Putting The Shower To The Test (And The Nose On Alert) | Showering Enthusiast

Regular routine: Degree roll-on twice a day after showering.

Days without the product: 1 ½.

“Most guys on my team don’t wear deodorant — it’s not like in America — but I felt really uncomfortable. I did a better job in the shower than normally because I was really worried about smelling bad. I actually think I smelled O.K. But there was more moisture there than I wanted, so I kept feeling like I should go take another shower. At one point I smelled something bad on the court and I put my nose down to smell myself. A teammate saw me doing it and was like, ‘Don’t worry, it’s not you.’” More.
