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?

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.
