If itβs for competing brands itβs either evidence of either a gaslighting cartel, or tons of mimicry and breeze testing in the ad teamsβ thinking.
Making women feel uncertain is an old tactic for body care products.
Bro shower at least once a day
People produce different amounts of body odor. Also it's better for your skin to not use shampoo every day. 4-5 times a week is totally fine.
I never use shampoo, only soap. I live in a place that is always hot and humid. We're in out coldest time of the year now and it's currently 27 degrees Celsius outside at 0830
Trust me people nee to shower once a day or you can smell them across the street
Maybe people from those extremes shouldn't advise the rest of the world what to do then.
I meant to write soap, not shampoo, my bad.
Probably has to do with the temperature where you live though... It's different in colder climates, which is apparently most of the world if that's really the coldest time of year. I'd suggest to try showering with just water once in a while. It should remove most of the sweat and odor, without attacking you skin.
Yeah I think when most people say they shower every day, they don't mean they are literally washing everywhere with soap. I shower every day (yes it's hot here too) but shampoo hair maybe twice a week, soap on my whole body usually only once a month or so and usually because I want to exfoliate. Most showers I am very selective in what actually gets washed.
Hmm fair point.
Ha ha I always guilt my wife with these commercials. "Do you need that?" She hates those annoying commercials. There the equivalent to all these dumb men's soap commercials for crap like this. https://www.drsquatch.com/
A fundamental tenet of marketing, the art of separating dollars from your wallet, is to make you feel that you are less. That you are deficient, unless you look like so and so, have such and such, so buy this and that. Consume baby, consume.
But specifically saying there is a surge across all America is anecdotal. People from different regions get different advertising, broadcast wise and different search results.
This is on cable TV. I don't see ads online because I'm not a fucking idiot. I think cable ads are the same across the country but I'm not sure.
Cable tv ads are def not the same across the country. Differ region to region, city to city, age group to age group, time slot to time slot, and are highly targeted just like online ads.
Cable ads aren't the same across the country, and very soon won't be the same across the city. Addressable TV will bring personalized ads no matter what you're watching.
As to why you may see a bunch of ads for similar products all of a sudden, there are a couple causes. When a new company/product comes on the market, they may flood the airwaves with ads to get their name out there, or they may not be familiar with how buying and scheduling TV ads works and will cluster things together so it seems like a barrage instead of spread out over longer periods. Also, when new competition comes to the market, the current leaders get nervous and increase advertising to retain their customers and try to keep them from changing brands. Lastly, it's the phenomenon about noticing something which causes you to notice it even more (I.e. "there weren't as many of [my car] on the road before I started driving one.")
That's interesting. I avoid ads...so I'm not seeing what you're seeing. I think my balls get a bit of a smell after a day, but like a nice, mild balls smell. My pits, man, my fucking pits...they go rancid in about a day's time, definitely in 2-3. Simply stating as a matter of fact, gotta deal with my pits before my balls.
Switch from regular deodorant to an Alum block
Looks like a piece of ice. Shower normally, dry up, then run the block on cold water and apply... Let it be a few mins and dry your pits
You can thank me by passing the tip to the next person in need ;-)
I'm talking ads you can't avoid on TV. Yeah I'm so old I don't have a screen in my face but across the room.
Maybe switch to antiperspirant? I did that many years ago and it really helped.
Well it all goes bad anyway, it's just good to clean up. I do not use antiperspirants, I don't like the idea of shoving stuff into my pores to block bodily functions. Those are kind of addictive, like if you're on them & don't use them, sometimes I feel like the problem is even worse. Like your body is purging because you stopped it up with aluminum.
I used antiperspirants until late HS, early college; it stained, discolored my shirts. I stopped using antiperspirant, and the staining stopped, too.
