Use of deodorant is down among the young. Forty percent of 18 to 25 yo's aren't using the stuff. Bless their hearts for being so true to nature, but I'm not sure I'd want to share my office space with them all day long. A little BO goes a long way. Eeker

I've never been an antiperspirant user; I think it unwise to overrule one's bodily functions. But deodorant is basically just a mask to please the olfactory and I'm fine with that. These days I use my own homemade or some other baking soda-based product. They do a good job.

* My favorite deodorant is from L'Occitane called "Eau des Baux". OMG the scent is heavenly. Swoon. It's $$ and doesn't last long enough, but the smell is worth it.

I have been using a solid stone-like thing from the health food store, I think it was called Thai Stick (?) and it works, and lasts forever. Maybe if you had big perspiration problem, you might need something stronger.

If you take a shower daily and don't greatly exert yourself its not really necessary. But one should be vigilant.

I think consuming raw garlic (probably other bio-active foodstuffs too with a strong genetic interaction) are at least as potent as exercise in producing human pungency.

They do a lot of objectionable things: man buns, tongue piercings, tattoos, monstrous grizzly beards. So glad I am not of an age to date anyone that age. I'd have to become celibate.

Now get off my lawn.

Or live in a hot climate, where "exertion" may simply be walking from your car into the next air conditioned office.

Not a fan of BO.

Well, that's exertion then, isn't it?
