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?

    That’s interesting. I avoid ads…so I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. I think my balls get a bit of a smell after a day, but like a nice, mild balls smell. My pits, man, my fucking pits…they go rancid in about a day’s time, definitely in 2-3. Simply stating as a matter of fact, gotta deal with my pits before my balls.

      Switch from regular deodorant to an Alum block

      Looks like a piece of ice. Shower normally, dry up, then run the block on cold water and apply… Let it be a few mins and dry your pits

      You can thank me by passing the tip to the next person in need ;-)

      I’m talking ads you can’t avoid on TV. Yeah I’m so old I don’t have a screen in my face but across the room.

      Maybe switch to antiperspirant? I did that many years ago and it really helped.

        Well it all goes bad anyway, it’s just good to clean up. I do not use antiperspirants, I don’t like the idea of shoving stuff into my pores to block bodily functions. Those are kind of addictive, like if you’re on them & don’t use them, sometimes I feel like the problem is even worse. Like your body is purging because you stopped it up with aluminum.

        I used antiperspirants until late HS, early college; it stained, discolored my shirts. I stopped using antiperspirant, and the staining stopped, too.
