So firstly, I don’t sweat a lot to begin with. I’ll go for a run and I’ll be at a mile before I feel sweat beading up. I’ll get a little clammy throughout the day, but rarely have whole body sweats. As a result, I have very low body odor. If I don’t shower, it’ll take several days before my significant other will notice.
But I don’t wear deoderant or antiperspirant. If I do, then its like the rest of my body decides it needs to sweat. Anyone else out there with this experience?
I’m no doctor, but I can’t imagine why you’d sweat more elsewhere by having antiperspirant on. Your body is sweating because it’s hot, it’s not hotter by having the antiperspirant on and the difference in the cooling speed of your body by allowing your pits to sweat probably isn’t very much, so you’re not likely sweating longer. Unless you normally sit there with your arms up to air out the pits.
but i too, do not have a source.
