Deodorant....but there was a period of time in my life when deodorant would not do the job and I had to use antiperspirant and sometimes that would not work so well. But that was like 40 or so years ago.

Antiperspirant just makes me sweat more and defeats the whole purpose of deodorant.

Both cause rashes for me. I use baby powder.

Anti-depressant.

Odor is caused by bacterial decomposition of perspiration. If you use an anti-perspirant, and it works for you, then you don't need a deodorant.

The problem with Antiperspirant is that it usually contains aluminum.

This is just my own theory but it's my belief that Antiperspirant is linked to breast cancer. Women shave their hair and this chemical gets absorbed easily into the body very close to where breast cancer starts.

If you use Antiperspirant, you may want to use one that doesn't contain aluminum but it's not that easy to find.

Cologne/Perfume just covers the stank. Usually by burning your sinuses.

didn't mean to post it twice, but maybe it needed to be said twice.

Take away the question mark after both and put an exclamation mark.

I feel like we evolved to sweat for a fairly good reason. I just don't want my sweat (or the bacteria decomposing it (see above) to burn anyone else's sinuses. Deodorize me.

Some people sweat too much, far more than the body needs to cool itself. Having soaked circles under your arms and a triangle over your chest and back isn't just embarassing... it can cost you a promotion or snuff out a budding romance. Folks like this need both, especially if they work in an environment where management is stingy with the AC.
