Full body deodorant


Good idea or unnecessary?

Not a week goes by that I don't see at least one advertisement for it and it's kind of insulting! I'm all for using it in armpits and I always have but it feels like they're passing judgment on the rest of my parts.

I've never heard of full body deodorant. I thought body wash in the shower usually covered that.

Although, I've met a few older men who really overdid it in the cologne/musk dept. You know the types; guys over 45 that you can smell 30 feet away? The ones who overdo it so bad you get woozy or want to faint when you get near them? Or you wonder why they smell like a combination of pepper and bug spray? It's worse if they lost their sense of smell due to age. Frankly, a cologne bath is not a substitute for a shower. In fact, one rule of perfumes/colognes of any kind that mom taught me was, only use a little bit, or it starts to stink, and honestly, in some cases, too much body sprays of any kind not only don't cover up the odor, they inadvertently enhance it! :O

I remember going to a church choir where the poor lady leading it demanded we be a "scent-free" choir because she was sensitive to strong smells, and when I took a look at some of the men in the Tenor Section, I could see why she would want that. Several of them looked like repeat offenders.

Completely agree. Putting on too much cologne or perfume can be overpowering and offensive to the nostrils.

Since I don't think I'm allowed to link to any actual products on here I would just advise Googling full body deodorants. These are actual deodorants to prevent body odor.

The customers they're catering to must have some serious stench issues, if they have to put that on all over after showering.

Or they're preying on people's insecurities to make a buck.

I've seen advertisers use junk science to trick people into buying their stuff, so this is right up snake oil alley.

It's about profit. A company wants to make a bigger profit, therefore they create a product and convince people that they need it through advertising.

I've been ignoring those body deodorant ads.

They're just as bad as like old YouTube ads.

Dr. Squatch was awful on YouTube a few years ago. They used humor, but had 5 min long ads about ball stink. So, if you weren't next to your phone, that ad would continue on and on.

It's annoying and unnecessary

Something one has had much success with....

A bit of Aloe Vera Gel

Not saying I know better than anyone else, but it seems to me a full body deodorant would be too much.

I put deodorant on my nuts once.

That was a bad idea.

reply

I use baby powder.

It was the early 90s, it was a roll-on.
