I’m a trans woman so obviously a little different but Ive discovered I smell mostly the same whether I use deodorant or not so early this year I stopped. I usually shower at most every two or three days but sometimes won’t shower for the better part of a week.
While I don’t feel like I get more attention from men since quiting deodorant I’ve noticed the women are a lot more into me. Most recently a couple nights ago in Asheville at a Disco Biscuit after party I was aggressively getting hit on, danced on, grinded on, just pursued by this woman. I thought it was odd at one point when she ran her fingers through my armpit and sniffed them but maybe that was part of my sauce, idk. Never been told I was sexy by a stranger so many times in such a short period.
After all the increase in female attention I was getting this year I thought maybe women were just picking up on an increase in my confidence but I guess it could just be that I quit wearing deodorant. Would be on brand for Asheville.
people are kind of neurotic about sweat, assuming that it’s literally the sweat itself that smells bad.
But in reality the stink comes from bacteria that thrive in warm damp environments and find lots of nutrients in sweat, so you really only need deoderant if you’re gonna be spending a lot of time without any chance to dry off.
Also, pro tip: Get deoderant without perfume, it’s the best of both worlds.
