I know this topic serves no purpose and anyone can choose to particpate but I asked my hubby last night when he got out of the shower if he put deodorant on and he said no. I quite frankly was shocked cause I ALWAYS put it on after a shower, like the bathing rituals not complete until I've put on deodorant whether I'm going somewhere or not. His response was "well I don't sweat when I sleep" to which I said "how do you know?" and he says his first wife told him so :laugh: :indifferent:

Anyway........ what's everyone's take on this?? any other funny/interesting rituals? :flowerforyou:

    I don't and I don't think my husband does either which is weird because he has a great fear that he smells bad.:huh:

    I don't put it on right after my shower, but before I get dressed.

    If I'm not going anywhere for the day then I don't wear any at all! th_muahaha.gif

    I think it works better the next day if you put it on at night. The clinical strength anti-pers. say on the directions to put on the night before.

    I put on deodorant when I'm getting dressed for the day (which usually follows a shower), but if I was showering before bed I wouldn't. Unless your husband has B.O. I think he's a grown man and knows his body. What's the big deal?

    Same here, I usually don't even sweat while I'm working out, but I do put it on every morning.
    Never before bed though...

    I try not to put it on right away... I feel like if I wear it all the time that my body gets resistant to it ( this probably isn't true but its a mental thing) so I put it on only if i'm going somewhere... and i'm one of those sweating butts at the gym! :tongue: :laugh:

    No big deal, hence the smileys and question at the end implying I was the one with the weird habit :smile:

    And it wasn't a question of before bed, or before working out, before leaving the house, etc .... I'm pretty sure i said "after a shower" and I guess that's just how I grew up.... putting it on after a shower. And btw he might be grown, but I can smell him long before he can :flowerforyou:

    I'm a post-menapausal woman who's natural "normal" temperature runs around 99.4 who lives with someone who is underweight, anemic with a normal temp of about 97.2 who tends to turn the thermostat up to 90 (and still sits there wrapped in a blanket complaining about being cold) so deodorant is a must for me!

    i put it on inthe morning-afternoon-and at night. i must be stinky. i feel like i need it...but i also have a problem finding one that works for me. i actually use old spice original solid. ooooooo it smells so good! smell it next time you are in the store...but it has to be original(the white solid). I like it cause it doesnt smell like a man and it works well for me.:flowerforyou:

    What's deodorant? :embarassed:

    Just kidding...I put it on after I get dressed. Don't wear it to bed either. And I agree sometimes men become desensitzed to their own scent and we are left to suffer. :sick:

    I remember reading once that you should never put deodorant on after a shower so I only put it on like just before I leave for work, about an hour after the shower.

    I wouldn't put the stuff on before bed, I'm sorry... there are just too many chemical IN deodorant that I question. I don't trust the stuff!!!!!

    I don't usually put deodorant on when I'm getting out of the shower unless it's first thing in the morning. But at the same time, I usually reapply a few times a day. I know, weird habit. :ohwell: I just feel like sometimes I need that extra swipe! :wink:

    I, too, put it on right after a shower. Whether my shower is morning, noon or night! And, even if I don't shower in the morning before going out, I always add a little more just in case! :laugh:

    My problem is . . . I'll use Dove for a while and then it stops working! So, I switch to Teen Spirit (even though I'm 24 . . .hehe, it smells good!) and after a while, it stops working, too! I switched this past week to a non-perfumed deodorant called Dry Idea and it seems to be working perfectly. The only thing I miss is the whiff of nice-smelling deodorant! This stuff kinda smells like alcohol when you first put it on. When it dries . . . nothing. :indifferent:

    Anybody else have that problem?

    I put it on after I get dressed after a shower. If I take a shower in the evening I'll put in on too so I don't ruin a clean body with smelly pits. If I stay in my pajamas and don't shower, I don't put on deodorant because I figure I'm already smelly so what's the point. :laugh:

    Every time I shower, I put lotion on, everywhere, and then put deodorant on then get dressed. Whether it is the shower I take at night before bed or the one I take in the morning before work. It just makes me feel clean and fresh.:flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :drinker:

    :drinker: Here here sister! And the lotion habit is one I wish I could get into!! My skin is so dry, especially now that I'm preggers and I really wish I had the patience to give myself a good rub down once a day but it's so tiresome to me.... maybe there's just too much of me to cover :laugh: and I get sick of spending all that time doing it. Plus like someone else who wasn't sure about deodorant and it being more harmful or whatever, lotions tend to contain a lot of wax and I wonder If using lotion every day would eventually trick my body into not producing it's natural moisturizers.... man am I long winded.... :embarassed:

    I love Bath N Body works. I just feel so fresh when I put the lotion on. Smells good :bigsmile: And I have dry skin.:grumble: Especially in the winter so it's just a habit now :ohwell: :wink:
