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.

hell, I shower once a week, when I'm not doing manual labor like, say, construction or weightlifting. (which I then shower immediately after.)>

I don't smell at all by day 6, but my hair gets mildly greasy, so I wash it.

live at 6273ft above sea level, in a "high desert plains", acccordig to google.

YMMV, obviously.

worth noting that I've also been noseblind since birth, and the only feedback I have in my scnents (or lack thereof) has been my family's noses, and my partner's nose.
