Antiperspirant/Deodorant discussion

Had a solid test yesterday, because it was the first day I wore long-sleeves to work (only good thing left about California), but they had the heat all borked up so I was sweating my balls off all day. Even had my fan blowing on me to cool off. Constant trickle of sweat down my back and under my arms it felt like (I'm exaggerating, but you get the point). But no smell at all, even when I got home that night and took a really good whiff.

Got this stuff in the mail earlier this week and I'm now a believer. As long as I put it on right after showering is key. I bike commute to work most days so I'd usually have to reapply deodorant after getting to work and wiping down but not anymore. I fucked up monday because I applied it in the morning when I woke up, not after showering the night before. Slight B.O. at the end of the day. Tuesday I applied it before I went to bed and no B.O. at the end of the next day. And since I was off work today I spent the morning cleaning then did a 1 hour ride this afternoon. No B.O. after the ride and that was 14-15 hours after application. Good stuff. I'm sold.

I stink like shit easily and have worked long and hard to get sweat and odor under control.

I have a pretty comprehensive deal. Kiehls body wash exfoliating armpits but balls and feet with brush at least every 3 days. I do regular showers one to two times a day depending on if I worked out that day.

A big mistake people make is applying their deodorant right after they get out of shower while pits are still wet. A big trick to increase. Success is to wait until they are dry after shower. The dryer the better, little to no moisture

I shave brush teeth and apply my products after I get out of the shower and gold bond feet plus nuts/ass and deodorant are the last thing I do so I am as dry as possible by then.

If I’m in a rush I use a blow dryer to help dry it out.

I use this deodorant and it’s absolutely badass.

I just recently shitlorded this weekend and didn’t start smelling noticeably until the third day with no shower, and my wife still wanted to have sex with me. Achievement unlocked.

I love kiehls. I use their stuff almost exclusively. I feel way fresher walking into the office after a nice shower. if you read ceo from kiehls skincare advice he says the biggest thing you can do is add an spf moisturizer to your daily routine (ie a facial sunscreen). I use the kiehls and es great

So I was out all day on NYE. Left my house at 10am and didn't get back until 4:30am on the 1st. Long ass day. Anyway, my salt deodorant stopped working at some point. I noticed a slight musky smell, but not full fledged stink. I was near a McD's, so I went in and grabbed a single salt packet of iodized salt and went into the restroom. Lifted my shirt and wiped my pits with water, then melted some salt onto my fingers and wiped it into my pits. This actually kept me free of all stink until I arrived home and was able to take a shower before completely shutting down. I know it isn't completely the same, but damnit, it worked!

This salt thing is making me laugh. I’ll have to try it sometime.

I take the nuclear approach to body odor though because my smell can get wierd quickly.

Anything less than total odor genocide is a no go for me. Future Alzheimers be damned.

Craziest shit I ever saw “deodorant” wise was in Brazil. Me and my buddies thought it would be a good idea to go to a strip club. Bad idea, hint: they are all brothels. You walk in and the “strip club” portion is suspiciously empty. That’s because you aren’t meant to stay very long. Long story short we found some “ladies” to hang out with for a while and drink with. It became quickly apparent that they were going for the close but we slowed them down and hung out, i got decently drunk.

It started getting on and they were pushing a little harder and she showed me her panties that had a little bar of something that looked like soap hanging there, and I knew it was time to run. These “strippers” didn’t know how to pole dance, had some questionable tactics, but god bless that booty. I’ll never know exactly what type of febreeze system she was running down there nor do I ever care to find out.

My friend and i game planned our exit (none of them spoke English) and acted like we were going to the restroom and did the ole dash. We of course were paid up with the friendly bartender that was charging us 20/drink (the price to hang with the ladies alone I suppose) lmao.
