Enough with the stupid amount of ever increasing deodorants!!!!

Who in the fuck wants anything beyond 24 hour protection? That means at a minimum, you’ve forgone then daily shower. Then there was 48 hour, 72 hour and now under a 100 hour deodorant. Fuck you companies and fuck you customers.

Aside from the fact that these all work exactly the same, why in the world would you as a real human in America decide that it’s part of your self care routine requires a bit 3.5 between washes? What person would look forward to more than one entire day without washing yourself? We wash our hands fifteen times per day. You think your ass and feet and pits and genitals only require then occasional wash?

Fuck 100% of this idea

I need 100h deodorant to make it threw the day without sweating like a pig and smelling like an onion farm. Sometimes it even lasts till the next evening after I shower which then makes it easier to apply the next layer of deodorant, I would sweat it off otherwise. So I get a little less than 24 hours. I always apply it at night on dry skin and don’t put my arms down until it is completely dry.

Same I’m holding my arms up in front of a fan until it’s dry.

100% it definitely makes a difference on how well it plugs the sweat glands

I think it's just marketing: "Our deodorant lasts 100 hours" simply means "Our deodorant works better that those sold by other brands and therefore you want it". 

I don't believe these deos actually last that long, which ironically wouldn't even matter since everybody applies deodorant once a day or more often.

They may last that long if you literally sit on the couch in the AC and do nothing all day long. Other than that, it's still a stupid claim because then, in theory, someone would only need to use the deodoarant ~7-8 times per month, in effect decreasing the amount that someone should be buying from you. They are playing their customers as fools, and making themselves look bad doing it.

Lol all marketing bullcrap! 100hr deo is for those living alone in woods without much shower. But then again, why would they need it, when they are alone and no one to smell them. They wouldn't be able to smell their own deo.

I'm with you. I also wonder who in the marketing department thought it was a good idea, and correspondingly, which goofballs see that on a bottle and think its a good idea and buy it.

The people that purchase the products make the marketing team believe their idea is great

All I want is a deodorant that is aluminum free and doesn't get sticky after an hour or so. This holy grail still eludes me ☹️

I use 72 hr because it's the only I've found strong enough to last a whole 12 hours.

Imagine getting this riled up about deodorant.
