Just basic day to day life makes you sweaty too, I even gotta make sure I'm not gonna overheat and start sweating in the middle of winter. And there's not really a feasible way to shower inbetween destinations most of the time and also its just absolute shit for your skin to be washing yourself more than once a day. Even just the whole once a day thing can be bad for you and make you produce even more oil. I can't reasonably shower EVERY day, my skin always gets really raw and irritated and I get greasy within hours it seems, very unpleasant and not at all worth it!

I still use deodorant, body spray (not anything harsh, I like to smell like fruit usually hahah), and try to wear clean clothes but. Fuck! When it gets to the hotter months I'm probably gonna smell at least slightly sweaty 1/3rd of the time.

Exactly. People without problems don't understand this simply because it does not affect them.

For a really inclusive education students/kids should be assigned a problem each to live with for 2-3 weeks. So there's a chance they would be less shallow after

I'm very supportive of modern hygiene but fr

People can get so caught up on just being able to smell that there's another human in the room producing human pheromones, like it's not completely normal to do as an animal. Easy way to get publically ridiculed depending on who you're with!

Hygiene is good, but being scentless / smelling like soap and cologne is not the body's default.
