“I have received some criticism over the years about being too bold in my frank discussions about the human condition of odor. Advisors have tried to water down my message to make it more appealing to the masses. If you have to stop and think about how to get your message in through the back door, or say it in a way that makes everyone comfortable, you are missing out on the true wonder that is your core audience. I am unapologetically me.”

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Shannon Klingman, founder and inventor of Lume Deodorant for Underarms & Private Parts, an innovative product that is changing the narrative on hygiene for women. Shannon successfully developed and patented her clinically proven formula that empowers women to discreetly and effectively manage odor concerns at home. By taking the science in a whole new direction and paring that with her outspoken honesty she has her eyes set on taking over this very tired industry by busting up some long over told myths regarding feminine hygiene.
