There are ways to manage odor without antiperspirants, however they are even more work than just applying deodorant. Meaning they're functionally worthless when it comes to the trogs stinking up your average MTG tournament.

The rest is spot on, though, wash your stuff regularly and not only will you smell less - your skin should clear up too.

Oh for sure. And ideally everybody could be doing them too. I've gone green or at least more eco-friendly wherever my budget can allow, but genetics are a fickle bitch.

Some people are lucky with their genetics and don't have stank sweat, eat healthy food, don't have physically intensive jobs, so that homemade deodorant can work or a couple swipes of regular deodorant will last 24 hours (and they all say reapply as needed).

Is your skin complexion already 'bad'? Do you leave sweat stains on your bedding? Do you not have problems with breakouts from aluminum oxide? Do you eat bad and don't have the no stank sweat genes (east asian)? Chances are you need to change up your antiperspirant or deodorant routine if you still stink.
