I have met people that say they don't use deodorant, because it irritates their skin. I use deodorant. Have you met anyone that says they can't use it and what do the use?

I do not use deordorant. Luckily, I do not sweat under my arms, I wash very well with soap and water, and that is all I need. I have used it, but I decided to discontinue using it. Sometimes, I develope cysts under my arms when I use deordorant, so I rather would eliminate the cysts than to use deordorant. It also depends on your body chemistry, some people have problems if they do use deordorant and others do not. I am one of the do not's

I do. But when I am just at home I don't use it. Some deodorants darkens my skin,but what's more important with me is the deodorant that will eliminates the foul odor when I'm sweating. I have tried different brands before but it didn't, suit my needs, but now I only use one brand and I stick to it because it really helps me eliminates bad odor.

I use deodorant as well. Although it took a while before I found one that won't irritate my skin. The first one I used was a roll-on (forgot the brand) and it was more liquid. It was good at first since it doesn't make me perspire that much. But then, after a few hours, it starts to get itchy and very uncomfortable. Then, I tried High Endurance (Old Spice) and it is the one I'm still using right now. It stays for a while even if I work out. Less perspiration and doesn't irritate my skin. Been using it for years now. There are some that I know of who doesn't use it though and no offense to them but there really are some days when it doesn't smell good. To be fair though, I have quite a lot of lady friends who do not use deodorant. Most probably they don't sweat a lot.

I don't use deodorant. Not because it irritates my skin, but rather, it makes me sweat a lot. I don't normally sweat very much but I use deodorant and suddenly I am sweating like I am in a steam room I use soap and hot water

There appears to be a chemical in the deodorants that makes my body sweat, so I don't use any. I rarely sweat anyways so it isn't a big deal. I use soap and water to clean my skin and I am done

I use both deodrant and perfume but like deodrant more. I have no such problem of irritating skin if I use deodrant.
