aibu to wear Men’s Sure Maximum Protection roll-on deodorant?

It is so lovely - the scent reminds me of DH in his Sporty Era (dh for some reason switched brands and no longer smells delicious).

It started last year when I was hospitalised and bedbound unexpectedly in the middle of the summer and instead of bringing in my own toiletries Dh just decided to bring me his own 🤷 and now I’m hooked.

dh doesn’t seem to care, and I don’t wear it on “sex days” and apparently hasn’t therefore noticed/ commented that I no longer smell like “cotton” or spring flowers or whatever.

To me this seems perfectly reasonable but I wondered, in a committed relationship, if it’s some sort of faux pas to adopt the scent of your dh as your own…

Half the time (as in, most afternoons) I wear the deodorant of the man I share an office with. Never really occurred to me whether it's weird and my DH has never noticed or if he has he doesn't care. It smells good and works well!

I wonder what sort of deodorants the Transgender Community wear. Do they have special types.

As for wearing the same deodorant as you husband. A bit fetishy and kinky? Swingers territory?

I bought a new make called Ineos (was on offer) on Ocado, read the print on the side and said gender neutral..........that would solve the issue, one for all in the household😂
