Do you use deoderant? (lemmy.ml)

I don't use deoderant; I don't feel the difference and I never really cared much about my smell; but my parent keeps bringing it up and it's annoying.

Also, what's wrong with smell? Human smells differ anyway.

It’s one of those things where I think it just boils down to being considerate of others, and realizing that using deodorant is a pretty small measure to take in order to prevent creating an unpleasant experience for other people.

Yeah. I forgot to add "(unless if the smell causes problems)" to my post.

^ If it's bothering your parents enough for them to bring it up and you presumably live with them, I guarantee you someone who doesn't live with you is going to be more bothered than your parents about the smell.

I'd recommend Mitchum Men's Clinical unscented deodorant. It's (obviously) unscented, and works very well (easily a full 24 hours). It's a little pricey but you only need one or two clicks on the dial to have more than enough per armpit.

Also, I'm not sure what your shower routine is like but half the reason I shower is just because it's an enjoyable experience away from people that I can just enjoy in silence. 10 minutes of bliss.
