#8 – Antiperspirant and Deodorant
Besides being gross, sharing used sticks can lead to infections. Actually, certain types of deodorants work by destroying odor-causing bacteria, offering extra protection. Yet, most deodorants, particularly organic types, only cover the smell with fragrance.
This makes it easy for underarm germs to move and live on the stick. So unless you wipe down the stick with alcohol, you should never share it.
All that is required to deal with the problem of underarm BO is to shave off the underarm hairs as the smell is caused by bacteria which gather on these; thus no hairs no smell.
