories keep coming in from all kinds of workplaces and situations:
An echo tech shared that her studies can run up to an hour: "This has saved me multiple times to complete a study without losing my lunch to a smelly hospital room."
A school employee put it simply: "I work in a school where kids wear way too much cheap perfume and cologne. This is a lifesaver to my sinuses and my sanity."
One customer purchased it for her partner who is an embalmer: "She hates the smell of the chemicals she works with every day."
Others use it for fragrance hypersensitivity, daycare diaper duty, home visits, skilled nursing facilities, and outpatient surgical centers. If there's an overwhelming smell, StinkBalm shows up for the job.
Whether you're on the floor of a hospital or navigating a busy office, StinkBalm fits quietly into your day.
