For me, if I don't use deodorant for a couple of days I can really smell myself. Doesn't help to wash with or without soap either, I almost smell worse after soaping when not using deodorant.

But it does take a few days for the smell to kick in.

The whole point is to wait until your body's bacteria, etc has come back into balance. One or two days doesn't work.

I had an a rash under my arms for the better part of a year that made all the hair go away, and removed all of the odor there. It was just like any other skin that was sort of clammy, like having your knee folded up.

I use Potassium Alum (by Salt Of The Earth) and haven't had problems. Technically a deo, I guess.

That is the active ingredient in antiperspirants, so it's exactly the same, yeah.

It may sound natural but the aluminium is toxic.

Aluminium is the active ingredient in literally all commercial antiperspirants. There's no evidence that putting aluminum based components on your armpits is harmful: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-a...
