do you not smell body odor or do you just get used to it?

Genuinely curious. I have met a few people of different walks of life that I could tell did not and I have always used it, so I’m just curious. I know there was a couple that stopped using it for around a year, and they said their body actually end up not perspiring as much as when they used antiperspirant, but I’d like to know other people’s experiences.

My wife says my sweat doesn’t have a scent unless I eat garlic or I’m having sex. So if you smell my bo I just came from eating a pizza, or I just came

I kinda have luck, i actually only need deodorant in summertimes, but i lightly use one nonetheless. But i know people that needed to test different ones until they found one that helped to prevent smelly armpits. Shaved armpits probably help.

People who don’t refer to people as ‘who’ instead of ‘that’.

I got his meaning. Isn’t that the purpose of language, in the end?

Yes, but this is about more eloquent expressive languages and complex meanings imparted by words being subverted to something akin to monkeys signing for a gumdrop.

That all who’ve flamed me for bringing this point to light, you’ve actually proven my point and shown exactly where ‘we’ are on the timetable - thanks for your ill thoughts.

Antiperspirant deodorant isn’t good for you with the Aluminum. I used Antiperspirant for a while it worked good on me. Then I switched to something more natural. I smelled really bad for a month after the switch, tricks so you don’t smell bad try different brands some work great and some don’t work at all for oder control, I like Shmitts, Hello and Native. Before I took a shower or anytime I had oder I used a Alcohol pad to wipe my armpits and apply deodorant as needed, during shower time when I shampoo my head and shampoo my pits. Over time I use natural deodorant once a day without having a bad smell.

That aluminium is bad is actually not true. I heard it multiple times, but if you search on reasonable sources its not an issue at all.

The people who do this:

  1. Don’t give a shit about your comfort. They have sky high levels of not giving a fuck about anything. These people are intensely antisocial. They’ll play loud music on their Bluetooth speaker in public transport and get mad at you if you complain.

  2. Suffer mental illness like schizophrenia and depression. People who can barely get it together to procure food.

  3. Hippies who think aluminium will give them cancer or something.

Um…is this for real? I was shocked to learn from this post that someone assumes everyone wears antiperspirant, let alone thinks all this shit–even if you’re exaggerating to make a joke, this is definitely weird.

I think I wore antiperspirant when I was a teenager. But deodorant works just as well without antiperspirant. It just doesn’t block your sweat glands. Not to mention the aluminum in the antiperspirant is what turns your pits yellow on your shirts. Just use regular deodorant if you want, people. Don’t let this weird antiperspirant elitism affect you.

Also, some of us just don’t need antiperspirant. It shouldn’t come as too big a surprise that some people’s body chemistry make them not stink or sweat the same way others do. It’s all diet and genetic makeup.
