Ode to deodorant

[Ambergris]

I was wondering about coldplayer's personal cleanliness habits... Particulary the frequency of deodorant use.

 

The poll is private. :cheesy: so don't restrain yourself from voting or even commenting.

[Reilly]

Uhm, what?!

 

Everyday, often twice, would be surprised if that doesn't win by a lot of votes.

[Ambergris]

I don't in days when I stay home.

[hotdensestate]

Usually when I leave the house, too lazy usually to use when I'm at home. I don't really get BO when I'm at home either, or really very often at all...

[Lore]

everyday sometimes more than once, specially now in summer

There was a time when my mother used corn starch instead of deodorant, because she once did read an e-mail stating that some deodorant chemicals could cause breast cancer.

 

I don't think that worked for her. She now uses what she calls a really mild deodorant with no harmful chemicals. :dozey:

The aluminum that's used as an antipersperant in most deodorants is linked to Alzheimers, it may have been that?

Yo're right, what is known as aluminium chlorohydrate (a mixture of aluminium salts) virtually found in every deodorant... From what I know, Aluminium is a neurotox metal and according to wiki the chronic exposure to it might be linked to Alzheimer and breast cancer. :surprised:

[hotdensestate]

Yea, I use natural deodorant, which doesn't really do that much haha.

 

What's actually a really effective natural deodorant is lemon/lime juice, sounds weird but the citric acid kills the bacteria on your skin really effectively, I use that sometimes.

[Ambergris]

So I'll definitely try lemon juice mixed with corn starch. Hahah. :smug:

[NumbersGirl]

aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly FTW

[a_face_of_light]

Every day.

[the_gloaming09]

I'd say pretty much every day. Out of a given year there might be a handful of times I won't, just because I'm at home or something.

everyday

[eff-exx]

I heard it's not good to use it always. :anxious:

[EmmaLouiseSmyth]

I try to use it everyday :thinking: it's not the hardest of tasks really.

[Imke]

I use it every day, yes. :thinking:

 

I knew a girl who rarely showered and used no deodorant and no, her natural fragrance was not loveable. :freak:

[Prince Myshkin]

Every day.

[rudy_o]

Twice per day.

[Prince Myshkin]

Well, I should have said after every shower. That would be more accurate.

[eff-exx]

You don't shower everyday? :uhoh:

[Cyan Kat]

Depends how sweaty I am :sick:

but usually once a day

[an angel]

Everyday.

[Prince Myshkin]

You don't shower everyday? :uhoh:

 

I sometimes shower more than once a day. That was what I meant.

But now that I think of it, sometimes when I wake up hungover at the weekend and I don't leave the house I don't have a shower. It's quite rare though, like once a month.

Phew.

How can people not shower at least once a day? :wreck: I normally take a shower before I start my day.
