I don't use deodorant. At all. I haven't for about two years now. And I guarantee you that I have less underarm smell than you. Every morning I splash a squirt of rubbing alcohol under each arm. No smell, no white powder, no creepy aluminum salts.

> no creepy aluminum salts As someone who's used them for probably a decade now, I wonder what you think is creepy about them? Also, I've read about some rubbing alcohols not being safe for long term use, have you heard this, and what have you settled on?

possibly alzheimer's disease. ...or maybe not.

A common one, but undeniably useful: find a type of sock you like, buy a bunch of them, then throw out or donate your old ones. Then never sort those socks again.

I do this once per year or so. I call it "sock bankruptcy". I've also started doing this more recently with undershirts, underwear, etc.
