Title: Dominant Armpit Smell Questionnaire
Post by: Kavik on Tue, 16 February 2021, 20:21:08
Given you have just exercised vigorously or have not bathed for 1+ days,

1. Does the smellier of your two armpits correspond with your handedness, i.e. is B.O. more pungent in your left armpit if you are left handed?

2. If you are ambidextrous, do both of your armpits smell equally bad?

Wait, are you saying that some people only have stinky armpits?  Meaning that no other place on their body smells other than their armpits.  Dang..

My armpits accumulate smell in equal measure. What bothers me is how quickly my balls get smelly. Like an hour after showering my balls start making miso soup again, it's crazy.

Did you know in a large focus group used in a university study most people could not distinguish the difference between the scent of armpits and parmesan cheese?

Pretty much. Eventually the dangly bits and cleftal horizon start to stink with enough use, but that usually takes longer to be noticeable.

Noisy, you never disappoint. This made me laugh out loud.

Fun fact; the chemical chiefly responsible for the smell of parmezan cheese is also responsible for the smell of vomit.

The fact that you bothered to comment in this thread is proof that it is worth existing.

pits don't really get smelly, but my feet could clear a small town when they get their summer funk.

smelly balls:  try lume deodorant.  Holy ****, it works.  I was so tired of ball stink.  Thought it was just part of getting older.  Nope.  It's just bacteria going at the sweat.  The only thing I don't like about lume is that you basically have to apply it with your fingers, so it gets on your hands, making them smell like the deodorant and feel dry.  But I'll take that over smelly downstairs.  Works on the back door just as well.  It's a huge improvement for me.  Can't recommend more highly.

It’s weird.  It wasn’t a problem until the past few years.  I’d say it started around age 40.  You just get smelly as you age.  /shrug

It is mostly 50/50 for me.
But sometimes my right one will smell a lot worse than my left one. Probably because that's my mouse hand.
