    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.

    You must be special! I shower twice a day and if it's really hot 3 times. If I don't put on dedeorant the pits get sticky and stinky! Just because you wash don't mean you don't stink.

    I have to go to Wal-Mart; lots of peeps in Wal-Mart don't use deodorant. OTOH, there are the old gals who douse themselves in perfume and still haven't bathed in days. Stinky of a different sort.

    Makes you wonder what they see when they look down in their underware?

    VIII, bathes and uses stuff under my pits that is of perscription strength--daily. I sniff before I leave the house.

    sweat in and of itself
    does not stink... but the
    bacteria living off the
    sweat metabolize it and
    it is their excretions that
    stink.... yep, bacteria poop

    that is why i use the
    "crystal"deodorant, as
    it serves to limit the growth
    of the offending bacteria by
    creating an unwelcoming
    environment....

    the "crystal"in crystal deodorants>>

    Ammonia alum, NH 4 Al(SO 4 ) 2 ยท12H 2 O, a white crystalline double sulfate of aluminium, is used in water purification, in vegetable glues, in porcelain cements, in natural deodorants

    It's the same idea to me though when I wash my clothes. I want them to SMELL clean when Im done. I could use the "rocks" or whatever natural thing they put in these days but I LIKE clean smelling laundry and that goes for SHAMPOO TOO!

    I used to work at a liberal arts college where a lot of the students were "natural" and vegans, smoked clove cigarettes, etc. I'd say 25 percent of them didn't wear any deodorant and a lot of the girls didn't shave anything either. They'd sit and talk and wear sleeveless clothes in warm weather and cross their arms back behind their necks. Those hairy, smelly pits. Ughhh! And orientation didn't matter, straight and gay both did this.

    I use Dove bodywash, Secret antiperspirant, and Obsession by Calvin Klein cologne. No hairy pits for me!

    No, Beks, I'm saying that humans have not yet evolved to the point where we have no armpit hair so we must compensate by shaving.

    Do you think people will be smelly in the New World? After all, there will be no factories to make commercial deodorants and everybody will be farmers, working in the fields under the sun all day.

    Ooooohhhhhh Evolution??? How does that compute? And didn't god in his wisdom put hair in your pits? Maybe there is a purpose as yet unknown to us?

    If you can come up with why god likes us gals to have hairy legs, I'll convert. I hate that procedure.

    Perhaps the excess hair (armpits, legs, moustache area) is to keep us warmer if we live in Northern climes??? But since we have climate control in our homes and other buildings now, it's no longer necessary.

    Besides, I've had men tell me that they wish women wouldn't shave their legs because their legs tend to be kinda rough and stubbly to the touch if they shave. Don't know if it's true and I shave anyway.

    That's two reasons. So, gonna convert now?
