Dirty B*ggers

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the idea of these new 72 hour deoderents repulsive.
I take it that they are to keep you 'fresh' for three days without washing.
Maybe they would have had a place back in the days when bath night was once a week, but not these days when everybody has a bathroom and access to a bath or shower surely.
What do you think?
Would you use them and not bother washing for three days?

[sandyRoe]

If you combined them with these you'd hardly ever need soap.

[ummmm]

I use them but not because I'm a soap dodger.

It's not just your arm pits that need cleaning daily.

[vodkancoke]

I don't think they are telling you not to shower for 3 days. I think they are just trying to big-up their product. I would use them like I use any other deoderant and I would still shower daily.

[jackthehat]

I don't think you are obliged to remain unwashed for 72 hours.....

But, if they keep you 'fresh' for 3 days, is there any point in washing?

[Sparkles62]

Do you use m and still have a wash every day ummm,
Or do you leave it on for three days then have a wash?

[Prudie]

I can see they have their uses though, festival goers, backpackers etc?

[shoota]

There is a body of opinion that too much washing with soap or other cleaning agents such as shower gel is detrimental to health as it destroys 'friendly' bacteria along with the pongmakers.

[Sparkles62]

Yes prudie, I never thought about it that way,
SIL is a truck driver, I suppose he would be better with something that lasts longer for his overnight or two day trips. X

[ummmm]

Yes I wash everyday and I wouldn't be tempted not to just because my deodorant says it lasts 72 hours.

Sithee....

No Kosmos, I wasn't implying that,
Its just that these days you expect people to have access to a bathroom to wash as and when you want, and I couldn't see the need for a 72 hour deoderent.
Not like my grandparents days when the outside loo was shared with the rest of the street, and no bathroom in the house.
When I was little we were not allowed in the kitchen on friday night for an hour or two whilst my grandad had a bath,

[daffy654]

I passed a man in the village a few days ago that could have done with it, he obviously has no idea what a wash, bath or shower is and the smell of him made me heave.

[Sparkles62]

Thats fine desky, you don't have to have a shower or bath to be clean, but I think these days everybody gets washed. X

[Sparkles62]

Me too, but each to their own. X
