So firstly, I don’t sweat a lot to begin with. I’ll go for a run and I’ll be at a mile before I feel sweat beading up. I’ll get a little clammy throughout the day, but rarely have whole body sweats. As a result, I have very low body odor. If I don’t shower, it’ll take several days before my significant other will notice.
But I don’t wear deoderant or antiperspirant. If I do, then its like the rest of my body decides it needs to sweat. Anyone else out there with this experience?
Deodorants don’t reduce how much you sweat, it just masks the odor. Antiperspirants reduce how much you sweat.
In the summer, I get sweaty anyway and take 2 showers if I can: a rinse before bed and a full cleaning shower in the morning. I would get smelly quickly if I did not use deodorant.
Yeah, most people buy whatever product they see first or smell nice but they most probably are buying a deodorant.
When I noticed this and started looking for antiperspirants, it was a game changer, my days were more comfortable.
Might cause some cancer tho just fyi
