Heck those! I'd rather smell natural scent of human species than get chemicals brurnt into my scent glands.
Some folks go too crazy with deodorants I tell you what.
*EDIT: Some folks does not agree with my hot take about people who overuse deodorants, perfumes and other strong-scented cosmetics (and that's okay). I have nothing against deodorants and perfumes, nor I think they are harmful in any way. I just tend to get dizzy, nauseous and bothered with strong scents.
Few users took my "chemical burns" bit literally, which was not the point. As mentioned in response to one comment, I meant it in a "stare onto bright light and then have a momentary black spot in a vision" type of "burn".
I hope it clarifies some misunderstandings around my comment. I won't engage any further, but feel free to do what your heart desire.
To everyone who upvoted, downvoted or read my comment. Have a safe and happy summer! Stay hydrated <3*
My youngest brother thinks like you and uses a fancy all natural deodorant made with coconut oil and baking soda. When he gets into the car, the car smells like BO. When he visits and has his own bathroom, you can smell the bathroom when you walk by.
Can't speak to subjective preference, but there is no scientific research suggesting antiperspirants or deodorants can burn you or harm you in any other way when used as directed

I've had antiperspirant fuck up my armpit hair. They were white with a weird texture for a year. I stick to deodorant now
you can definitely slightly hurt yourself with antiperspirants, just because sweat exists for a reason. When it's 40°C you need every single drop of sweat your body can muster to avoid heat stroke.
Thankfully deoderants without antiperspirant exists.
Ah yes, fair pont. I didn't mean it in literal burns; more like smell so intense, you can still smell it even if you're away from the source, just by breathing. OH! just like when staring right into very bright light and for a moment you see a dark spot. And off of which both are really bothering to me
Lemmy anti vax shit. Just fantastic.
What does that have to do with vaccines?
"Pseudoscience" is a pain in the ass to spell I guess
Where?
I mean. Calling names out of nothing? Come on
Good Lord the inability to tie associations together is crazy to me.
The above is pseudoscience bullshit.
except you don't smell our natural scent, you smell the stench of bacterial byproducts, because people can't go around constantly cleaning their armpits.
Also you can just get deoderants that aren't antiperspirants. There's no downside to those, they just neutralize the smell and cover up the remnants with some perfume. (you can even find pure deoderants without even perfume if you look hard enough).
True. Smells of bacteria's farts.
In theory we could if you catch my drift. Some people use it as a fetish, but personally I'm not that brave.
Pardon my eventual ignorance, but from my understanding deodorants are perfumed - "stink mitigation" if you will and antiperspirants are just to try and sweat less, like "stink prevention"
as the name suggests de-odorants are supposed to remove the smell, and the perfume is just an extra to mask what's left over and to make you actively smell nice.
The stuff i get is lightly perfumed and works great, it frankly baffles me that it's not the standard. There are also completely non-perfumed ones, usually branded for people who are allergic or sensitive to smells or somesuch.
