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.

I simply do not have bo. I've never worn deodorant because se I've never needed to. I've had the non existence of my non bo confirmed by men, women , and non gender confirming individuals.

when I lived in a cool climate I could barely find an antiperspirant that worked for me. now that I live where it's hot and humid I don't wear antiperspirant anymore. I still sweat just as much, I just don't smell

Normal body smell is not harmful. People need to get over this weird idea that we are not animals.

A few drops of lemon is all you need. Apply only every three days or so. Not every day.

People who don't refer to people as 'who' instead of 'that'.

Antiperspirants create their own issues. They're not something I want cloggingvup my pores, giving me boils, and messing with my body chemistry. Its like eating Tums, once you start you've fucked up your stomach acid and have to keep using them.

Take a shower once a day, and you won't have any issues.
