As a woman & former gymnast, all of us would use Old Spice. Pure Sport has got your back over any crap women’s product.
Old spice also slides onto your skin really well so it’s never overly clumpy.
Dog that shit really don't come off either. I'll scrub the hell out of my armpits in the shower and guess what they smell like when I hop out? Yup...fucking deodorant. At least it does what it says it does. 10/10 just bought some more the other day.
Mine just added a whole other day it was awesome. One week I'm buying 48 hour protection the next week it's 72 hours. I'm like Hells yeah. Why not just make it for the whole week
It's kinda moronic that scents are even gendered, particularly soap. I'm fairly certain when I was a child, soap was just soap. Everyone in the family washed using the same soap.
In fact there is a soap I still use now that used to just be marketed as "deodorising" soap. Now it's "Men's ACTIVE 48H" soap. Still the same damn soap, but now exclusively for MEN.
So many things are pointlessly gendered because it makes more money.
I really couldn’t tell you, it just feels pleasant. I even have a little jingle on the subject I annoy my better half with when I get out of the shower.
For Christmas last year my wife got me some fancy tea tree shampoo. Oh boy its like an extra double dose of it and my whole scalp is tingly afterwards.
I'm nonbinary so I use secret clinical strength which is marketed as a woman's deodorant but is the most effective product I've ever used even compared to men's deodorant.
I once used my sister's shower gel and smelled like strawberry for an entire week. I didn't know, I was supposed to dilute it with water and emptied the entire 100ml bottle. Now my sister never invites me to her home.
So do you use an entire bottle of gel normally or.....? I'm wondering how "empty the bottle" seemed like the course of action, unless it was already low.
It was a 100ml-150ml concentrate that was supposed to be diluted in water before use. I tried finding the soap but couldn't. I opened the bottle I found on a shelf, and due to hard water in Bangalore, it produced lather but not much. I decided that it being capable of producing lather was enough to qualify as soap.
Girls just don't smell bad to me unless they're on like, day three no shower. A 4 day hike is the only place I've seen a girl get too smelly to bear being around, and she forgot pads or something. Incontinence issues notwithstanding I don't think I'm some scent weirdo for not minding incredibly mild BO given how obnoxious dudes smell even after some shower
“Incontinence issues” “forgot pads or something”
So she was incontinent, forgot her adult diapers, and was peeing her unwashed urine-soaked pants? Something isn’t adding up or you don’t know the definition of certain words.
It's a lot more common to have mild incontinence where you'll lose a few droplets after sneezing or similar, especially after pregnancy some women have the issue.
Unless they've changed the formula, I've heard only good things about Secret women's deodorant and antiperspirant.
Edit: I'm gonna tell my mom the internet appreciates and agrees with the wisdom she passed on to me as a teenage boy that Secret is the best.
I work outside and walk for hours and in between walking get into a 100-120 degree vehicle. Mens Degree is the shit. Most women’s deodorants have a lotion-ish feel and never seem to dry down so 10 minutes into your hot day you already have moist armpits.
Used Old spice in my teens. Tried Secret in my 20s and it worked better. I'd rather smell like berries than sawdust.
Finally upgraded to Davidoff Cool Water deodorant. Clean eating helps with BO, too
I swear by the prescription strength secret gel antiperspirant. You have to apply the gel and let it dry down BEFORE you put on a shirt otherwise you’re just coating your shirt and will sweat through and smell weird. I usually put on a bandeau or bra then apply the gel, then do my skin care routine, then put on the shirt.
Respectfully, this is not true. I'm a healthy and hygienic person and my sweat smells horrid. My husband is also a healthy and hygienic person and his sweat smells great. We are not all built the same! 😅
I think this might have to do with gender. I hate my sweat smell but my ex loved it. There are hormones and stuff excreted thru the pits (why men can tell women's from men's from nursing women's shirts apart) so that might have something to do with it?
Yeahh, I shower every day, wear clean clothes to bed and then again to work, wear deodorant and perfume, make sure my sheets are switched out at least every week, and still if I have to do stuff at work that will make me sweat I smell fucking horrible.
I'm going to regret having this in my comment history...
I don't shove my nose in their and rip a line of BO but I do enjoy my partners sweat, the way it mingles with the coppery smell of her hair is very much *her* and I appreciate the fond feelings it makes me feel.
I want scented, but not to smell from across the room.
Like why do they condense 7000 febreeze bottles into my deodorant sticks it's so obnoxious. If I apply it there's a 2 hour period where people don't want to be near me.
Fr women's deodorants are all 0% alcohol 0% aluminium, no wonder they don't work. Can I please have lavender 48h extreme girly flower pore clogging sweat killer 9000
Jokes apart: get one of those deo crystals. Pure aluminium chlorohydrate, those work wonders. Combine with nice smelling but non lasting deodorant, or even better, perfume.
Edit: I have been made aware that the crystal deodorants actually contain potassium alum (potassium aluminium sulfate), not aluminium chlorohydrate. My bad, but doesn't really change my point. Also: please use whatever you want and what works for you. I'm not really taking a passionate stance on what you should or shouldn't put under your arms.
Aluminum is for anti-antiperspirant not regular deodorant. Even though now they have started marketing regular deodorant as "Aluminum Free" it never really contained it anyways.
Aluminum is to stop sweat not fight or mask odor.
Aluminum may indirectly help with odor because less sweat means it’s less humid/less moisture under your arm which in turn means less odor causing bacteria growth.
Edit: Deodorants by themselves do not contain aluminum. Antiperspirants contain aluminum. Often they are sold as a combo in antiperspirant deodorants.
100% the person posting is probably using the wrong womens deodorant. The whole anti aluminum thing has resulted in lots of deodorants that don't work and people are wondering WHY modern deodorants don't work. They removed the active ingredients!!
I always thought I smelled bad and needed to get extra strength or medication level deodorant. I was really self-conscious about it and hated that all my shirts smelled permanently after a few wears despite treating the armpits with stain removers. Turns out all I needed was to stop using my all natural lavender extract 0 aluminum extra pink tax do nothing "deodorant" and switch to cheap anti sweat deodorant with aluminum. Fixed 100% of my problems. Guess I'll just get breast cancer from the aluminum and deal with that later.
Aluminum is the active ingredient in antiperspirants. Not deodorants. Aluminum helps stop sweat.
You can have deodorants that are also NOT antiperspirants. However, if you get a cheap or just crappy deodorant it’s basically just gonna be fragrance over stink.
OR if you sweat a lot, you’re probably better off with an antiperspirant (which also may or may not be a deodorant) because you might end up sweating off a deodorant or simply the highly humid environment under your arm creates a breeding ground for bacteria which causes the smell in the first place.
And so overall, if you’re a heavy sweater you’re probably looking at using a prescription/clinical strength antiperspirant or an antiperspirant deodorant combo. Otherwise, a good deodorant will probably work just fine especially if you’re not typically engaging in strenuous activity.
at least you have odorless variants or something tame. I don't want to smell like a 12 year old boy or a blazing sharknado 2000. My wife has an aloe vera deodorant and it's so nice!
edit: for some reason the consensus is that I *don't* use my wife's deodorant, while I in fact do so very much.
Unless I wear an actual antiperspirant I'm a mess. I get it that aluminum or whatever they use isn't good for me but I'll take my chances.
I've been using unscented Mitchum roll-on for the last several years.
Prior to that was a period using Old Spice products. I find that over time my body adapts and products become less effective. I need to change it up every so often.
Man.. there is a certain berry/fruity scent (I'm not sure exactly what it is), but it transports me back straight to high school. There was this strange spray that girls back then sprayed on themselves and man... pure nostalgia fuel.
Hey ladies, check out Old Spice. It's the girliest-smelling male deodorant. Despite the silly names like "Wolfthorn" or "Bearclaw" they smell like fruit smoothies.
My wife likes Wolfthorn.
I used to buy cheapish underware. would get chafe butt in summer on some of the hotter days. Switches to good quality underware and haven't ever had chafe again. Sure they are 30 bucks a part but also last 3 times longer as well.
If you ever happen to talk to a real, living, breathing woman, ask her about women's underwear. Cheap women's underwear can also be very uncomfortable and irritating. Not to mention cheap bra specifically are designed for torture and can break Geneva convention in 3 different ways.
>If you ever happen to talk to a real, living, breathing woman
Unfortunately, I had to skip the remaining paragraph because that got way unrealistic for my taste.
Less fabric and “structural” concerns and they go through them a lot faster than men. I have pairs that are still going strong 5 years later, my wife is constantly replacing hers.
They're not? I'm not that deep into women's underwear but for men's stuff, it mostly comes down to material and how its made. If you're wearing boxers, get knit boxers instead of woven. The price doesn't really have anything to do with whether it is soft or not. Soft and comfy underwear does worse with sweat and moisture. Most "performance" stuff which is marketed at men will be woven because for "performance" you're probably doing an exercise or sport so you need better moisture handling.
I'm the opposite, I'm a woman and I wear boxers because I was sick of having a perpetual wedgy, we're talking clit to crack northernly migration.
Also, women's underwear do not tend to cover upper legs. which makes no sense to me since we generally have thicker thighs that can rub. Since switching to boxers, I no longer have friction burn on my thighs after long walks and my groin ligaments are safe from being sawn in half like dental floss through a steel bar.
Same here. In all my life, I've never worn a single pair of women's underwear I'd call 'soft' or 'comfy'. One day I had to borrow a pair of my boyfriend's boxers whilst my underwear was in the wash from a period leak - instant game changer. I didn't need to douse my thighs in baby powder, no edges or seams rubbing my labia raw, my groin wasn't being strangled if I dared to sit in the wrong position...
I even find that pads stay in place better too, somehow. Honestly have no idea how I put up with women's undies for so long.
Really?
I always get the ladies ones. In my experience they always snell better and last way longer too.
But. Granted I am using these not during 'active' times. Just everyday activities.
I was always jealous of the nice smells women got for deodorant. Seems like Old Spice is doing those smells in their deodorants now, I know you can get stuff like lavender and shea
Once I ran out of deodorant, and had to borrow some from my wife at the time. From that experience, I can tell you that Secret is most definitely *not* "strong enough for a man".
This is true though. I haven't used women's deodorant in years, it just doesn't last. My soap and shampoo give me a feminine scent, and the ONLYFORMENMANSBEARDPAINMUSCLEALPHA deodorant is just the cherry on top, really.
I hate how mens smells are geared towards getting you laid or attracting the female gaze. Womens smells are literally just cucumbers, the faint smell of rose pedals, citrus.
So true. I went to buy some cologne the other day and I couldn't get over just how awful and pungent everything smelled. Ugh, it was even worse wearing it, I felt like I was going to puke the whole day.
I'd much rather smell like vanilla or citrus than fucking **SHITFACED UNCLE RANDY JUST SET HIMSELF ON FIRE AFTER BANGING A STRIPPER**
IDK lots of women's smells are intensely fruity, making them almost unusable for me. I have this leave-in conditioner for my beard that's actually a women's hair conditioner. It's the best. I've tried them all. Only problem is I smell like I fell into a peach yoghurt.
I have met countless women who say they smell, so they switched to men deodorant. It's always women I wouldn't expect too.
Women who seem so obsessed with looks etc. Then they let it drop that they think they reek and I'm like huh?!?
Dove is the only deodorant/antiperspirant that doesn't irritate my armpit. It also seems to hold up well without having the obnoxiously intense scents that men's deodorants tend to have. In my experience the stuff that doesn't last at all is like natural shea butter stuff. It may be nice to my armpit skin, but it's next to useless.
Beyond that kind of thing, there's not like a huge difference between the active ingredients in antiperspirants marketed more towards men vs women. Even scent-wise, there may be two extreme ends of the spectrum, but a ton of deodorants have scents that don't really feel stereotypical to a particular gender.
72H bulletproof fuckboy actionman protection

But does it come in flavors like MANANA! FIZZBITCH! and GUN!!
CAN ALSO BE USED AS SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER!
IT CAN ALSO BE USED AS TOOTHPASTE, SHOE SHINER, AND IT'S EDIBLE!
100% As a woman & former gymnast, all of us would use Old Spice. Pure Sport has got your back over any crap women’s product. Old spice also slides onto your skin really well so it’s never overly clumpy.
Sounds like one of those Terry Cruise Old Spice commercial. OLD SPICE IS TOO POWERFULL FOR THIS COMMERCIAL
Dog that shit really don't come off either. I'll scrub the hell out of my armpits in the shower and guess what they smell like when I hop out? Yup...fucking deodorant. At least it does what it says it does. 10/10 just bought some more the other day.
> HERE'S A TWELVE BACK FOR THREE DOLLARS! SPORT! shit, where? last i bought deodorant, it was like $7 a stick.
You forgot " USE TOO MUCH AND IT WILL TURN YOUR ARMPIT HAIR INTO A CHEETO FOR A MONTH!!"
WHY ARE YOU LICKING PITS?!
Hey don't kink shame me.
I enjoyed this
Old Spice comes in lavender and vanilla scents
Sheesh I use the 96 hour and it’s $8 for 2 😔
Mine just added a whole other day it was awesome. One week I'm buying 48 hour protection the next week it's 72 hours. I'm like Hells yeah. Why not just make it for the whole week
[удалено]
Stepping out of the shower smelling like an actual cake makes for the best 10 seconds, right until you remember you are getting ready for work.
Why does getting ready for work change anything?
Well, you don't want to get eaten.
Speak for yourself. If imma snack I need someone to take a bite.
I like the way you think
until HR steps in
To tap the first person out
I don’t think I’ve seen H.R. around the office before but if they want to jump in front of the line than I already like their energy.
I love smelling like cake so if you have recommendations please hmu
Smear cake over your skin.
I tried that, but it tends to smell like rancid milk rather than cake after a few hours!
Smear vegan cake over your skin.
Oh shit you're right
There is a brand called Cake Beauty and their products smell soooooooooooooooo yummy
You just need the right “men’s” soap. Guy was using lemon Original Source in the gym the other day and the showers smelt so goooood
God I found this honey/forest smell one like years ago that I haven't been able to find again. Shit changed my life.
I used to use a herbal essences shampoo that the discontinued and I’ve lived with that void for 20 years
I got kicked out of a chemist in the UK once for spending too long smelling all the shampoos. Nobody makes yummy bath stuff like the poms.
If there’s something to smell down an isle.. I would like a whiff of every scent.
It's kinda moronic that scents are even gendered, particularly soap. I'm fairly certain when I was a child, soap was just soap. Everyone in the family washed using the same soap. In fact there is a soap I still use now that used to just be marketed as "deodorising" soap. Now it's "Men's ACTIVE 48H" soap. Still the same damn soap, but now exclusively for MEN. So many things are pointlessly gendered because it makes more money.
Everyone used Ivory, Dial or Irish Spring.
I use the Mint & Tea Tree, very invigorating and tingly on freshly shaved balls.
I have always been interested to learn why some men like their balls cold and tingly. Just _why_?
I really couldn’t tell you, it just feels pleasant. I even have a little jingle on the subject I annoy my better half with when I get out of the shower.
The snowflake button makes it cold, cold, cold Set temperature makes it hold, hold, hold
For Christmas last year my wife got me some fancy tea tree shampoo. Oh boy its like an extra double dose of it and my whole scalp is tingly afterwards.
They used to have a super max strength mint one that I think has been discontinued. Only a real G could handle that tingle
I have a very sensitive nose. Any scented soaps, candles, shampoos, perfumes, etc give me headaches. No scents for me, thanks.
I'm nonbinary so I use secret clinical strength which is marketed as a woman's deodorant but is the most effective product I've ever used even compared to men's deodorant.
Don't you find that leaves a weird residue on your tops after a while? I think it's the silicones, doesn't come out in the wash.
Men's deodorant is better because it's 15 in one, can be used as shower gel, toothpaste or sauce
I used mine last week to replace the oil in my truck!
If you visit Minnesota or Canada in the winter, add a little beard oil to reduce viscosity.
I’m using mine to marinate chicken!
someone asked for a can of WD-40?
WD-40 smells so good. 🥰
In Britain you can get a WD40 equivalent called GT85. It is delightful. I’d 100% buy GT85 deodorant.
https://smellslikewd40.com
Lol
https://tenor.com/bbMam.gif
Men's shampoo is conditioner, body wash, shave cream and you can wash your truck with it.
Don't forget it can also be used as lube or as lip balm!
I use to treat my hemorrhoids!
It can also be used to remove thermal paste off a cpu on a PC.
It also works as a vehicle. I used to drive it to school back in the day.
I once used my sister's shower gel and smelled like strawberry for an entire week. I didn't know, I was supposed to dilute it with water and emptied the entire 100ml bottle. Now my sister never invites me to her home.
Username checks out.
Nooo I hope you bought her a new bottle lol
I didn't know where to find it and left for another city a day after
Moving to a new city seems like an overreaction.
Well, you don't know his sister
😅. I was living there already, just visiting her.
So do you use an entire bottle of gel normally or.....? I'm wondering how "empty the bottle" seemed like the course of action, unless it was already low.
It was a 100ml-150ml concentrate that was supposed to be diluted in water before use. I tried finding the soap but couldn't. I opened the bottle I found on a shelf, and due to hard water in Bangalore, it produced lather but not much. I decided that it being capable of producing lather was enough to qualify as soap.
In the shower? What are you supposed to dilute shower gel in? Is there a cup in there to mix in water? I'm so confused.
It's most likely a refill, so you put it in the original full-size bottle and dilute it
Ohhh. That makes more sense.
100ml is like hotel shampoo bottles, dinky little bottles edit: or those [TSA-approved travel bottles](https://i.imgur.com/bstxQn7.png)
The hotel ones are like 20ml.
Maybe I'm not using enough... but that is still more than I'd ever use for one shower. 😄
Flowers and BO is surprisingly attractive
Immortal words from Static X “Your ass smells like a rose “
Girls just don't smell bad to me unless they're on like, day three no shower. A 4 day hike is the only place I've seen a girl get too smelly to bear being around, and she forgot pads or something. Incontinence issues notwithstanding I don't think I'm some scent weirdo for not minding incredibly mild BO given how obnoxious dudes smell even after some shower
Dudes that smell obnoxious after a shower have never been taught to clean their pits.
Is there a secret? I’ve been using soap and water, but I kind of worked that out on my own
I’ll give you a hint - they didn’t figure that one out yet
Pheromones can make some people smell good/attractive and other reek.
“Incontinence issues” “forgot pads or something” So she was incontinent, forgot her adult diapers, and was peeing her unwashed urine-soaked pants? Something isn’t adding up or you don’t know the definition of certain words.
It's a lot more common to have mild incontinence where you'll lose a few droplets after sneezing or similar, especially after pregnancy some women have the issue.
Someone on the hike smelled like shit and made an excuse you can believe or not believe, I have no idea, did not check
Unless they've changed the formula, I've heard only good things about Secret women's deodorant and antiperspirant. Edit: I'm gonna tell my mom the internet appreciates and agrees with the wisdom she passed on to me as a teenage boy that Secret is the best.
Bet it can't mess with Degree 48hr protection
Yup, that Degree 72 hour stuff lasts like. 12 hours? So superior to most women’s deodorant.
My secret women's gel deodorant smells like lavender and can last up to 48 hours if I'm just going to work and back home. I work in retail right now.
I work outside and walk for hours and in between walking get into a 100-120 degree vehicle. Mens Degree is the shit. Most women’s deodorants have a lotion-ish feel and never seem to dry down so 10 minutes into your hot day you already have moist armpits.
The new Secret all over lotion deodorant works better than anything I have ever tried and it’s scent free.
Oooooh!
I'm a 41 year old man and use Secret deodorant. Shit is incredible.
Used Old spice in my teens. Tried Secret in my 20s and it worked better. I'd rather smell like berries than sawdust. Finally upgraded to Davidoff Cool Water deodorant. Clean eating helps with BO, too
whoa, Davidoff makes a deodorant? I will be buying that in the near future
Yeah it's like $15 for 1 but lasts me 1-2 years.
But what if I actually wanna smell like sawdust? That's like, only an arms length away from smelling like woodfire and Douglas fir
I swear by the prescription strength secret gel antiperspirant. You have to apply the gel and let it dry down BEFORE you put on a shirt otherwise you’re just coating your shirt and will sweat through and smell weird. I usually put on a bandeau or bra then apply the gel, then do my skin care routine, then put on the shirt.
Lavender armpit sweat scent is hot.
Is this a serious statement or facetious? Not judging, just curious if there are people out there that enjoy stinky lavender women.
If it's not a sharp smell like cheese, and it's that more "grown adult musk" smell...I'm people
Daily showered and hygienic people smell nice when they sweat.
Respectfully, this is not true. I'm a healthy and hygienic person and my sweat smells horrid. My husband is also a healthy and hygienic person and his sweat smells great. We are not all built the same! 😅
Have you ever read the study that suggests if you like how someone's BO smells, it means you're genetically compatible on some level?
I haven't! What i do know is that my husband thinks i stink and i work very hard to keep said stink at bay! Haha!
That's fair. I can't really admit to sniffing the armpits of anyone save people I have been intimate with so my sample size is sort of fucked.
I think this might have to do with gender. I hate my sweat smell but my ex loved it. There are hormones and stuff excreted thru the pits (why men can tell women's from men's from nursing women's shirts apart) so that might have something to do with it?
Yeahh, I shower every day, wear clean clothes to bed and then again to work, wear deodorant and perfume, make sure my sheets are switched out at least every week, and still if I have to do stuff at work that will make me sweat I smell fucking horrible.
There are definitely ppl out there
I'm going to regret having this in my comment history... I don't shove my nose in their and rip a line of BO but I do enjoy my partners sweat, the way it mingles with the coppery smell of her hair is very much *her* and I appreciate the fond feelings it makes me feel.
Definitely serious. I mean, there *are* limits, but some natural scent is how pheromones are transmitted.
I hate hate hate the smell of baby powder. So many women wear baby powder scented deodorant. Thats all I wanted to say.
I hate scented deodorant, period. Give me an unscented version that just stops me from smelling like armpits and I’m good.
Secret makes a whole body lotion that is scentless and works better than anything I’ve ever tried. May work for you.
I use sauber 7 days and it works great for 6 days in winter and 4/5 in summer
I want scented, but not to smell from across the room. Like why do they condense 7000 febreeze bottles into my deodorant sticks it's so obnoxious. If I apply it there's a 2 hour period where people don't want to be near me.
Damn. I'm a guy and I use babypowder deodorant because it doesn't smell like anything to me.

There's a dove one that's good. Green tea and cucumber

It was probably Victoria's Secret Strawberries and Champagne body spray.
There’s also a cotton candy one that was popular where I am.
ong same goes for shaving gel and razors💀 all of it is cheaper too
Seriously, fuck the Pink Tax.
If you be my icy fuck boy, I'll be your sweat stank slut
Jesus Christ what a sentence
Hey ladies, check out Old Spice. It's the girliest-smelling male deodorant. Despite the silly names like "Wolfthorn" or "Bearclaw" they smell like fruit smoothies. My wife likes Wolfthorn.
They also have a lavender one which I love
I'm a woman and I absolutely love wolfthorn. Best deodorant I've ever bought, it lasts so long too. Women's deodorant doesn't last an hour
There's even ones that don't hide it like "Gentleman Brown Sugar" that smells like a cozy cafe. Personal fav
Next question: Why is women's underwear so incredibly soft and comfy while I have to endure scratching and ballsack rash all day?
Because you buy the cheapest men's underwear
I used to buy cheapish underware. would get chafe butt in summer on some of the hotter days. Switches to good quality underware and haven't ever had chafe again. Sure they are 30 bucks a part but also last 3 times longer as well.
Same. Got even better when I stopped wearing synthetic underwear for non-sports
Then why is cheap women's underwear also soft and comfy?
just buy women’s underwear, problem solved
If you ever happen to talk to a real, living, breathing woman, ask her about women's underwear. Cheap women's underwear can also be very uncomfortable and irritating. Not to mention cheap bra specifically are designed for torture and can break Geneva convention in 3 different ways.
>If you ever happen to talk to a real, living, breathing woman Unfortunately, I had to skip the remaining paragraph because that got way unrealistic for my taste.
Real, living _and_ breathing? Unthinkable!
(Ich hab ne Zwiebel auf dem Kopf, ich bin ein Dööner) You're funny! Happy cake day!
One day, I believe you can do it. Happy cake day.
Less fabric and “structural” concerns and they go through them a lot faster than men. I have pairs that are still going strong 5 years later, my wife is constantly replacing hers.
They're not? I'm not that deep into women's underwear but for men's stuff, it mostly comes down to material and how its made. If you're wearing boxers, get knit boxers instead of woven. The price doesn't really have anything to do with whether it is soft or not. Soft and comfy underwear does worse with sweat and moisture. Most "performance" stuff which is marketed at men will be woven because for "performance" you're probably doing an exercise or sport so you need better moisture handling.
You mean granny pants or thongs? Thongs are so incredibly uncomfortable.
Bamboo underwear is great and reasonably priced.
I'm the opposite, I'm a woman and I wear boxers because I was sick of having a perpetual wedgy, we're talking clit to crack northernly migration. Also, women's underwear do not tend to cover upper legs. which makes no sense to me since we generally have thicker thighs that can rub. Since switching to boxers, I no longer have friction burn on my thighs after long walks and my groin ligaments are safe from being sawn in half like dental floss through a steel bar.
Same here. In all my life, I've never worn a single pair of women's underwear I'd call 'soft' or 'comfy'. One day I had to borrow a pair of my boyfriend's boxers whilst my underwear was in the wash from a period leak - instant game changer. I didn't need to douse my thighs in baby powder, no edges or seams rubbing my labia raw, my groin wasn't being strangled if I dared to sit in the wrong position... I even find that pads stay in place better too, somehow. Honestly have no idea how I put up with women's undies for so long.
Might I suggest stretchy cotton boxer briefs? They're my favorite type of underwear, and might be just what you need. Breathable, comfy, non-chafing.
Bamboo is the way forward. Once you go bamboo you wonder why it took you so long to discover them.

Deodorant, Antiperspirant, Two things. Sometimes together, Sometimes not.
This is the most relevant comment... Deodorant covers up a smell; antiperspirant clogs the pores to keep the smell from happening.
Icy fuck boy? Is that an axe body spray smell or?
Isn't it every axe body spray?
Old Spice Oasis. Your welcome.
My ex used to use men’s deodorant because she was very active and we lived in TX. Ladies’ deodorant just doesn’t last long enough.
Really? I always get the ladies ones. In my experience they always snell better and last way longer too. But. Granted I am using these not during 'active' times. Just everyday activities.
I was always jealous of the nice smells women got for deodorant. Seems like Old Spice is doing those smells in their deodorants now, I know you can get stuff like lavender and shea
Once I ran out of deodorant, and had to borrow some from my wife at the time. From that experience, I can tell you that Secret is most definitely *not* "strong enough for a man".
Bitches be stinky
It's called "pheromones" bro and we love it
Idk, just like shampoo I guess. If it says so on the bottle, we're good to go
This is true though. I haven't used women's deodorant in years, it just doesn't last. My soap and shampoo give me a feminine scent, and the ONLYFORMENMANSBEARDPAINMUSCLEALPHA deodorant is just the cherry on top, really.
I am going to be the outlier here, but the lavender and slight musk is fucking hypnotic if the person you’re smelling it on has your attraction.
I hate how mens smells are geared towards getting you laid or attracting the female gaze. Womens smells are literally just cucumbers, the faint smell of rose pedals, citrus.
So true. I went to buy some cologne the other day and I couldn't get over just how awful and pungent everything smelled. Ugh, it was even worse wearing it, I felt like I was going to puke the whole day. I'd much rather smell like vanilla or citrus than fucking **SHITFACED UNCLE RANDY JUST SET HIMSELF ON FIRE AFTER BANGING A STRIPPER**
IDK lots of women's smells are intensely fruity, making them almost unusable for me. I have this leave-in conditioner for my beard that's actually a women's hair conditioner. It's the best. I've tried them all. Only problem is I smell like I fell into a peach yoghurt.
Not all men's deodorants smell like that, not all women's deodorants last that long. I hate this generalization.
I have met countless women who say they smell, so they switched to men deodorant. It's always women I wouldn't expect too. Women who seem so obsessed with looks etc. Then they let it drop that they think they reek and I'm like huh?!?
Hilarious and honest. 😆
Wow another repost, nice!
Dove is the only deodorant/antiperspirant that doesn't irritate my armpit. It also seems to hold up well without having the obnoxiously intense scents that men's deodorants tend to have. In my experience the stuff that doesn't last at all is like natural shea butter stuff. It may be nice to my armpit skin, but it's next to useless. Beyond that kind of thing, there's not like a huge difference between the active ingredients in antiperspirants marketed more towards men vs women. Even scent-wise, there may be two extreme ends of the spectrum, but a ton of deodorants have scents that don't really feel stereotypical to a particular gender.
Looking at you, old spice bear glove :')
I can confirm men need more than icy fuck boy to get laid.
