People who do not use deodorant

[Eli]

If you're that stank, deodorant isn't going to do much.

Tell him he needs to shower.

You do anything moderately strenuous, and your body assumes it's in for a three-hour haul and cranks up the sweat pumps.<BR><BR>I get sweaty eating dinner if the house isn't freezing.

<BR><BR>You too? LOL, my GF looks at me like I'm a loony when I sweat while eating something warm on a warm day.<BR><BR>Not only will I sweat with even the most moderate exercise now, when I do work out, I look like I'm taking a shower... I'm so soaked and dripping.<BR><BR>BTW, one way to keep your sweat less stinky is to stay away from onions and garlic (even garlic pills can make your sweat stinky). Peppers do it too.

I'm the same way. I sweat like crazy. I've been asked whether I've poured my water bottle over my head or drank it (not that it'd be any different either way, since it comes out as sweat I suppose). I think it's partly genetic, though, since my dad sweats quite a bit.

 

I hated being in the computer lab with the immigrants trying to program stuff.
The worst was when they would all gather in a group near the window.

But, that's what people do in the computer lab, trying to program stuff.

Back to BO. The smell can be BO due to lack of hygiene or spicy food they eat. But, it can be
odor in their clothes (when they cook the spicy smell may stick to their clothes &amp; jackets especially when they live in a studio apartments). Winter time is worse, since they don't regulary wash their winter jacket.
So, deodorant is useless in this case.

Hey, listen, I know what's important. Free music and pornography.

Well, I have been in some situations where people really smell and you HAVE to put up with them. Interesting, my friend was reading about a study on deodorant use and its cancer-causing effect (like everything I suppose), but he actually uses a Tai mineral salt with all natural ingredients. So, I bought one of my own and tried it and it works great. Anyway, just for those curious...but seriously, consider other people and try to be a professional when you leave the house!

It think Tom's of Main and Jason Naturals both make natural deoderants (their without anti-persperants). BTW, I don't think anti-persperants work anyway, and I just read recently that the alumimum in them are what causes yellow stains in light shirts. Not sure about white stains in dark shirts.

And I dont see how changing brands can help if you've become tolerant of one, since they all use the same thing for their anti-persp.

I had a roomie for a short while that showered about once a week. By day four, he would stink up a room just by sitting in it. If anyone gave him a ride, the smell would linger on the car seat for a week.

I'm really weary of using deodorant with aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly(anti-perspirant)...

Aluminum is a toxic metal, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it did indeed cause cancer.

Women have it worse, because more of the deodorant contacts their skin....

I used to be able to soak a sweatshirt in high school just be standing still, great boost in self confidence there. The main issue is not the sweat, but more that your wondering if you smell bad as you just might be used to your it by now. It would be fairly embarrassing if someone told you you smelled bad, but at least you can try to do something about it.

Using something like Drysol or Maxim will help quite a bit, from the burning you feel, I'm guessing the thing sucks out all the moisture from your pores closing them, but it does wonders.

Another thing they suggest is to switch deodorant as your body might get used to the other one.

At our university, the ones who smelled the most were the international students that arrived from Africa. In some of those countries, I think that it's not in their culture to use deodorant but when you arrive over here, some people get offended.
