Why is there a surge of deodorant products mostly advertised to women in the US? (lemmy.world)

So I have balls and yeah they're the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I'm in a hurry and I don't smell much. That's with working a job that's usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn't bathe every day. I didn't notice much smell then.

Now I see these ads regularly that are like hey women you stink after 12 hrs 5/10. What's up?

I don't know but I'm honestly convinced that they put something in women's deodorant so that we need to buy more of it and it makes us stink more because when I start using fancy women's deodorant I fucking stink like God awful and I can't even stand my own smell but when I stop using deodorant or can't afford it for a while I don't smell bad and I can't figure it out

You become used to the bad smell. Everyone else doesn't

I said I can smell myself and it's more bad smelling when I wear the deodorants then when I don't.. I didn't say I don't fucking smell I said it's worse when I'm wearing deodorant compared to when I don't
