Lisa-
I'm just the opposite of your friends.
I do wear deodorant, but it's the Tom's of Maine stuff, so pretty mild. However, I'm hyper sensitive to underarm smell. I think the polyester stuff does make it worse. But it comes other times too (even when wearing clean wool). I've asked (close) friends if they can smell anything, and it seems to be just me that notices. Still...makes me paranoid. I tried the crystal, and it didn't work....
Ah well...just goes to show we're all different.
Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...
