    Secret: just buy women’s deodorant for the odors, nobody is stopping you

      Can confirm, I do this for shampoo, conditioner and body wash too.

      I get to smell like fruit and shit instead of “pleasant chemicals”

        Now I really want to make Piperinol since it apparently smells really good. I just lack money, equipment and skill.

        Also I don’t know how legal that would be since it could be used as a MDMA precursor and even if it’s legal I don’t really want to get the house of my parents raided.

      I’m allergic to the scents in women’s deodorant. I get hives. I use a pleasant (imo) smelling old spice and it is great. Especially because I sweat a LOT.

        Are you sure it’s the scents and it’s deodorant, and not antiperspirant? I have trouble with antiperspirant but deodorant is fine.

      Exactly. Just go out on the ramp and check the fuel sumps and oil. There, now you’ll smell like 100LL and plane engine all day.

        I’ve seen and read enough credible evidence to suggest someone out there feels this way. Even if it is a joke, things like brushing and flossing and even washing your hands after using the bathroom are controversial for a ton of people. Marketing is real important for encouraging these people to be better.

        I literally know a guy at college who definitely was serious about the “washing ass is gay” thing.

        He didn’t keep a lot of friends. Or relationships…

      I use goat milk soap and I’ve been getting honeysuckle, lavender, prairie moss, dogwood, all kinds of flowery scents. I love studying botany and smelling these soaps reminds me of some of the local flowers around me. Never had any person accuse me of smelling like a woman or smelling “gay” lol, but I totally agree with your comment. I think real, normal people just like when you smell good, regardless of the scent. The “men should only wear turpentine-and-axel-grease-scented deodorants” Monday is only held in the minds of insecure looney tunes

    I hate those manly male scents for true men™ so much. I’ve now switched to odorless deodorant which is so much more expensive but it’s worth it. And when I want to smell nice, I use a perfume that actually smells nice.

    source
  • LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    I stopped using women’s antiperspirants because the scents would make my armpits break out in hives and it wouldn’t stop my ungodly sweat. I use some kind of old spice that’s a gel stick. Can’t remember the exact scent lol. It works great, especially for underboob sweat. The smell isn’t bad either. 10/10 would recommend for women who are super sweaty like me

    Unsented roll on, because the smells they add to make it smells good actually make you stink more towards the end of the day. The white powder ones ruin shirts and Clough pores.

      Lol, rose-scented shea butter, starch and baking soda deodorant all the way baby. You apply it once a day, twice at most, it moisturizes and nourishes your skin, lasts all day, there’s no plastic and you get to laugh in the face of fragile masculinity.

    There are a few Old Spice variants that I think are a bit fruit-forward and fresh and designed for men.

    I’ve never liked the super cologney scents - I like smelling sweet, so Fuji is a good one for me. Smells tropical and a bit fruity.

    Outside of that, Stone from Henry’s is another fave of mine. Not fruit, but it’s light and I think anyone could wear it.

    I like oats and alps. Duke cannon thick is nice too, and has names like “naval supremacy”, which is cheesy, but I don’t get too hung up on it.

    Old spice is off the rails though.

        Throw off the shackles of Big Deodorant. Girls don’t need it since our body odor is generally much lower, and it could potentially be unhealthy for us.

        Also, girl smell 🤤

    Cucumber scent is the shit. I’d take that over Mountain Spring any day

    • eager_eagle@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      so the other day I saw this liquid hand soap on sale and I got one of each color. I didn’t really read the scent since I’m not picky for hand soap, but after using it I got genuinely pissed it was cucumber. I’m sorry, but that’s horrible. After washing my hands it felt I spent the last our cutting cucumbers.

        So you bought something without reading the label, then got mad about it, and it’s their fault for making a scent you don’t like? 🤣

        Maybe the guy you’re responding to lives somewhere in East Asia? A lot of people there have a gene which makes them have no body odor. I can confirm from personal experience - my friend from Taiwan doesn’t even own deodorant and she never smells, even after hiking all day in hot weather.

    I use benzoyl peroxide facewash in my pits when I shower. I never smell like BO or anything else.

    Those brightly colored tubes of marketing they sell in the deodorant aisle probably don’t do what you think they do. This is because the mega conglomerates that sell this shit don’t care if their product works or not. What they sell you on is shame and poor body image.
