I don’t use deodeorant, I use a generic antitranspirant. It prevents sweating but you don’t stink of …whatever the fuck those super artificial “manly” smells are supposed to be.
I went the other way and use non-antiperspirant deodorant, once I learned the anti-perspirant is aluminum flakes that cause an allergic swelling to close up your sweat glands (at least it explained all the glitter stains in the armpits of my shirts).
Oh, curious. They are called “Antitranspirant” in German.
Latin words are almost always 1:1 the same in German and English (modulo suffix) and this appears to be derived from latin too, so I had assumed it’d be the same but, in this specific case, it’s not.
