Like, I travel around for work and I’ve met plenty of people from all backgrounds.

Why is there a demographic of people who don’t seemingly bathe regularly, or at the very least wear something to cover up their BO? I could understand if it’s an allergy, or even religious reasons (though the people I’ve met that smell bad are usually you’re average American young adult man) but recently (like in the past week, recently) I’ve met a concerning number of people who don’t seem to wear any kind of deodorant or possibly don’t even bathe regularly; it’s starting to become an issue for me, as I don’t even want to interact with them when I can smell them walking up from 3+ feet away yet I need to for work.

Does anyone have any possible insight?

      Not always possible, unfortunately. I do my best to shower in the morning and after work before I go anywhere, but if you’re catching me in the late afternoon I’ll probably be pretty ripe.

        I find wet wipes handy for that. Just chuck a packet in your pocket, and give yourself a quick wipedown when you’re in the stall.

        You may want to try using an antiperspirant instead of deodorant.

          I did in the past, been trying to limit the chemicals I put on or in me . Aluminum free deodorant definitely doesn’t work as well as antiperspirant+deodorant
