Why do Indian or Hindu people don't like to use deodorant and think their natural smell, smells nice?

Question

I think it's the Indian or Hindu people, not sure but, you know who I mean! That 5hit aint cute!

Answer 1

While you guys cover the stink of your body with spray's, perfumes and deodorants, Indian's do not use deodorants in order to know when sweat starts to make them smelly, and thus take a great good bath to become fresh again...unlike you people of course, who does take 1 bath a year !!

Answer 2

have you ever tried talc powders? I even have never used deodorant or antiperspirants.. I in effortless terms use infant Powder. I shave my underarms approximately each and every 3-4 days and that's once I bathe. Then I wait till they're dry.. sprinkle some infant Powder into my hand and then rub it on my underarms. It absorbs wetness and smell and may be used throughout the day besides. I sweat worry-free and particularly for the duration of my routines. My boyfriend extremely breaks a sweat and that i glance like I even have run a marathon. you additionally can use lemon juice or sparkling slices possibly as quickly as a week or as a thank you to offer them a stable wipe and cleansing. wish this enables slightly and robust success!

Answer 3

Well Guys,There are few guys who smells bad but not all Indian.there is no concern with HINDU WORD.
They must be belong from backward Place and now sitting with u guys.Mostly people using deodorant and its part of life.

Answer 4

Well i have alot of friends from india who use deodorants but they don't spray near their skin ( ellergies). Just on the outside ( shirts, blouses). Sadly this is not going to stop the smell!! They smell quite "oniony". I'm a hindu and use dedorants/perfume and so do me parents.
But i don't think reigion plays a part cause i have alot of muslim friends who use perfumes and smell great. I have to agree that i have found a few australians smell as well. Yes of pork...sometimes of egg-i-ness as well.

A few of my experiences.

Answer 5

You are a freakin' idiot. Way to generalize an entire population. Indians and Hindus are not synonymous terms. First of all, Indians can be included in any number of different religions, ie Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, etc. Second of all, how do you know that all Indians don't use deoderant or other perspirant? People might use powder.
I just have to wonder if you live in India. If you do, can you possibly give me one explaination why you expect people who are poorer than dirt to use whatever money they get for things that make them smell good instead of food or shelter or water?
Honestly, step into somebody else's shoes for a day and think about what might be preventing them for using such luxeries as deoderants.
If you live in a westernized country, perhaps people don't know how much they smell. If you get accustomed to the smell of Indian cusine, or you live in a home in which you cook and smells radiate into the walls, you don't realize it until you go out and come back in. The same way with clothing and body odor.

And I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people all around the world that DON'T prefer their natural smell, they might not just realize that it's that strong.

Get off your high horse.

Answer 6

Okaaaaaay.....For a start you need to know who you are talking about.

I'll assume you just mean South Asians.....

Needless to say all the Hindu's i know do indeed wear deodorant just like you and me.

I can only assume you might be referring to some Muslim's who adhere to the rule that no perfumes are allowed to be worn, in which case many wear a musk instead. Perhaps thats what the smell is.

Also, bear in mind that you are used to White people's smell........A lot of South Asians i've talk to speak about Westerners smelling like pork and boiled vegetables!

lol

Answer 7

well, i actually have a friend who is indian and she wears deodorant but her mom dosent i asked her why one day and she said that in her culture it is bad to wear things that are un-natural.

Answer 8

I love the smell

Answer 9

How do you know this?? Do ALL Indian and Hindu people do this? Maby it's just the way they do things.

Answer 10

First off, don't generalize. But secondly, some cultures don't use deodorant because it has alcohol in it and that goes against their religion. And lastly, if everyone around you has body odor, it's a non-issue. So if you come to a place where deodorant is the norm...how are you supposed to know? You don't get an American hygiene pamphlet with your plane ticket.
