Yep, I decided it was time for a non-stink thread on NS, so the natural option was a deoderant thread. Yep, a deoderant thread. So, here's what I'm going to do, I'm going to post a poll about what general type of deoderant you use, and you can go into greater detail about the brand and stuff. Hokay? Good.

Old Spice Red Zone Metallic Ice.

Me, Dry Idea, unscented liquid.

Roll-on

I don't have armpits, so I can't really see the value in purchasing anti-persperant!

Adidas stick deodorant. Why was the Myrth option left off this thread?

I don't use a deodorant. Oddly, when I sweat, unless I've eaten a tremendous amount of garlic, there isn't a detectable odor.

I've had this verified by numerous women, by people in the Army, and at the gym.

There's a lot of sweat, but no odor. I don't get the instant odor that I smell on other people.

Still have to take a bath at the end of the day though.

Imagine rubbing Myrth under your armpits. He's not a very good choice for deoderant.

degree. you know, for when life turns up the heat. or maybe that is Hell, reminding me.... have to think about that one

That's a lot of expensive deoderant...

I don't believe in using deodorant.
Sweat is natural and we should let it flow just as our forefathers did.
See, the way I see it, all these relationship problems we're faced with nowadays can ultimately be traced back to using deodorant.
Let me elaborate this ingenious theory: In some highly interesting biological/psychological way we can unconsciously tell whether we like another person or not. Now, deodorant, as we all know (or so I hope) is used to hide our own very distinctive perfume (a.k.a. sweat) and thus to trick others into liking us. However, we cannot fool out psyche for very long and sooner or later the deodorant-tricked couple figures out that they were never meant to be together.
'Tis why I ask each and every one of you to support my deodorant ban, so we can find(/smell?) our one true partner without deodorant-distraction.

So please explain why I don't need to use it, and I (and others) find that my body odor is non-existent?

Funny. Women seem to like the fact that I can get sweaty and not stink.

yeah, right, that's what they tell you. but really they're just very odor-confused themselves. they don't know what to think when they stumble upon a de-odorized person.

I have heard cases of people who don't stink when they sweat, it is possible. It could also be possible that their sweat glands are too lazy to produce the odor they're supposed to be producing.

.....either one

They had trouble tracking me with dogs in the Army during exercises. Most of the dogs couldn't smell me.

You know...i do believe that non-sweatiness is an advantage...just imagine all the time you save not having to do laundry! :p

It's not that I don't sweat - I can sweat in torrents. It just doesn't have any smell.

I have to go more than a day without bathing before there's the slightest odor.

i think that's very cool. though way back in the day you would've been an outcast. ...nobody could've smelled you, so they couldn't have determined whether they liked you or not.

deoderant smells good...

I use either Pierre Cardin deodorant stick or Brut anti-persperant followed by Lynx spray. So I use an anti-persperant followed by deodorant.

Because you have no soul.


On a (slightly) more serious note, I use the same deodorant as drunk commies (coincidence?).

Did anyone else know that there is a correlation between the active ingredient in deoderant (aluminum zirconium or something) and alzheimer's?

I use Secret Platinum Clear Gel, in the mystic rain scent. It works good enough for me. But I am not that active, lol.

However, I really wish they made it in the shower fresh scent. That was my favorite.

Clear stick, usually one of the Old Spice ones, I forget which specific kind. Axe is nasty shit though. The only people I've known who used it hardly every bathed, and just drenched themselves in Axe, which smells pretty nasty itself. The other day someone in one of my classes was wearing a whole bunch of Axe, and I started to feel sick because of the smell.

This is actually quite original. :) For once, a thread that isn't about guns, God, gays, Bush, etc.

As for me, I picked the second-to-last option.

I use PowerStick. Some kind of Action Scent shit.

More interesting; What cologne do you prefer? I wear Drakkar Noir.

The only time I ever wear cologne is when I need to cover up the smell of weed. :P

Christ, I hear ya. You know what the "Axe Effect" is?
Women rolling their eyes cuz you're too cheap to buy real men's cologne.
Skip the Axe and just wear deo dudes.

I have a friend in Japan and she says they dont even sell deodorant there. Talk about a culture shock! lol
But her family still sends some to her.
