    It’s not about hygiene, but what you eat.

      If you get to the point of oozing food smells out of your pits, you should prolly take a shower.

          I know that the ones that don’t shower don’t use deodorant either (or it just stops working after some time…) but you can definitely smell when showering regularly.

            Yes, I’m not arguing that. There’s a whole lot of emphasis on “propere hygiene”, it’s not just “showering a lot”.

            Sometimes excessive showering can cause your skin to lose it’s “natural” properties and bad bacteria might set up colonies, and then the overt showering will keep the natural skin balance from balancing itself.

            Also, diet affects one a lot.

            I don’t think everyone who sweats, smells. And some sweat smells straight up good. (Again, given proper hygiene, and this good sweat smell is usually connected to intimate activities.)
