I'm not sure how old I was... All I remember is seeing my friend applying some deodorant one morning and thinking to myself that if he needed it at that age then I did too!

I think 6th grade. But that was only because all of my friends started using it. I think I actually started needing it around 7th or 8th grade.

I do it to save my clothes from being washed after 1 'wearing'. I'm a cheap mofo, and don't want them to be worn down so fast... then summer came and ruined my plans.

Last week. Until then I used anti-perspirant. So far I'm unconvinced. After a long day outdoors I still smelled a little bit. But if it means that my shirts don't get stained white in the pit area, it will be worth it.

That's antiperspirant. Quite a bit of deodorants have antiperspirants mixed in though. To my knowledge, the reason for using deodorants is to kill the bacteria that are on your armpit and keep em gone. They're what make you smell :p.

As to when I used it... no idea.

I sweat so much that no matter what type I use now, its effect wears off in a couple of hours.
