apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I use a spray deodorant (no anti-perspirant), but I only use it about once every 2 weeks or so (I don't really need it).

Roll-ons do not present that conundrum; curious as to why that isn't a clickable button on there for that.

Not a savory topic? I'm not even going to finish reading this post... there are people in the audience that most definitely find the whole subject savory and I think we all know some of them... No, I'm not one of the lucky few. Now I'm going back to finish the post.

Oh, my Lord... We all have entrely too much free time.

And I thought the Great Toilet Paper Debate was stupid... The last thing I expected to see on this site was a close up of some dude's armpit. Gross.

Wait a minute -- my calendar doesn't say April 1st!?!?!

I'm with Lori and Frank.

oh come on, people, lighten up!

I'm not sure what all the complaining is about. This is the kind of hard hitting journalism that has launched weblogs into the main stream...I'm just glad that Apartment Therapy has the guts to report what the MSM would never dare to touch.

next up: Brushing, up and down, or sideways?

please don't show a close-up of a pit ever again.

Whoa, as I was scrolling, I thought it was a pic of another hairy area...

My biggest concern is anyone in the office wondering what I'm laughing at. Every day can always use a bit of silliness. Thanks!

Just goes to show you, different things gross different people out. BTW, why do you think that's a male armpit?

I think this and the tp discussion are very well suited for a Friday.

Maxwell, the only thing I find objectionable here is the use of "DW" -- absolutely hate those cheesy internet expressions for our family members. Perfect bit of silliness for a beautiful, fall Friday. And so dead-on about how those privy to our personal habits can make us feel like such imbeciles. By the way, that's aluminum-free deodorant, right? :)

I don't even know what DW is. Duh. Domestic wingnut?

Dear wife. (I'm gagging as I type this.)

Oh, right - I hate those cheesy internet acronyms too. Who came up with those, anyway?

I wonder if Jon B. is actually my ex-boyfriend who also insisted he didn't need deodorant. Guess what? You do. Once every 2 weeks? I can't even imagine a scenario that would make that OK. If you lay flat on your back, in a cool room, naked, on balls of cotton without movement all day, you might be stink-free. But if you do any exercise at all the thought of this makes me cringe. And if I am wedged under your armpit as your reach up to the bar for stability on the subway, I will hate you a little.

OMG. People worry about which way to apply deodorant? I'd be more concerned about screwing in a lightbulb the right way.

rr, you win for best comment.

And I must admit that before this morning, it never even occurred to me to apply vertically.

I may try it tomorrow morning for kicks.

(Suddenly very self-conscious as I reread my comment about doing it "for kicks" and CERTAIN this is a reason why I'm single. Must get out more.)

Apply in a "W" then fill in.

Oh, wait, that's how to paint a wall with a roller. Nevermind.

Patrick (the other one), I think I'm in love with you.

I read this on Friday and laughed a bit (and wondered again why women "have" to shave their pits but guys don't - and no, I didn't assume it was a guy's pit!)...but on Saturday morning when the deodorant came out, I remembered...

I have never, ever given this question a second's thought before in my life.

Heh.

Mia, methinx there's heartbreak ahead.

rr,

It's simple: sweat plus bacteria equals BO. My pits rarely perspire and scrub them at least once a day.

Wanna go out?

Does the picture on the right remind anyone else of the scene in that Cheech and Chong movie where they're using dildo shaped deodorant?
And that's obviously a man's armpit. Without or without the hair.

Mia, methinx we're ALL in love with him.
