I ruined so many shirts with anti-perspirant stains that I stopped wearing it. On the other hand, seriously, I have a lot of shirts where the smell in the underarm area can’t be removed no matter how many times I wash, pre-treat, or Febreze it.

What's a good all natural? It's really shown that the aluminum is terrible for you. But the non pasty deodorants that are more like a clear solid end up feeling sticky and gross. People in the UK use roll on which is so 80's but it's like all they have.

Deodorant if have a plane flight of more than, say, 90 minutes. If I have a presentation or a meeting or a medical appointment, or any situation where it will be uncomfortably hot or may involve getting sweaty to arrive there. If I'm going to be find myself shoulder to shoulder with others, or at the barber's, or trying on clothes.

Otherwise no. I lead a calm life and my big exercise is walking. I smell like one of my species and not an unusually ripe one. I'm not ever en route from the gym to the board room.

I don't drench myself with Axe or the preferred scents of DL aficionados who, by their own admission, buy the years old shit on eBay and think they smell divine. (Or so Mother says.)

don't use cologne, as i think deodorant is enough, i do use "natural" organic deodorants though, if i'm not leaving the house that particular day, i don't wear any...

then again, i'm at the gym 5 to 6 days a week, so i have to wear deodorant i guess every day, i think i meant that after i get home and shower, and don't leave home the rest of the day, then i don't use any until i go to the gym the next day...

i also shower every day even if very briefly after the gym..i'm talking a couple of minutes shower...

Since I have been in lockdown, I stopped putting on anti-perspirant because I shower every day, but I don't go anywhere. However, I also exercise 5 days a week at home, doing two kinds of cardio twice a day. I noticed about 6-8 weeks ago that even after I shower, my underarms still smell. This is only a recent thing, even though I've been exercising w/o using deodorant for months. I like not using deodorant, but I don't know why I still smell after showering and using a charcoal body wash.

On the days I know I have to go out, I will put on some Degree, and there is no smell whatsoever.

Shower gels do not get you as clean as old fashioned bar soap does. You ripen much more quickly using shower gel. Took about a year for me to figure this out. The gel leaves a deceptively clean-smelling film, which soon turns.

The only safe fragrance is cologne that you make yourself.

I don't know any thing about deodorant and antiperspirant, but I do know about cologne.

Cologne is made from pure ethyl alcohol and pure essential oils.

Research the subject online, because I cannot write a book here on how to do it.

Check out the Basenotes Forum: and then go to the"Fragrance DIY" sub-forum.

I sometimes find that even after a shower there is still a small amount of pit smell. I think it is due to the skin and residual film on it, not that I am not clean. So I dab white vinegar on a facecloth after the shower and voila! Clean as a whistle! Prob once or twice a week only.

An excellent deodorant for your pits is hand sanitizer, either the alcohol or non-alcohol kinds. Or you can use rubbing alcohol. Applied to freshly washed armpit, it kills the germs that cause stank for about 24 hours.

If you read the instructions, most deodorants/antiperspirants say to apply only every other day.

I used to shower with hot water every day but I was having all sorts of problems with skin rashes and such. My doctor referred me to a dermatologist and the first question he asked after examining me was how often I showered. When I told him, he told me that my skin was too delicate for that and to shower three times a week under lukewarm water. He also said it's really only necessary to soap up your pits, groin and feet. On the days I didn't take a shower, I should still wash up all over at the sink with a wet washrag.

I followed his advice and within a week, all the rashes, itching and dry skin had cleared up.

I think we as a society in the West do use too many soaps/chemicals on our bodies but that said, I also know your average crowd of people in the U.S. smells better than your average crowd of people in Africa or India.

Or, if not "better" then certainly less funky.

I shower pretty much daily but I only wash my hair every other day or two and it's much healthier. And, I frequently just wash my face with warm water and a wash cloth and I get fewer breakouts than using tons of soap on it constantly.

As for deodorant, I just use the Suave....I like the coconut smelling one.

A lot of BO is diet-related

If you don't eat dairy and salt is the main spice in your food you will reek much less than someone with a spicier and/or dairy-rich diet.

That said, at some point you will reek, so best not to skip deodorant.

Native is a great brand--it was only available online for a while, but they seem to be selling in stores now too.

The scent is not very overpowering like many traditional deodorants

Interestingly, that's how people stayed fresh in former times when frequent bathing was thought to be unhealthy. Good clean linen against the skin absorbed a lot of funk, and if it was changed frequently you smelled pretty good. Of course, only the wealthy could afford to do that.
