People that don’t wear antiperspirant… (lemm.ee)

do you not smell body odor or do you just get used to it?

Genuinely curious. I have met a few people of different walks of life that I could tell did not and I have always used it, so I’m just curious. I know there was a couple that stopped using it for around a year, and they said their body actually end up not perspiring as much as when they used antiperspirant, but I’d like to know other people’s experiences.

Holy crap, there’s a kid at work…he’s really ripe. He’ll leave a room and you can still smell him 5 minutes later. He literally takes your breath away. How can he not smell himself???

Ugh there was a guy like that at work. Indeed if he had walked by within 5min, you could tell as the pungence lingered in the air.

I make the distinction between Ripe and Stale.

Ripe can be fixed with deodorant. Stale just sticks to the air and ... oh god you can taste it.

I can see BO. I envision this putrid green cloud suspended in the air, winding around the path they had taken as they walked among aisles.

A sixth sense I never wanted :'(
