What metrics are deoderant companies using to calculate their "72hr protection" numbers?
How do these companies come to that conclusion? I think most people start to smell after only 24 or 48 hours max so how do these companies get 72 hours out of their testing?
Im assuming they're fudging their numbers but at what point does it become false advertisement?
When I’m working from home, I generally don’t shower for days because I’m a dumb little gremlin. Some days I’m so stinky, despite deodorant. Some weeks will go by and I’ll be unstinky for multiple days, despite not wearing deodorant. Body smellz are weird.
Remote work really lends itself to some bad habits. My body's sweet spot seems to be showering every other day, and with remote work I can end up not leaving the house at all for long enough that I'll get to as much as 4 days without showering (usually the point where I shower at lunch because holy crap I just want to not feel my skin being greasy
Doesn't help that I do evening showers which relies on my getting ready for bed on time, and staying up too late can be made up for by simply getting up 5 minutes before work and eating breakfast over the work computer an hour later
Honestly I've only gone made it to 7 days when sick and feeling like a shower would be waterboarding myself and waited until I felt just well enough to actually shower
