Apparently antiperspirant is not that good for you so I did quit using it for a year or so after the pandemic so I was at home anyways. I would use more natural deodorant without aluminum or anything bad but maaaaaaaaaan my pits stunk and washing with soap didn't even eliminate it. After I started using it again because I couldn't even stand my own BO it disappeared immediately. I don't always shower every day and don't put it on except after showering and drying off and the smell after 2 days without a shower is much more pleasant than half an hour after showering during the time period I wasn't using it. Why that is, idk. You wouldn't think it would be that bad especially if I was showering. I would even try stuff like vinegar on my pits but it didn't help.
I had the same problem! Couldn't stand my own stink! Then I tried non - antiperspirant deodorant and my sweat just washed it away after a few hours, plus I felt uncomfortable with swampy pits. So I went back to my unscented Mitchum. (Which is sold as being for Men, but it's a nongender neutral.)
Going without bras, big Yes!
Going without antiperspirant, big No.
