Comment on What were the original antiperspirants before modern day ones?
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 10 months agoTo add to this, sweating was normal, and though there were various ways to deal with the smell of body odor, the rich mostly just caked on perfumes like a teenage boy discovering girls for the first time.
Other methods of keeping it in check include things like bathing and simply going nose-blind.

To add to this: sweating still is normal

you don’t burn off your pores? wierdo.
/jk. Guess my point was today we (western weirdos?) use antiperspirants like sweating like plebs is gross. Similarly, it’s rather normal to bathe after a workout or something where you were sweating. sweating is normal, sure. but we’re rather weird about it compared to back then.

It was only a slightly humoristic reply to your “sweating was normal” is all :)
