So firstly, I don’t sweat a lot to begin with. I’ll go for a run and I’ll be at a mile before I feel sweat beading up. I’ll get a little clammy throughout the day, but rarely have whole body sweats. As a result, I have very low body odor. If I don’t shower, it’ll take several days before my significant other will notice.

But I don’t wear deoderant or antiperspirant. If I do, then its like the rest of my body decides it needs to sweat. Anyone else out there with this experience?

    Yeah this is what I imagine is going on with my body and hence the post. Never heard anyone else talk about it or seen a real source.

    For me, I feel like sweating from my pits localizes the smell and thus no one really smells it. Again, I barely sweat anyway. But when I do use antiperspirant (deodorant does the same but to a lesser extent), then I sweat everywhere and find it easier for people to smell and I just feel more gross.
