Can‘t disagree more. You just need to buy a proper one and not Axe or similar deos that smells like ass. The deocream from Greendoor works like a wonder and is not an anti-transpirant, and I sweat a crazy amount.

Just a warning though. Aluminum antiperspirants can cause skin irritation and absolutely cause aluminum salt stains on clothes (bright yellow pits on white shirts).

Also there is a correlation link between aluminum levels and Alzheimer's, but nobody had proved causation so it may be an unrelated coincidence.

Easier just to shower, scrub well, and use deoderant. That is usually enough for the average person, just not heavy sweating people or people in very hot environments.

PSA: Also wash your clothes (without fabric softener) and stop buying polyester. Much of the "BO stink" is from sweating in polyester clothes and not washing them for a few more wears. Plastic doesn't absorb and dry out the bacteria so it is much much worse than cotton, linen, or wool. Also use vinegar as fabric softener, it doesn't smell after the final rinse cycle and it doesn't leave a waxy film on your clothes that keeps the bacteria nice and comfortable like formula softener.

Counterpoint, aluminum is bad for you, anti-persperaint is hard to clean off your body and cloths, humans are allowed to smell a little. As long as you're not smelling like a highschool gym and shower regularly and after exercise, a light application of deodorant should be plenty for the majority of adults.

Do you have any Asian genetics in your ancestory? There's a gene that causes you to not have BO, which is common in Asia.

My wife has the gene, although it's from her native American ancestry (either 1/4 or 1/8). We can go camping for a week and she'll maybe smell like sweat, while you can smell my BO from a mile away a few hours after showering and new deodorant.
