get friends who aren't stupid, or buy them all some natural deodorant like tom's or some of those deodorant crystals and give it to them. they'll probably be insulted and you'll have to look for new friends anyway, but at least you won't have to smell them anymore.

are you going to art school or something? I'm trying to rack my brain to think of where you could possibly be, where you'd run into that many people who don't use deodorant. I have several friends who are either hippies or into the whole natural products thing for health reasons. but even they use some form of deodorant/antiperspirant. but then, they are all over the age of 20 and are not in denial about how they smell. your friends sound like they are either in high school or college and are not very self-aware, or have never had a job.

That sounds a little odd; I wouldn't think they would want to smell bad

Maybe say after 30 seconds when you see them, "what is that smell" like innocently, and then the topic will be introduced, and go from there

Im in College yes, and suprisingly in Milwaukee. A lot of people for some reason are taking the whole healing gems, rocks, no-shaving, body oil shit very seriously for whatever fuck reason. I hate trends.

They are well aware they smell. 'ITS NATURAL OH MY GOD YOU CAN DEAL WITH IT' is usually the immediate comeback

definitely start making some new friends asap. when your old friends ask why you don't hang out with them anymore, you can either
a) be blunt and tell them you can't stand the smell anymore
or
>b)about 6-12 months, and then arrange to hang out with them again. if they've developed a sense of consideration for others and have started controlling their stink, resume your friendship with them. if not, make yourself scarce for good.

the reason I say 6-12 months is that usually when people that age go through a phase like that, it takes at least a year or so for them to move on from it.

of course, if they get a summer job or internship, that will speed things up. employers don't care how many chemicals are in deodorant, they care about having employees who don't stink.

Unrelated but similar question. Girl here and I sweat TOO MUCH in hot weather, causing me to reapply deodorant frequently at work. It's annoying because I have to shuffle all the way to the back of the store and go to my locker. And hope no one sees me apply the deodorant because I think it's embarassing. And then I have to shuffle all the way back to my department

Am I just using the wrong deodorant?

Is it just deodorant, or does it have antiperspirant in it too? Deodorant just covers up the smell, antiperspirant stops the sweat. And some of us are blessed with shitty biology. I have to use the extra strong Dove deodorant/antiperspirant , which comes in a tube that's inside a box for some useless reason. Try it, it's a life saver. And I'm thankfull that's all I need, instead of having to resort to sweat gland removal surgery.

For OP:
The fuck, they should just use a natural deodorant

Yes it's the suave brand deodorant antiperspirant. I bought it because cheapo. I only use it at work. You just made me realize I should probably invest in the super duty deodorant for work.

In case any anons were wondering, I work indoors but for some reason we either don't have air conditioning, or it's broken, or it just isn't turned high enough. One can easily sweat just by walking around enough at my work

If they're really as bad as you say, they must not be showering or something.

Honestly, deoderant is useless to anyone with basic hygiene. I'm saying this as someone who hangs out with stinky, sweaty musicians all day. Natural BO of a healthy, hygienic person isn't a big deal. Even with filthy fuckers it's not a big deal as long as you don't get in their personal space.

Have you considered the possibility that you're just a little bitch?
