People that don’t wear antiperspirant… (lemm.ee)

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.

It seems expensive per tube but you use such a small amount (I split a pea size amount between both pits) at a much lesser rate than normal deodorants that even the smaller tubes last a long time. I bought the biggest size last time I bought it and we've barely made a dent.

There is a small breaking in period for some people, and you are supposed to prep your clothes to reduce residual bacteria (I just wash with the lysol laundry disinfectant, I have two kids everything is germy), but once you find your groove for how often you need it is the best thing ever. At this point I would never go back to regular deodorant.

It also has a nice unscented smell, I can get headaches with strong scents so that was a big bonus. I actually tried Lume because of all the ads and it seemed cheaper but I hated the smell (got a sample pack and they were all awful) I had to use it daily and more if it so I ended up just tossing it after a few weeks and going back to nuud. I don't know why people like it.

Anyway, rambling now, I hope it helps you and you like it.

It's not really about the cost but the initial outlay. I don't want to pay out that kind of money for a test. Not that I don't believe you etc etc.

TBF I haven't been to the OEM website to see if I can get a tester! So almost definitely my bad.

Thank-you again. Struggling to get stuff done atm so hopefully get back soon.
