    Who the hell is buying all this 48h deodorant? I do not understand. Are there that many people out there that don’t get a chance to re apply or take a shower and wash it off anyway within 24h? The 48h deodorant craze has me really worried about what’s happening to work life balance in the US. Is 48h deodorant as popular in other countries? Or are there people that are just like, Oh, twice as many chemicals as I need? Sounds great! Let me put that on my body right near my axillary lymph nodes every 24h just for shits??

      i get the antiperspirant deodorant with the most aluminum salts, and it happens to be 96h. I don’t know if it truly holds for 96h because I shower daily and I also know that aluminum salts might contribute to issues later in life (or at least there used to be lots of scary headlines about aluminum salts and cancer, but that seems to have subsided a bit and nowadays the consensus is that they’re not an issue, at least without a causal link), but I truly hate the feel of sweat on my skin. Aluminum salts block the sweat glands so sweat can’t come out, and they’re truly effective.

        I used to buy only antiperspirant until I was out on a very hot day for about 4 hours and got heat rashes on both armpits from the sweat trying to get out but being unable to. Apparently that’s not a great thing. Rash lasted for like 3 weeks too. So just be careful when you use antiperspirant.
