      You can wash regularly and have strong smell. AND it’s not very good to never use soap.

      People that bathe in parfum are bad as well.

        Can confirm. My dad’s bo is sour. Stinks up the bathroom and with the least bit of sun, the effect of exessive showering is undone.

        I tend to disagree. I guess it depends…

        I’m using shampoo for hair, though only because I think a lot of filth that’s flying around in cities (and dust in rooms) collects there (and it gets itchy).

        But as a counter example: I washed my feet with soap a long time ago and had constantly issues with fungal infection there. Then I stopped that (and only use water) and never had these issues again…

              Well, cool if it worked for you. But it probably won’t for most people. Fungi are usually very hard to get rid of.

      my psych/socio teacher in HS had a rather funny litmus test for that one.

      Words from his mouth were “if your ear wax is dry, you probably don’t stink anymore”

          not entirely sure, but that’s what he postulated, being a middle aged man and all.

          Presumably it just means that your body is producing less material for bacteria to make smelly. But this is also 1700s levels of science lmao.
