Had a woman in my pub once that had BO so bad it literally knocked the foam off a freshly poured pint.
I watched the usual pint of Kronenbourg fizz away, assisted by a sparkler bump pattern in the bottom of the glass ensuring a strong and persistent head, wither away to nothing.. it was a metaphor for life that I’ve never forgotten
How do you define natural deodorant? I don’t use the name brands because to me they Absolutly stink like chemicals. My dad used to wear stuff like that and couldn’t stand it
Ah, the natural deodorant hippy brigade. They’re like human compost heaps, convinced their armpits are ‘detoxing’ when really they’re just fermenting a cider even tramps would refuse.
They’ll claim what they’re doing is cruelty free….my arse, everyone within sniffing distance is a victim.
Natural deodorant’s have never worked for me other than Salt of the Earth or other fragrance free salt blocks. anything else “natural” and I stink.
Salt is a natural anti-bacterial (and it’s bacteria that makes you stink, not the sweat itself). So long as i use the salt sticks whilst I am still wet, straight from the shower, then it will last me all day.
If I am using any other non natural deodorant then I look for one without aluminium in it as not only does it cause crusty armpits on my clothes, it also clogs the pores and stops you from sweating naturally, which isn’t really a good thing.
As for Fussy, Wild and all of the other natural deodorants other than pure salt and antibacterial, if you are wearing them, thinking that they are working, the chances are that you do indeed smell.
Natural deodorant could also in some senses mean an deodorant made out of natural herbs and such. For example, in the United States there is a brand called ‘Native’ that says its an all natural deodorant.
I don’t like natural deodorants either as a heavy sweater since you’re likely going to smell, especially in the summer however some of us are allergic to aluminum and that’s what prevents you from sweating and no sweat = no smell, I’m pretty sure however when I use standard deodorants my skin starts peeling and oozing and that’s also disgusting, so I’m in between a rock and a hard place. lol. – already been to a derm too for it.
Not a man but I used to do the natural deodorant stuff. Not sure if I smelled but it was more oily and I didn’t like staining my clothes plus as bad as they said antiperspirants were, I don’t like wet armpits. My mom however loved my natural deodorant and used it for years after I quit and I never smelled her. A big sweaty man though… way more risky.
When I met my ex she used “natural deodorant”… it wasn’t more than a month in before I was like hey, you smell really awful when you sweat, which is often.
She actually goes “yeahhh, some of my students will call me ms onion some days”.. what?!?
She started using native brand deodorant and it was a night and day difference. I say this is a generally crunchy hippy type dude with a high tolerance for uh, hippy stuff.
My ex is chemically sensitive and would get sick when I wore conventional deodorant, so dealt with this problem for a while. I even had HR approach me once.
If you’re in the same boat, Schmidt’s charcoal and magnesium is the best one I’ve ever used, not even talking about natural, just the best period. People complement my smell and ask what cologne im wearing, and it doesn’t feel slimy. Just make sure you’re not sensitive to baking soda based. It even works as an antiperspirant for me.
I use a natural charcoal deodorant and it works well. I’ve used other natural deodorants in the past and they haven’t worked well, so I went back to conventional. But the charcoal seems to do a good job.
It’s not french, since that would be J’utilise un déodorant naturel
As for the question, there’s loads of natural alternatives for deodorant. Aloe vera, coconut oil or baking soda just to name a few.
Not that deodorant is unnatural or anything, but there’s plenty of people who are allergic to it or sensitive towards alcohol, so there’s plenty of room to give people the benefit of doubt. If they stink, it’ll be apparent right away anyway.

I don’t use any deodorant at all and I smell fine. I shower and wash my clothes every day.

I believe that’s Liberal more than French..
It also goes hand in hand with letting hair grow wild in places it shouldn’t.

Every single time I’ve tried any brand of natural deodorant my armpits smell worse than if I wasn’t using any. It has to be a scam.
Yea .i was army for 8 years the only dudes that stink are the ones scared to shower after pt or the ones that lie about showering .

I don’t wear deodorant/have never worn and smell fine, its mostly genetic, some people just stink more than others.
I dunno, man. I use a salt block and have zero BO. But it’s certainly not gonna work for everyone. Bodies be crazy.
Nope, still English.
