do we really need deodorant?

[meda]

Deodorants contain chemicals which have the ability to cause cancer and other diseases. It can disrupt thyroid hormones and create gangs of bacteria in your armpits. Personally, I don't see the appeal; I do not wear deodorant and I have never had anyone tell me I smell bad. I prefer to stay natural and not risk anything if I smell fine without it.

For the love of God please use deodorant lmao. And if you’re concerned about chemicals use something with more natural base/less ingredients

but it might just be a waste of money

I interact with people regularly who definitely don’t wear deodorant/shower regularly. It’s worth a few bucks every couple weeks lol

i use public transport 3 days a week

some people really need it

I just use a mix of 50% Vodka and a tiny-tiny bit of two essential oils, in a fine-mist spray bottle.

I personally don't use deoderant; there are too many chemicals for me. I also only use natural-type shampoos and conditioners.

[Chaosolous]

Yes objectively.

showering regularly and caring about your hygiene already does the job

[TJSlipperman]

I usually need a fairly strong deodorant to smell good. And for some of us, Axe is the only deodorant that's non-prescription that would keep us from stinking up the place...

Lots of factors
How much you bathe
How active you are
How often you change clothes
What you eat.. more red meat the worse it can get. Onions.

If you can do without it I think it is probably better for you. Only use it on rare occasions myself but live a fairly sedentary life being retired/disabled .. my aerobic workout is a walk around the block.

I can speak for myself, I need it.

The smell of vanilla and coconut is just too good

No, you just need to clean yourself. Sweat doesn't smell anything, the bacterias on your skin does smell on the other hand. So, kill the bacterias by showering and you will not need any deodorant. Only dirty peoples need it to hide their bad habits.

I shower twice a day. I use 3 in 1 kids shampoo. It’s watermelon flavored.

[Slim]

110% Yes. This isn't even a question that should be asked. Especially if you work in the trades or other non-actual-work work like delivery or officejobs. And I always wondered why a particular group of people aren't even phased by their smell until I went to their country.

You don't even need to shower with that asian gene lol, lucky you.

Hygiene is very important to me.

Fun fact but I brush my teeth in the shower as well. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

I mean, 2 times a day is a major overkill, you're just killing your body with all the chemicals and ♥♥♥♥. I wouldn't shower everyday either if my hair wouldn't get greasy after sleeping, it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying.

Also the brushing teeth in the shower is smart, you should also shave there too. 3 birds with one stone.

I don’t shave sadly. I wax.
