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.

People generally tell me I smell good so I don't worry too much about it. I sometimes wear perfume and I usually burn a lot of incense and scented candles at home so probably I have some passive aromatherapy on all my clothes.

I simply don't smell bad, this is a white person issue. Discuss amongst yourselves.

Normal body smell is not harmful. People need to get over this weird idea that we are not animals.

The people who do this:

Don’t give a shit about your comfort. They have sky high levels of not giving a fuck about anything. These people are intensely antisocial. They’ll play loud music on their Bluetooth speaker in public transport and get mad at you if you complain.
Suffer mental illness like schizophrenia and depression. People who can barely get it together to procure food.
Hippies who think aluminium will give them cancer or something.

A few drops of lemon is all you need. Apply only every three days or so. Not every day.

People who don't refer to people as 'who' instead of 'that'.

Antiperspirants create their own issues. They're not something I want cloggingvup my pores, giving me boils, and messing with my body chemistry. Its like eating Tums, once you start you've fucked up your stomach acid and have to keep using them.

Take a shower once a day, and you won't have any issues.
