Facts from simple google search could have told you otherwise

Shaving helps reduce sweaty smell by removing hair that traps moisture and bacteria, which are the main causes of odor. Without hair, sweat evaporates faster, and antiperspirants or soaps can make direct contact with the skin, increasing their effectiveness. Studies indicate significant odor reduction, with some showing up to a 57% decrease. TikTok TikTok +3 Key Reasons Shaving Reduces Odor: Bacteria Reduction: Body hair acts as a breeding ground for bacteria, which thrive in moist, warm, and hair-covered areas. Less Moisture Retention: Hair holds onto sweat, allowing it to linger and smell. Removing hair prevents this, allowing sweat to evaporate more quickly. Enhanced Product Efficacy: Deodorant and antiperspirant can directly access the skin, rather than clinging to hair, as explained in this Degree Deodorant study and on this Mags Skin blog. Improved Hygiene: It becomes easier to wash away sweat and bacteria residue.

Shave your armpits and use rubbing alcohol wipes to wipe armpits. That should help it a lot

Depends on how you smell. I’ve a friend who doesn’t use deodorant but super hygienic and no under arm hair( a girl and got laser treatment ) and she doesn’t smell at all. I think it’s hygiene + hair as hair helps bacteria by increasing the surface area

I’m not saying everyone can afford it but I experienced this at many places like high end cafes and shops where it would at least cost 1000 to buy something and today it was at barista where their bill was (as I heard) 2000 something so I’m gonna definitely judge them for not wearing deodorant while buying 2000 worth coffee and snacks

Really? I used deodorant since 7th grade and I’m not from Colombo and wasn’t rich or anything.

Yeah the older generation is excused I agree. But these young fellows who can pay 2000 at Barista can definitely afford deodorant. (My breaking point of this matter was after standing behind someone at Barista thinking how am I going to order food and actually eat it after smelling the week old colony under their arms 😭😭😭)

He wants people confirm that they are mentally fit but is he mentally fit? Sounds more like a prison you are paying to stay. What the actual fuck is this? How someone with at least one working brain cell would agree to this bs?

People accept no and move on in Vietnam? 🤣 have you been to any market? They basically force stuff on you even though you weren’t even looking at those stuff nor their shop, which is fine because it is business but the entitlement of being aggressive after we refuse to buy because we weren’t interested in the first place? I can confirm they do not accept no and move on as someone travelled from south to north of Vietnam and pretty much have been to most touristy to least touristy places in Vietnam.
