I'm ambivalent about deoderant...

I sweat a lot. Feel like I'm a waterworks in the summer. That being said, I'm not BO stinky (stale sweat) even though I am sweaty.

I'm not sure that anti-perspirants actually make me perspire less. I seem to perspire the same whether I wear them or not.

I'm not sure that deoderants actually make me smell less, either. If I shower twice daily then I don't tend to smell...

If I do notice a smell I ask other people 'can you smell me?' and they always say 'nope'. I figure I can smell me before other people can because my armpits are closer to my nose than they are to other peoples noses.

You can get moist wipes that are handy for a quick wipe in the bathroom in the afternoon. I try and remember to do that for my face in the afternoons (to try and help my pores stay unclogged). Maybe they would help remove sweat from your pits?

Maybe I'm unusual... But then I have been involved in a couple discussion board conversations on this now...

Do people really find that using deoderant helps them out or is it more that we have been conditioned to use it (and believe that it helps) even though... It doesn't really?????
