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.

Antiperspirant deodorant isn't good for you with the Aluminum. I used Antiperspirant for a while it worked good on me. Then I switched to something more natural. I smelled really bad for a month after the switch, tricks so you don't smell bad try different brands some work great and some don't work at all for oder control, I like Shmitts, Hello and Native. Before I took a shower or anytime I had oder I used a Alcohol pad to wipe my armpits and apply deodorant as needed, during shower time when I shampoo my head and shampoo my pits. Over time I use natural deodorant once a day without having a bad smell.

That aluminium is bad is actually not true. I heard it multiple times, but if you search on reasonable sources its not an issue at all.
