Indeed. Deodorant is often a better way to go (as long
as it is 'all natural' and natural in the way that it
is healthy for ya too, not natural bad stuff!) My rule
of thumb is: if it is perhaps unsafe to eat, I am not
putting it on/near my body... (I am a neurotic
ingredients reader)

Indeed, my partner doesnt wear any (he simply showers,
etc.) and I adore the smell...
Many of my male (and female) friends simply shave
their underarms... that gets rid of 90% of the odor...
and the rest is just lovely
