does anyone else find that deoderant/antiperspirant makes them sweat more? - eviltoast

So firstly, I don’t sweat a lot to begin with. I’ll go for a run and I’ll be at a mile before I feel sweat beading up. I’ll get a little clammy throughout the day, but rarely have whole body sweats. As a result, I have very low body odor. If I don’t shower, it’ll take several days before my significant other will notice.

But I don’t wear deoderant or antiperspirant. If I do, then its like the rest of my body decides it needs to sweat. Anyone else out there with this experience?

    Same experience, I used to get so much pit sweat just sitting around in the office, and the residue from antiperspirant would destroy my shirts, too. Stopped using antiperspirant, started using regular deodorant, and my body re-calibrated very quickly. I don’t get pit sweat at all unless I’m actually working out.
