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?

    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?

      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. 👍

            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.

      The other dude might’ve overreacted, but you gotta change your clothes every day. If you wait until you start noticing you stink, everyone else around you noticed days ago.

        No I don’t, every day would be insane. We’d be running the washer non-stop if everyone in the family did that. I am very aware of my smell, I check it every day, and my wife will let me know if I start smelling (at which point I already know way before her anyway, but just didn’t have time or energy to shower yet (two kids after all)).

        People are overreacting about this, holy hell. Folks, everyone’s chemistry can be different. Everyone’s energy expenditure and temperature during the day can be different. I am not you. I don’t sweat much or start to smell at all during the week, unless I don’t change my clothes or shower for about 4 days. But I do change my clothes and shower more often than that. So there’s no problem here for anyone to fix(!).

        I appreciate everyone’s concern and everything but please get off my back now lol.

        Edit: people down voting because they’re jealous of my easy hygiene? Or what is going on? I’m just lucky in combination with some good hygiene routine choices. That’s it.

          You actually don’t. Or your wife is accustomed to your smell too, which is probably the case.

            I can tell before her, because I’ll say I stink and she won’t agree. I’ve also asked my mother if she thinks I ever smell bad – never (as an adult), she says. I asked her because she asked me, as well, for this very reason (being too accustomed to your own smell, as she lives alone). She doesn’t smell either, and uses no products when she showers, just her own natural ingredients soap mix. It might be genetic, that we don’t produce much odour. I don’t f-ing know lol. All I know is my own situation, and everyone here seems to think we are all the same and alike, but humans are very different sometimes. Deal with it.
