To wonder why people put deodorant on at night?

[Supermagicsmile]

I have just got back from the gym. Almost everyone who came into the changing room from the shower put deodorant on as they got dressed. It's late(ish) evening! I can't understand why anyone would put deodorant on at night? I shower and leave it off till I shower in the morning!! Please say I'm not alone?

iago - most of us are probably using the word deodorant and antiperspirant interchangeably.

I use the mitchum stick, definitely antiperspirant. And i definitely don't use the smelly one.

I think I'm lucky, I'm not a sweaty person, I shower and go to bed, I don't put anything on my skin. In the morning I shower again and just use some cuticura talc all over.

DP has never said I smell and I know my best friend would tell me if I did I don't like the feel of the synthetic deodorant, they make my skin sting also

So just medicated talc and some light perfume for me.

Always do I don't want to smell BO in the morning.

It's never ever crossed my mind to put it on at night after a shower if I'm putting pyjamas on. I might do at a gym when getting dressed, but that would be just habit rather than a conscious decision.

I never used to get smelly. Hormonal changes have a lot to answer for!

What's this one that stops you sweating?

I think the antiperspirant that is used the night before may be driclor? If so I was just talking about this with my Aunt yesterday, she swears by it. I think its around £6 from Boots. Since having my ds my sweating has dramatically increased so I think I might give it a try!

Bumping for this mornings crowd. I have learnt many things about people on mumsnet, but putting deodorant before bed, is a new one for me. I want to know how many more people do or don't do this.

I shower twice a day, and only put deodorant on after the morning shower. I like to get my stank on overnight.
