      I hope you and the other folks in this thread saying poo don’t have children you leave smelling like this :) you’re supposed to change them when they do that friend.

      I change myself straight away too. Smelling like that sucks. Smelling like baby powder is nice though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      If your baby predominantly smells like shit, you may need to be changing diapers more often…

    I remember people giving Biden shit for smelling his granddaughter’s head, right in that spot in the middle of the scalp that always smells like a newborn baby. People make me so sad for the little wholesome things its obvious they missed out on, so they label it “predatory”.

      Yeah, outrage distribution networks are awful. I still smell my 15-month-old’s scalp after a bath. I’m going to miss it when the “baby smell” completely disappears.

    I fucking love not smelling like anything. Might be my autism and adhd. I’m elated when I find deodorant, body soap and hair soap that barely has a smell, or at least a smell that vanishes quickly.

    • Same. I used to like Degree because it had barely any scent and actually worked as an antiperspirant. But then they changed the formula and started adding scents while it does fuck all to prevent sweating. 😩

        I heard, quite a while back, that while deodorants are basically just smelly persistent goo that helps trap and mask your most stinky zones, antiperspirants actually act by having an element that binds to your sweat glands, and this can actually cause them to block up and cause dermatological problems.

        Is this still, or was it ever accurate?

        I dunno, maybe its more or less like many kinds of make up, where that only becomes a problem if you don’t wash it off after use?

          Antiperspirants use aluminum compounds that clog glands and block sweat from exiting pores. Reactions to this process vary a lot.

        Sensory sensitivity is absolutely a common symptom of adhd

          No, it isn’t. Check the DSM. Stop making things up about medical diagnoses.

          If everyone on earth with ADHD liked pizza, liking pizza still wouldn’t be a symptom - no matter how much you say it is on your online forums.

              I understand this is something being researched. but it’s not something conclusive. there are a few studies suggesting links but more work needs to be done. there’s studies in there that are out of date and others that rely on self-reported symptoms. then there’s also comorbid ASD which muddies the water. one great study you link controlled for ASD and found interesting things to follow up on, but you cannot base conclusions on one paper alone.

              as far as the science is currently concerned, sensory sensitivity is not diagnostic of ADHD at this time. and with OP saying they have ASD, why even lump ADHD in this?

              I’m getting so tired of armchair psychologists on social media, jeez…

    At the hospital, one of the nurses joked that whenever a fellow medical professional walked past a newborn they’d always ask for a hit of that new baby smell. Coke for the neonatal wing of the hospital.

    Wasn’t there an old thing for women’s perfume that they should “smell like the underside of my mistress”
