I used to be able to skip antiperspirant and just use non-scented deodorant.
And then I birthed a kid. My hormone balance has never been the same and I stink more. Deodorant is a necessity now.
People are different and need different levels of hygiene control.
Probably you are overthinking it. Even bathing is new to humans, you don't "need" it
Bathing is NOT new to humans. For example lots of Native Americans used to bath regularly. And some used plant saponins or even soap (wood ash and fat) to help clean up.
Oh I adore when a stranger on the internet tells me I'm overthinking my own body.
Bathing is by no means new to humans. Plus, we've been masking our funk in different ways for thousands of years.
I suppose I should have clarified as "daily bathing"
