    I stopped wearing deodorant a few years ago. Clean clothes and showering. I do get funky after being soaked in sweat for hours so maybe if I worked in a kitchen right next to people that’d be a different story

      Do you have any Asian genetics in your ancestory? There’s a gene that causes you to not have BO, which is common in Asia.

      My wife has the gene, although it’s from her native American ancestry (either 1/4 or 1/8). We can go camping for a week and she’ll maybe smell like sweat, while you can smell my BO from a mile away a few hours after showering and new deodorant.
