How do these companies come to that conclusion? I think most people start to smell after only 24 or 48 hours max so how do these companies get 72 hours out of their testing?

Im assuming they’re fudging their numbers but at what point does it become false advertisement?

      I don’t know how they measure it, but I used to stink despite showering twice a day. I had to put a lot perfume and deo. I always had the feeling that my bath towels were stinking. Until, one day I ran out of soap and used my head and shoulder as soap and also forgot to put deo. 24 hours later there were very litle sent that you had to be mm away from under arm to smell anything. Now I just use head and shoulders as my soap and shampoo. I only use deo if I’m going to do labour intensive movements/activities. My wife was shocked when I told her I havent used deo in over 6 months. Her only concerns is about safety, since I am using it daily. If any of you reading this are scientists let me know the risk of the daily usage.

        I periodically used mouthwash, on my arm pits, as a teenager. It cleared the funky smell quite impressively. I would definitely suspect head and shoulders anti fungal properties as the useful bit.

        Head & Shoulders contains ingredients that have anti-fungal properties: 
        
        Zinc pyrithione
        Also known as ZPT, this ingredient is an active ingredient in Head & Shoulders dandruff detox shampoo. It can reduce the amount of fungus on the scalp, which can help prevent dandruff. ZPT can also help manage seborrheic dermatitis, an inflammatory scalp condition. However, it can cause contact dermatitis in rare cases. 
        
        Selenium sulfide
        This ingredient acts as an antifungal and antibacterial cleansing agent. It can help prevent the growth of Malassezia, a type of yeast that causes dandruff. However, it can cause excessive oiliness and yellow discoloration in the hair shaft. 
        

        I think you had fungal infection mate

          Not at all, now I shower only one time a day with no deo, and if I feel my armpit is swaety i just rinse it with plain water until I shower. No funcky smell at all. Even sex sweat is not funky anymore.
