[Excelsior]

Do any of you have a good explanation?

Why does deodertant without anti-perspirant exit?

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Pit perfume, that's all.

 

[Pepsi90919]

uh, exit?

 

[Platypus]

Because not sweating is a bad fvcking idea.

Where does it go when it exits?

 

[feralkid]

Not everyone exits large amounts of moisture from their pits, but odor is a more universal exit strategy.

Therefore "deodertant" is enough.

Consumer Guide:

Most people think that antiperspirants and deodorants are the same thing, but they aren?t. Antiperspirants work by clogging, closing, or blocking the pores with powerful astringents such as aluminum salts so that they can?t release sweat. (Note that aluminum can accumulate in the brain.) Deodorants work by neutralizing the smell of the sweat and by antiseptic action against bacteria. Deodorants are preferable because they don?t interfere with sweating, a natural cooling process.

Pitopia.

 

[byronface]

is the question phrased wierd for anyone else?

anti-perspirant > deodorant

someone wearing just deodorant after they stunk themselves up just smell like BO mixed with deodorant..

AXE is evil.

I don't use it, it's disgusting. You'll get arm pit cancer.

I use Antiperspirant because I sweat excessively, it looks bad, and if I use regular deodorant, I smell like sweat/BO too. Not too appealing.
I'll take the risk.

Screw the cancer. If you don't sweat out your pits, it has to come out somwhere else - like your ass. I prefer sweaty pits to swamp-ass. It's getting harder and harder to find my favorite deodorant in the non-anti-persp variety, which is really annoying.

 

[BobDaMenkey]

I try to get an antipersperent because I haven't encountered a deoderant that will make my pit smell completely stop. I'm a manly man because I stink all the time, except for about 30 minutes after I get out of the shower.

It does exist. Speedstick has none of the alumina stuff.

Sorry about the typo. I know it exists, I was asking why, and now I know.

 

[moshquerade]

some people are sensitive to anti-perspirant, as in allergic rash, so they just use deodorant.

Yup. Sometimes when I used to use the anti-perspirant, everytime I would take a shower and start rinsing there, the skin would get really itchy and irritated...

I don't mind sweating, but smelling is what sucks. So deodorant is enough.

Isn't there a connection between aluminum and Alzheimer's? Remember hearing something about it.

 

[PeeluckyDuckee]

I used deodorant for awhile and it didn't mask it at all. Anti-prespirant or however you type it did the magic for me. No sweat, no stinkie poo.

But is anti-prespirant a natural thing to do to the body though since you're blocking sweat from surfacing?

 

[necine]

I dont sweat that much... I just use deodorant

 

[huesmann]

You only THINK you don't sweat much...

You would be able to cite the exact source if you hadn't been using anti-perspirants!
Oh noes! Teh Alzheimers has already begun!

 

[Jeraden]

I only use deoderant, I won't touch anti-perspirants.

 

[Amused]

It is simply amazing how myths spread and stick in the minds of otherwise intelligent people.

There is NO valid evidence to say "clogging" up your pit pores is in any way "bad" for you.

While there have been correlations found between aluminum levels and Alzheimer's, there has been NO valid evidence to suggest the aluminum CAUSED the Alzheimer's. And since Alzheimer's is more likely to follow family lines than it is lifestyles, it's doubtful. It's more likely that the person likely to develop Alzheimer's will also accumulate more aluminum in their brains because if it.
