In response to Re: Body Odor (John O'Shei)

I think some new foreigners just struggle to find good deodorant in China

Or at all. I usually stock up on deodorant in the summer months, as many places in China stop selling it in the cold season because according to one local, "no one sweats when it's cold."

partially due to the fact that a lot of smelly local people don't wear it.

There's definitely truth to this. I've encountered locals who have literally never heard of deodorant (which isn't quite so surprising; I've yet to see any Chinese brand deodorant anywhere). Most would assume I was talking about perfume, then I'd have to explain that it's like perfume but primarily for your armpits and not as pricey =/
