Company details
Written by the company
I started Manly to make a real difference in men’s daily routines — most supermarket products are full of harsh chemicals that cause irritation, dryness, and breakouts. Our mission is to create natural men’s hygiene and grooming products that actually work — from body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and deodorant to targeted solutions for acne, dandruff, and body odour. By using high-quality botanicals instead of cheap fillers, we help men (and the mums, partners, and families who often buy for them) feel confident in their own skin. Manly is more than just a shower brand — it’s about giving guys simple, effective, and trustworthy products they’ll actually use every day. – Callum Founder of Manly

Deodorant is a good product
Deodorant is a good product. Hard to find a natural one that works well on sweat and smells. It doesn’t leave streaks, isn’t overly pricey and smells great. This one ticks them all. Would recommend

Hi Chris,
Thank you so much for this review. We know finding a natural deodorant that actually works can be a challenge, so hearing that this one ticks all the boxes for you really means a lot.
We’re especially glad you mentioned no streaks and a scent that still performs well without being overpowering. That balance was really important to us when developing it.
We truly appreciate the recommendation and your support.

Scam website / company
Scam website / company.
AI generated website, fake reviews, links don't work, orders don't get fulfilled.
Product is of poor quality and you get forced to recurring payments/ subscriptions.
Avoid ordering from this company.

Hi Henry,
I’m genuinely sorry to read this, and I can completely understand why you’re upset if this has been your experience. Feeling like your order hasn’t been fulfilled properly or that you haven’t been able to get the clarity and support you expected would be incredibly frustrating.
I do want to assure you that we are a real Australian business with a real team behind it, and we take feedback like this seriously. We’re not here to trap people into subscriptions or ignore customer concerns. If something has gone wrong with your order or account, we absolutely want to investigate it and fix it properly.
I’m also sorry if parts of the website or links weren’t working correctly for you. That’s not acceptable and it’s something we’re continuously working on improving. The same goes for communication around subscriptions and orders. Customers should always feel informed and in control.
If you’re open to it, please send us an email with your order details so we can personally review what’s happened and work towards a resolution for you. We genuinely do care about our customers and would appreciate the opportunity to make this right.

Founder, Manly
Delivered incorrect products and Customer Service is Non Existent.
I am posting this here as it seems responses to negative reviews here are actually forthcoming rather than direct attempts to contact Usemanly. I have been using Manly for a little over a year, this is the first major problem I have had, the customer service is NON-EXISTENT.
I ordered 4xBall Deodorant on my normal subscription (order #71005). I was delivered 4xnormal deodorant (underarm).
I emailed the “help” email address (listed on the invoice and the website) on 26/04/2026 and the 30/04/2026, with the details of the problem (including photos of incorrect products delivered). I have not had a response to either email.
On the 08/05/2026, I used the contact form on the website, advising of the issue and have still not had any response.
There is no phone number listed for customer service.
All I want is the correct products to be delivered. The next step after this will be reporting to ACCC and NSW Department of Fair Trading.

Hi Matthew,
I’m genuinely so sorry for this experience. After being a customer with us for over a year, you should never have been left feeling ignored, especially after receiving the wrong products and making multiple attempts to contact us. I completely understand your frustration and disappointment.
I’ve checked into this and we did respond to your previous emails, but I’m very sorry if those responses did not come through or were never received on your end. I understand how frustrating that would have been, especially while trying to get this resolved. We have also sent you another email regarding this.
Receiving 4 incorrect deodorants instead of the Ball Deodorants you ordered is a major mistake on our end, and I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience this caused you.
I can also confirm that we have processed a refund for the incorrect order. We have also escalated and processed a complete Hygiene Kit to be sent out to you as an apology and to help make this right.
We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention and giving us the opportunity to make this right. Again, I’m deeply sorry for how this was handled.
Callum,
Founder, Manly
This company is a fake
This company is a fake! They have taken an image from another brand (Melvory) where they have the founder posing in front of post office bags of the orders that they packed and used AI to replace that founder In the photo! So fake! If a business does this, they cannot be trusted! What else are they faking!

Impossible to cancel a subscription
Impossible to cancel a subscription.
Don’t use this company under any circumstances..
Unfair trade practices have been employed
Further to the above, there is no clear Subscription option. Only contact via email. There is no phone number.
It required 3 emails to cancel. The first option emailed forced us into chasing around the web site in circles. Second email, not much better.. third email arranged cancelation . It needs to be a simple process.
Calum , happy to edit my review if you can show a more streamlined and functional option

I had a similar experience where I…
I had a similar experience where I ordered what I thought was an entire kit as it was advertised on the website, and I only got a body wash and a deodorant. Meanwhile, I paid the price of what was advertised as an entire kit. There were also free gifts advertise, which I did not receive. When I contacted the company they gave me whatever bullshit explanation and that was the end of it. The advertising/marketing is misleading and it makes me wonder if their products are even legitimate.
These products are also extremely expensive. The marketing should not be this misleading in the customer service should be better.

Hi Jessica,
I’m really sorry reading this. I completely understand how frustrating it would be to feel like you didn’t receive what was advertised, especially when it comes to kits and free gifts. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have, and I’m sorry you felt dismissed when you reached out.
We take this kind of feedback seriously, especially around how our products are presented and communicated. It should always be clear what’s included, and if that wasn’t the case here, that’s on us.
We’ve reached out to you directly to look into this further. If you could please respond with your order details, we’d really appreciate the chance to properly review what happened and resolve your concerns.
We genuinely want to make this right for you.

Hi Layla,
Thank you so much for sharing this, and I’m really sorry again about the backorder at the beginning. We know how frustrating it is to place an order and then have to wait longer than expected, especially without having everything arrive straight away. That’s not the experience we want for you, and we’re continuing to improve our stock planning so this doesn’t keep happening.
We really appreciate your patience while we worked through that, and it means a lot that you stuck with us.
It’s great to hear your boys are now loving the full range and using it every day. That’s exactly what we hope for, products they actually want to use without being told.
Thanks again for your support and for having Manly in your home.

Scammed
Starting to suspect that I have been scammed! I placed an order in March! It’s showing as “label created” when I track it but it has never left the warehouse! I have sent reversal emails and have received zero communication from Manly!
Do not waste your money!

Hi Vedrana,
I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. I completely understand why you’d be concerned seeing “label created” for that long with no movement, especially after reaching out and not getting a response. That’s incredibly frustrating and it’s not the experience we want you to have.
We are absolutely not a scam, but we have clearly let you down here with communication and visibility on your order, and that’s on us. You shouldn’t be left guessing what’s going on.
If you’re open to it, please send us an email with your order details and we will look into this immediately and give you a clear, honest update on what’s happening and how we’re going to resolve it.
I’m genuinely sorry for the stress this has caused. We’d really appreciate the chance to make this right for you.

Been over a month and no update regarding shipment. Contacted two weeks ago & was told they are experiencing ‘high demand’ & will be shipping as soon as possible. Another 2 weeks. Nothing still. Though their website says ‘preparing package’ with my original buy date. Ridiculous.

Hi there,
I’m really sorry about this. Waiting over a month with no real update is incredibly frustrating, especially after being told it would be sorted and then hearing nothing again. I completely understand why you’re upset.

Hi Prue,
Thank you for your patience, and I’m really sorry for the frustration this has caused. Having two orders marked as lost by the courier is incredibly disappointing, and I completely understand how frustrating that would be.
I can confirm that your order has been escalated on our end, and a replacement has already been sent out to you. We’ve also flagged this with the courier to help prevent this from happening again.
That said, you shouldn’t have to deal with this more than once, and we take that seriously. We’ll continue to monitor this to make sure your replacement reaches you without any further issues.
We really appreciate you sticking with us and for your understanding.
