Why is there a surge of deodorant products mostly advertised to women in the US?

So I have balls and yeah they're the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I'm in a hurry and I don't smell much. That's with working a job that's usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn't bathe every day. I didn't notice much smell then.

Now I see these ads regularly that are like hey women you stink after 12 hrs 5/10. What's up?

As a guy one thing I notice - there's a difference in how good I dry my parts after showering. Things feel cleaner during the day if I manage to get all the moisture away but before hiding my best parts in underwear shortly after showering.

I have wondered many times (and here is the place people can answer) - am I the only one who uses the hairdryer on his balls after drying his hair? (When I do, I always have this "thank god nobody sees this" feeling)

I've heard people talking about old men blow drying their pubes at the gym but never seen it myself. Personally I shave that area so drying with a towel is fine.

Hair dryer on low setting plus balls is almost as good as hot sweaty balls and goldbond.

Both are 5/7 with rice

Absolutely! Gotta dry your junk well.

I tend to just use a towel and then stay naked for a while and let it happen gradually. But yeah, back when was still able to work, I would sometimes grab the hair dryer and get it done fast. I've had long hair since the eighties, so it was no big deal to add a minute or two of time to using it elsewhere too.
