Is it still 1900?


Unfortunatly, no.

Okay...just checking.

smells nice and fresh now after a shower. it'll come back in about 20 hours. what a vicious cycle...

Jesus christ, how difficult would it be to have a shower every 12 hours. Morning, and night. You are not living in the third world, water isn't expensive, so use it for god's sake. And how much sugary soda do you drink per day? You're probably guzzling it down, people who stink usually do.

i drink 1-2 20oz bottles of soda per month, as posted in the soda thread. what's your next uneducated assumption?

I have many more assumptions, but I won't test them on/ with you, cos I get that you're becoming a bit hostile ;)

nah, i just needed my ritalin. good to go!

Wasting resources increases your time in purgatory...

Well if you don't want to use antiperspirant then obvious answer is [*]Stink[*]Shower 2x or so a day or [*]Spot cleaning

Choose wisely!

Well I've tried the major brands and they all clog up the pores on my underarms and lead to painful boils. So I just use medicate & hypoallergenic talcum powder. Works great, no problems, lasts about 12+ hours.

My step-mom always kept telling me how when my dad got BO, his pits smelled like chicken soup. She never understood why I refused to stick my nose in his pit and take a whiff.

the most important thing is after you shower and dried, immedately apply speedstick and you're good to go.

might be better for you to shower at night.

Showers take time. And some of us live in the desert and have a water conservation interest.

If it takes you longer than 5 minutes to shower - you have a problem, or need to quit playing with yourself in the bathroom.

i shower daily and scrub the hell out of my armpit (left) to no avail. antibacterial soap too. anti-perspirant clogs pores and leads to other health problems, so that's a no go.

are you saying that only one of your armpits (the left one) stinks?
that's kinda weird.. maybe it has a.. fungus? or something.

or.. are you saying you only wash one of 'em (the left one)?
that's kinda weird too... maybe washin' the right one too would help. :)

It takes 5 minutes for the water to get cold enough. Yes, cold enough. In Tucson the water heats in the pipes, so you have to wait a while to get cold enough water to shower.

brb, gonna try the fire method.

Where the hell did you hear that bit of mis-information? :laugh:MAO

I've been using it for 20+ years and I've never had any clogged pores or health problems from it.

So much insistence on antiperspirant. What about just simple deoderant? You still sweat; you just don't smell bad. At least I don't... but my pores aren't faucets, either.
