I notice it less with men wearing cologne, but at the Co-Op I volunteer at I smell perfume very frequently. More than I'd expect. Is body odor a common problem based on your experience?
...what's wrong with just using deodorant?
Is it really that much of a crime to want to take are of yourself and smell nice?
Danielle, don't use the vinegar like a deodorant. Rinse your pits with it. Let it sit for a moment and then rinse it off with clean water. This will kill the bacteria living off your sweat (what actually stinks) and keep you smelling fresh all day (at least it works for me).It's hard to find a vegan deodorant that works well. I don't think it's worth supporting animal testing for body odor. I'd rather just be smelly, but I think apple cider vinegar helps me. Then I put some vegan deodorant on so I don't smell too much like vinegar
Oh ok thanksDanielle, don't use the vinegar like a deodorant. Rinse your pits with it. Let it sit for a moment and then rinse it off with clean water. This will kill the bacteria living off your sweat (what actually stinks) and keep you smelling fresh all day (at least it works for me).
I normally shower daily. I have a squeeze bottle (plastic ketchup dispenser - K-Mart 2 for .99¢) I keep on the shelf in my shower that I periodically fill with vinegar.
