About two months ago I switched from antiperspirant to deodorant and didn’t tell my wife
It was an experiment. I had switched from deodorant to antiperspirant over 30 years ago.
Deodorant is much less expensive than the gel antiperspirant I’ve been buying for a long time. Since deodorant is still on the market, I presumed it was still a viable personal care choice.
So far, my wife hasn’t noticed. This means the deodorant is working just as well as the antiperspirant. If I would’ve told her from the start, she never would’ve put up with it. If I tell her now, she’ll notice it on principle if not on my malodorousness.
There are two potentially confounding variables at play, however. 1. I apply deodorant as a prophylactic more frequently than I did antiperspirant. 2. I have antiperspirant in my gym bag and use it after showering at the gym. That being said, I don’t go to the gym everyday.
The experiment will continue.
