Deodorant before bed?

[MAJOR METAL]

Do you think it is peculiar to apply deodorant to your underarms before going to bed? I generally only do this if I shower before bed. I stopped myself the other evening, wondering if it made sense to put deodorant on after showering just to go to bed.

I've never done it.

I put deodorant on after I shower, the time of the day does not matter.

It's not particularly natural to always have a coating of chemicals on the skin. Give your skin the opportunity to "breathe" from time to time...unless you're somehow...pungent straight out of the shower, what's the point? It can wait, methinks.

This. It is used to PREVENT sweating and odor. You sweat any over night and you wake up stinky.

 

[Pilgrim]

Pointless and possibly not as healthy as doing without. Catch up the next morning. If you wake up stinky, run a washcloth over your pits.

I am a sweat hog. I have a lot of muscle. I burn a lot of calories. So, I sweat even while sleeping. So yes, I wear it even if I take a shower before sleeping.
I am also a cyborg so my answer may not apply.

Ditto...it's how I've always done it ever since I started using deodorant as a kid.

Because I like to sleep naked with a pillow between my legs, I put baby powder on/between my crotchal region but that's about it.

Its at the request of the wife, but I like it anyway - its more comfortable.

 

[placedesjardins]

Did you have to use the word "crotchal"? I mean, that's not even a real word, but we all know what you are talking about. I'm disgusted and amused.

Better to not apply before bed. I opt for baby powder on my pits before bed in case of sweating) and if I'm not fresh in the morning, I take a quick rinse in the shower.

Nope, I get funky without deodorant before bed. Not fond of smelling it while I try to sleep.

 

[Josh Pelican]

I used to buy a specific type of Old Spice that actually said it functions best when put on before bed. I put it on before going to bed and when I woke up. Double strength.

Like others have said, I now just put it on whenever I hop out of the shower. On days I have to skip showering, I still put it on before going out.

Depends on whether it is deodorant only or also an anti-perspirant that seals up your pores with aluminum. I think that it would be a lot better for your body not to have this on 24 hrs /day.

 

[Stilettoprefer]

I don't. Seems like a good idea to give your body a break from the chemicals in deodorant.

 

[mellowinman]

Don't use deodorant. It's crap.

Try washing your armpits with antibacterial soap. If that makes you too stinky too soon, try using a little bit of that antibacterial "waterless" stuff.

If there's no bacteria, you won't smell.

Why clog up your pores, and get junk on your clothes?

 

[DiabolusInMusic]

lord no, I don't really use deodorant though, only when I plan on gettin really really sweaty.

I don't want pit stick stains on my blankets, that is gross.

That is odd. Yes. Um why dust your armpits and THEN go to sleep? Deodorant was invented to take care of the stink that occurred after we slept.......if we did it before it'd just be like adding to dirt....

Only after a shower. But before bed? No, but then I live alone so there's no worries about "offending" anyone!!
