Can‘t disagree more. You just need to buy a proper one and not Axe or similar deos that smells like ass.
The deocream from Greendoor works like a wonder and is not an anti-transpirant, and I sweat a crazy amount.
Counterpoint, aluminum is bad for you, anti-persperaint is hard to clean off your body and cloths, humans are allowed to smell a little. As long as you’re not smelling like a highschool gym and shower regularly and after exercise, a light application of deodorant should be plenty for the majority of adults.
Third PSA: deodorant smells fucking awful. I would rather smell your natural stink, though I’d most prefer if you just bathed regularly.
Fourth PSA: your surface microbiome can be cultivated through diet and washing habits. If you have a healthy lifestyle, your pit stink will be mild even when you’ve been exercising. (However, your microbiome is inherited from your parents, so if they were disgusting, you might need probiotics)
Bathing is NOT new to humans. For example lots of Native Americans used to bath regularly. And some used plant saponins or even soap (wood ash and fat) to help clean up.
I actually just don’t go to the office anymore but basically the temperature most people find comfortable is hot for me and also I get sweaty walking. I’m built for a nordic winter.
At home I can keep temperatures comfier for myself, prefer about 18 indoors.
I stopped wearing deodorant a few years ago. Clean clothes and showering. I do get funky after being soaked in sweat for hours so maybe if I worked in a kitchen right next to people that’d be a different story
Do you have any Asian genetics in your ancestory? There’s a gene that causes you to not have BO, which is common in Asia.
My wife has the gene, although it’s from her native American ancestry (either 1/4 or 1/8). We can go camping for a week and she’ll maybe smell like sweat, while you can smell my BO from a mile away a few hours after showering and new deodorant.
PSA: deodorants don’t do shit if you don’t shower before applying. If anything, it might make the smell worse.
Second PSA: Deodorants never do shit, use an antiperspirant.

I know people who think this, and they need an antiperspirant.
There’s a very wide spectrum of BO.
Some people just flat out don’t have BO; it’s a genetic thing. And some people will smell regardless of showering and deodorant/antiperspirant use.
An unfortunate majority can’t smell their own BO and think they fall into that category.
I think you have your ratios wrong.
If you think you’re one of the people who doesn’t have a BO then I have unfortunate news for you.
I know Im not one of those people, but my wife is.

I used to be able to skip antiperspirant and just use non-scented deodorant.
And then I birthed a kid. My hormone balance has never been the same and I stink more. Deodorant is a necessity now.
People are different and need different levels of hygiene control.
Probably you are overthinking it. Even bathing is new to humans, you don’t “need” it
Oh I adore when a stranger on the internet tells me I’m overthinking my own body.
Bathing is by no means new to humans. Plus, we’ve been masking our funk in different ways for thousands of years.
I suppose I should have clarified as “daily bathing”

Okay I’ll just have a bath installed in the office then.
Just shower before you go out and wear clean clothes

Nope I’m honky as shit
