Dial soap works the best.
Aren't we glad we use it?
Don't we wish everybody did?

Why do some people never use deodorants?

I used to date a JW man who never used deodorant. He was fine until we did something physical like riding bikes then it was just awful. His thought was that a "good honest sweat" doesnt smell bad, only "natural". Natural if you are a NEANDERTHAL. Ugh...I wonder if he thought deer urine was a good cologne??
He also only used baking soda to brush his teeth with. Im sorry but that DOESNT cut it.
But the FIRST JW I ever dated...the one who brought me in...BRAGGED that he never brushed his teeth ever and never went to the dentist. Somehow in his twisted head, because he didnt GO to the dentist that meant he didnt have any cavities?? How would he KNOW if he did besides his teeth falling out?? He chewed a LOAD of gum that one. I was totally grossed out after he announced that with GREAT pride I might add. Kissing? Done baby.
I also used to have to ride two different buses to get to work in Chicago in 1980 and the one that ran through the Polish neighborhoods in the summer time just about KILLED ME. Seriously people...its the 21st century. There is no excuse for smelling like road kill.

Cuz some people don't need it.
I've never in my life used deoderant, just being clean works fine for me.
That must be wonderful.
I live in the Deep South. High temps, high humidity. Without deodorant, poor LWT stinks to High Heaven.
I prefer Sure sticks. It allows me to retain my wife, my friends and my job.

Either because they never interact with anyone else or they just plain stink.

My own personal scent is like a spring bouquet. I have to run around the block a couple of times to activate it.

Knew a guy who was a football player in college. He was convinced that *real* men didn't wear deodorant. When he realized that *real* women didn't date men who didn't wear deodorant, he started.
edited to add:
My mom doesn't wear deodorant. She is convinced that she doesn't smell. I can't get it through her head that, indeed, she does. She has been smelling it so long she just doesn't smell it. When one hugs her--UGH!!!

Precisely.
If NOBODY wears deodorant, then nobody has a problem.
If EVERYBODY wears deodorant, then nobody has a problem.
It's only when people of both persuasions intermingle, that an issue arises.
Summary: If you stink, you won't notice the stink of others.
