do you not smell body odor or do you just get used to it?

Genuinely curious. I have met a few people of different walks of life that I could tell did not and I have always used it, so I’m just curious. I know there was a couple that stopped using it for around a year, and they said their body actually end up not perspiring as much as when they used antiperspirant, but I’d like to know other people’s experiences.

Antiperspirant made me stink more. I switched to non antiperspirant deodorant years ago and it seems to be the right product for me. I do run cooler than most and didn't sweat at all till I was 22.

And yes any sweat will eventually smell so daily showers are part of this routine.

I couldn't really get antiperspirant to work though, really. Always my underarms would smell at the end of the day, and my shirts as well. That doesn't happen anymore.

ETA: I think you have some bias at play here - you don't really know if the stinky people you meet are wearing antiperspirant, or if the good smelling people you meet aren't.
