People that don’t wear antiperspirant… (lemm.ee)

do you not smell body odor or do you just get used to it?

Genuinely curious. I have met a few people of different walks of life that I could tell did not and I have always used it, so I’m just curious. I know there was a couple that stopped using it for around a year, and they said their body actually end up not perspiring as much as when they used antiperspirant, but I’d like to know other people’s experiences.

Um...is this for real? I was shocked to learn from this post that someone assumes everyone wears antiperspirant, let alone thinks all this shit--even if you're exaggerating to make a joke, this is definitely weird.

I think I wore antiperspirant when I was a teenager. But deodorant works just as well without antiperspirant. It just doesn't block your sweat glands. Not to mention the aluminum in the antiperspirant is what turns your pits yellow on your shirts. Just use regular deodorant if you want, people. Don't let this weird antiperspirant elitism affect you.

Also, some of us just don't need antiperspirant. It shouldn't come as too big a surprise that some people's body chemistry make them not stink or sweat the same way others do. It's all diet and genetic makeup.
