    Third PSA: deodorant smells fucking awful. I would rather smell your natural stink, though I’d most prefer if you just bathed regularly.

    Fourth PSA: your surface microbiome can be cultivated through diet and washing habits. If you have a healthy lifestyle, your pit stink will be mild even when you’ve been exercising. (However, your microbiome is inherited from your parents, so if they were disgusting, you might need probiotics)

      I used to be able to skip antiperspirant and just use non-scented deodorant.

      And then I birthed a kid. My hormone balance has never been the same and I stink more. Deodorant is a necessity now.

      People are different and need different levels of hygiene control.

          I actually just don’t go to the office anymore but basically the temperature most people find comfortable is hot for me and also I get sweaty walking. I’m built for a nordic winter.

          At home I can keep temperatures comfier for myself, prefer about 18 indoors.
