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.
I usually wear deodorant (which generally has an antiperspirant in it), but there are days when I don’t/haven’t; in this limited experience I’ve noticed I would generally smell worse if I haven’t been active. It seems like being up and moving around and sweating from ‘labor’ rather than sitting and sweating (not sure how to word that) is less likely to significantly smell. With all that said, I do try to shower after the gym or when I return inside after working on significant outdoor projects.
P.S., another data point to consider is the individual’s age, as hormone levels (generally tied to age) could also influence perspiration
