Synthetic fabrics are the absolute worst.

This. Most people have stank clothing, and it doesn't matter how clean your body is when the fabric you put on it warms up to body temp and starts releasing stankness. This is also why your gym clothes reek, even if you didn't when you put them on.

You mean that you can never wash the BO out of synthetic fabrics? So basicially, everything must be cotton.

Synthetic workout clothes should probably be soaked in vinegar and baking soda every other wear. And simply thrown away once a year. You can't wear a synthetic shirt 50 or even 100+ times, get it drenched in sweat each time, then let it sit around until wash day, and not expect it to stink. Toss it!

The problem is many people, especially men, don't know how to properly clean themselves. Many people don't use proper soap, a washcloth or something abrasive to scrub off old deodorant and dead skin that bacteria like, and don't wash for long enough to get rid of the bacteria. Most people are rubbing some soap under their pits or swishing a dirty old loofah under their for a few seconds and calling it a day.

Yeah, I use a 40 grit sandpaper to scrub off the old deodorant. WTH kind of deodorant are you using that it takes an abrasive, or even a washcloth to remove it. Soap and water work just fine for me. It only takes seconds. I think most people know how to properly clean themselves.

Lmao you’re proving my point. I bet you’d be real funky at the end of the day if you didn’t use deodorant because you don’t clean properly.

I almost never wear deodorant because my skin doesn’t like it and I only ever get odor under my pits if I get very very upset. But I spend adequate time and attention cleaning, and yes, it does require something to scrub off the remaining film of deodorant. So I’m fine without it for 24-36 hours until I shower again.

I have literally never heard of a man using a washcloth anywhere on his body in the shower.

How would you just “hear of” something like that? It’s not a common topic of conversation
