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.

    Regular deodorant works just as well as antiperspirant for stopping scent, and if you don’t sweat all that much, there is relatively little difference.

      Exactly. Luckily I don’t sweat much or smell much, so basic solid unparfumed deodorant works fine.

      This is what I do. I don’t like the ingredients that make up antiperspirants so I stick with not stinking.

      I generally don’t sweat too badly either, which helps.

      I sweat the same amount with deodorant and antiperspirant! Either way, under my arms are going to be a little wet, but also I don’t smell either way.

      If I go a day without deodorant though, I can definitely tell
