"24 hour odor protection" in deodorants.
"Deodorant" itself, it's just perfumes to mask the smell for a bit. What you want to prevent sweating is antiperspirant
By applying a chemical precipitant that clogs sweat pores and backs up sweat fluids under the skin.
Just bathe.
Just bathe in the middle of the workday in a place with no showers lol
Spoken like someone who lives in a cold dry climate. I could bake cookies inside of my car in the summertime, and it is regularly well above the safe wet bulb temperature for human tolerances, even in the shade. You walk outside, and it feels like you’re breathing hot swamp-flavored fog. Bathing alone isn’t enough in those circumstances, because you’ll be a sweaty mess by the time you get to work anyways. Bathing is important, but you also need something to stop the sweat from immediately making you stink again.
Some of us live in hot climates. Without deodorant, I stink bad enough to smell myself by around noon.
Maybe some people have problems with their pores, but most people don't. The hype and fear around antiperspirants is a bit overblown. As with everything, excess is never good but it's also not going to like, turn your sweat pores into little overinflated water-balloons ready to spray pit-juice on unsuspecting bystanders..
"Just bathing" is fine, for about an hour or two, some people have worse problems with BO and need more than a shower or bath to combat it all day long.
I hate public places because people just smell so bad. You should bathe more and clog the damn pores, you all reek
Edit// And yes I'm autistic and hyper sensitive to smells Edit2// oh yeah and wash your teeth and mouths as well, goddamn
