    I just look for solid gel over liquids or pastes and deodorant over antiperspirant, smell a few and go with what smells least offensive. Couldn’t tell you what any of them are called because even when they are supposed to smell like an actual smell they rarely actually smell like that thing, really.

        Antiperspirant tends to be the stuff that contains concerning heavy metals. You’re supposed to be able to sweat, it’s just the stinky part that sucks haha.

          Oh I still sweat. So don’t worry about that. Using deodorant I can still smell like a boar pen within an hour after use. Even if I’m just sitting at a desk with my eyes closed.

          You want me to use all the heavy metal antiperspirant I got.

            Anti-perspirants also ruin clothes. I guess the aluminum causes that? Either way it’s annoying to use. Killing the sweat bacteria with booze instead and having a nice fragrance on top of it works fine.
