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?

Your balls start to smell first? Wonder why. Inadequate wiping? My armpits will start to go musky after about 4 days in the same clothes. That's my first thing to go. 🤷‍♂️

My armpits will start to go musky after about 4 days in the same clothes

Why the fuck are you wearing the same clothes for 4 fucking days? The only profession in which that is remotely acceptable is if you're on the front fucking line of a warzone, fighting for your life.

Relax bud. I sit still most days. Web developer. Half the week I work from home. Usually wear the same clothes for about a week. Not socks or underwear though, change those almost every day. T-shirt normally change after 2-3 days. 👍 Shower about 2-3 times per week. I use Aleppo soap. It keeps you clean for much longer, too.

lol, so worked up about it, too. You okay?

The guy who suggested I don't wipe my ass properly everyone!

Wow, you're ganging up on me, too?

It wasn't like I was accusing you, I was just curious.

Cuz you're fucking disgusting go shower.

Fucking mtg players

I was not talking to you. Go away, troll. Go back to Reddit. Blocked.

As someone who also works from home as a software Dev, shower more often and change shirts more often. You stink.

Another one who can't grasp the fact that bodies are different. I expected more from a fellow dev. Shame. 🫤

You do realize I shower more often than 4 days, right? That's what I've been saying all over this thread, that after 4 days is when I do start to stink a little bit. 👍

Nah breh ive worked with people like you too often. Theres always one on the team that fuckin stinks because they think "bodies are different". Thank god I work remote so I never have to sit by people like you ever again.

Keep talking to me like you've met me before...

I don't stink. I shower way before I start to stink. I told you, all of you, I start to stink a little bit at day 4, but I shower about every other day, at the gym twice a week and at home during the weekend. It all amounts to no hygiene issues. I am also very thorough with my junk after peeing and no. 2. I wipe with paper and wash with water if I can't get it perfectly clean. You don't know shit about my hygiene so leave me alone. Prejudiced jerk.

You guys are wiping your balls? You must suck at shitting

You don't stand on all fours while shitting? No wonder your balls aren't getting a share of that shit.

After 4 days

My guys, you should get that smell test sanity checked

You don't produce as much oil when you shower less which is what the smelliest bacteria consume.

Exactly. I started showering less often but with more naturally oily soaps (Aleppo soap mainly) and I don't need to shower as often since a few years back now. Feels much better. Less stress, better hygiene, no such problems, no itching anywhere, no nothing.

Must not live in a very humid area, 4 days wouldn’t fly here for anyone that goes outside at all

Humid or or not I find 4 is doable but 3 is more ideal but only if I don't do any strenuous activity. If I do then I pretty much like to shower it all off.

And this is exactly what is happening with me. I don't actually wait until 4 days, because if I do I start to smell. People in this thread are confused about that and down voting according to their confusion lol.

I actually do sunday and wednesday nights so go the four but its the end of the weekend when I can sorta afford it. Its not like I stink to high heaven. I can just sorta tell that really 3 is the sweet spot.

Exactly the same for me. 👍 Apart from the days of the week. 🙂

basically im prioritizing work week even though its remote and figure sunday I don't often go out except in realtion to holidays.

Seems reasonable.

I usually shower after I play badminton twice a week, then Saturday on the third second day after the last badminton of the week. It's perfect. I never feel dirty.

Yeah any type of significant extertion and gotta clean up and also special events and such.

You get it. Most other people in this thread are being absolutely ridiculous morons (and very rude, too). I lost faith in the Lemmy community with this thread, seriously. Bunch of prejudiced assholes who won't listen to what is being said. They don't know me. Never met me. Seem to think they know more about me than I know about myself, when they've never ever met me before, or even seen what I look like. That's some low-IQ shit. Very frustrating. It's Reddit again.

I can tell when I do smell. I can also sense my deodorant until I start to smell. So nothing wrong with my sense of smell. It's actually quite sensitive. I'm just very clean, I suppose. I don't sweat much when I move a lot. 🤷‍♂️

I'm 40 years old and my balls are quite long. Different body bacteria maybe? I shower after I shit so it's got nothing to do with wiping.

I shower after I shit

Like, a bidet? Or a full-blown no-clothes shower?

Yeah…tell us. Do you take your clothes off? Describe it. Like, slow. In a whisper.

I uh... slip my pants down and uhh.

Nah I am very regular and it's rare for me not to take a FULLY NAKED FULL BODY shower shortly after I shit.

Well “regular” is relative. And you don’t sound regular. You sound very ir -regular. In that it’s normal for you to shower after you shit. (Jk I knew what you meant).

Why don’t you get a bidet? You’d save so much water.

Research 😏

Yeah, measure how long your balls are and share

Depends, in all honesty. Temperature and how late I am into exercise e.g. Anywhere from 3-7 cm maybe?

That must be weird at work, or do you leave and come back?

If I have to shit at work I must be sick. I haven't shit at work in years. I shit once a day in the morning. I eat a lot of fiber.

Wow. I'm envious. I shit like three-four times a day (morning after waking up, possibly after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner). And I don't eat a lot of fiber. 😭 At least it's a proper texture, otherwise my asshole would be in trouble.

😂 bro, didn't even think about that. They probably don't, eh.

Edit: I meant they probably don't poo at work. Not that they don't work.

I have a really good sense of smell; trust me, you smell after one day and just can’t smell it yourself until day four. I’m sorry if this comes as a surprise.

Asked my friend today if I smell, a day after I showered. And I did some pretty rigorous activities today as well. They agreed to smell me, but said I don't smell.

What now? Trust your smell, when you have never smelled me? You're just as full of shit as everyone in this thread replying to me. Not because I'm saying you don't have a good sense of smell. I bet you do, and I bet you can smell people who do smell bad. But I don't smell bad. Deal with it. I'm really starting to think it's a jealousy thing here. People can't accept that I have good hygiene for some absolutely fucking absurd reason.
