A member asked:

Is it safe to use regular deodorant, without antiperspirant, on my thigh, and scrotum area?

Deodorants: I do not know of any deodorant that does not contain an antiperspirant. It is best to lose weight and bath frequently. Twice a day is not unreasonable. Since the odor is the result of perspiration breakdown, you can't have one without the other.
