Do you use deodorants? Don’t you worry that you’re spraying lots of aluminium into your body?

    I haven't used deodorants for 35 years. Also, aluminium cannot penetrate human skin. Unless it is a sharp object, of course.

    I thought it gets into the sweat glands to stop you from sweating

    It does...but only the pores. It won't fully penetrate the skin.

    I use deodorant and antiperspirant.  I work in the heat so in summer time I have use spray. I use roll on in the winter. 
    I am  not worried about anything in the spray....I just like the scents better in the roll on kind.

    Don't know about health concerns, though I'm keeping it simple anyhow. For me the main reason is I find it ridiculous how people exaggerate a little bit of body odor; I'm generally sensitive to smells yet I'd rather sense some light sweating than chemicals that can make me go into a coughing fit. Plus I like it just fine when such individuals keep their distance from me.

    There was a kid in school that nobody would sit next to because he had body odour. I didn’t mind because he was good at maths and I use to copy his work

    One of my men in the Navy had an odd problem. He would shower, apply deodorant and two hours later he smelled like a goat. And our shop was temperature controlled and the work was not physical.

    Great answer. Also, I like the smell of a woman.

    need to get her scent or I won't trust that she is in fact a woman. It also allows me to gauge her true age (the only way to know without resorting to pickpocketing) and hormonal levels. Deodorant confuses me like when a dog goes around a newcomer in the park only to find another head and no butt. DEODORANT IS ANIMAL ABUSE.

    Haha that’s funny! You think you could guess the correct age of a woman just from her smell if you were blindfolded? This post was edited by Gypsyking at June 10, 2018 12:21 PM MDT

    I once guessed wrong, and that's when my nose gained the ability. Not just her age; with a proper sample I can tell you how many steps lead out of her home and what good she'd be in a catfight.

  • Yes, I use deodorant. I've never been particularly odorous, but I will notice it after exercise if I don't use deodorant. And I can't stand being around people with noticeable B.O.

    And there are naturally-derived deodorants available that don't contain aluminum, like those made by Every Man Jack.  This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at June 10, 2018 10:34 AM MDT

    I can't use it; I have become allergic to it.  I just use alcohol............really a much better plan that deodorants and antiperspirants.   Cheap too!
