- Devrom can be purchased online for about $20 and has a taste similar to banana Runts candy.

- Some users noticed little benefit and stopped using it, suggesting that individual responses can differ and longer trials might be necessary.

2. Alternative or complementary methods for controlling odor:
- Liquid pouch deodorants like M9, Na’scent, and Safe & Simple are praised for reducing odors, including those from fish.
- Changing your pouch frequently and rinsing it with water when emptying can help reduce odor.

5. General tips:
- Since everyone’s body reacts differently, consider any deodorizing product, whether it's Devrom, pouch deodorants, or gas remedies, as a trial-and-error process.
