    As a woman, I just want to smell like trees with a bit of floral or musky undertones. My taste in scents is my butchest aesthetic

    I just look for solid gel over liquids or pastes and deodorant over antiperspirant, smell a few and go with what smells least offensive. Couldn’t tell you what any of them are called because even when they are supposed to smell like an actual smell they rarely actually smell like that thing, really.

        Antiperspirant tends to be the stuff that contains concerning heavy metals. You’re supposed to be able to sweat, it’s just the stinky part that sucks haha.

          Oh I still sweat. So don’t worry about that. Using deodorant I can still smell like a boar pen within an hour after use. Even if I’m just sitting at a desk with my eyes closed.

          You want me to use all the heavy metal antiperspirant I got.

            Anti-perspirants also ruin clothes. I guess the aluminum causes that? Either way it’s annoying to use. Killing the sweat bacteria with booze instead and having a nice fragrance on top of it works fine.

      Game changer for me. I always thought it was some hippy woowoo nonsense, but it actually works for me, and I’m physically active at work and sweat a lot. One stick lasts me for more than a year of daily use and I don’t smell like deodorant.

      It’s not an antiperspirant, however, so it’s not much help if you are worried about pit stains.

    The gender product grift is laughable. And yet people eat it up. I couldn’t believe the first time I saw these at almost 2x markup of regular unscented baby wipes:

        The best decision of my life. Have the one that’s hand held so its simple and easy to repair but I can never go back to just toilet paper, I just feel dirty.

      Yes but baby wipes are for ✨ ^baby bottoms^ ✨, while the XL wipes are for ASS.

      Never mind the probably small size difference or the fact you can use two.

    I stopped in a Walgreens the other week on a trip to vegas to get some spray-on deodorant. They had a dozen womens options, mens had 6 versions of degree, all locked inside containers so you couldn’t smell any. I ended up going with ‘white’. I would have loved some jet fuel options…

    I am a man and I chose my deodorant because to me it smells like fruit roll up. I’m not a shill, so if you’re curious, it’s this kind:

    I just get whatever is on sale that has an effective track record on my BO. Work with fluids and sweat all day so I can smell like an airplane or a shark or flower as long as I don’t smell like body funk I’m happy.
