A deodorant does not replace washing your body. The combination of both smells is the most terrifying. I hate the smell of all deodorants, so don't use them. But I shower sufficiently, you won't smell me from a distance. Promised.

How much distance are we talking about?
You choose. Plus I bet I won't like to smell your deodorant. Like most perfumes others are applying. Worst is if deodorant or perfume is used instead of washing yourself. This last comment is not on you by no means.
So I shower relatively regular and definitely before I go out meeting people. But deodorant I keep forgetting since I started working from home when Covid began. I don’t go out often and for going to the grocery store I don’t care, so it’s not ingrained into me anymore. But I don’t think it’s so important since I just showered anyways.
How do people not smell bad?
My clothes are drenched within a few hours, if I’m sitting somewhere then there is a puddle under my feet in less than 30 minutes
Even in the shower I’m dripping/have BO while using soap
Wait... what? Do you live in the Amazon or something? You should probably go see a doctor
Canada
I was told not to worry about it
That's irregular. Have it checked by a medical professional and get a second or third opinion if you already were at the doctor.
There is cases where the underlying reason can not be discovered. Those are usually harmless. Pretty much all cases where an underlying reason can be determined can be tested for and for almost all of them should get you medical treatment. They reach from not good to serious danger to your health.
Regular bathing isn't what you want, frequent bathing, that's important. What good is it if someone bathes with great regularity on the first of every month?
It appears that a number of people in this comment section just downvote everyone that does not use deodorant for any reason. As a test: Deodorant never quite grew on me, I started hating the rather extreme and sometimes even pungent smell as a teenager. I shower (twice) daily to every third day depending on season, daily routine and other factors.
I can almost smell you from here
Oh right now you definitely can, I am currently very sick and can barely get out of bed. Smelling non-sick is NOT a priority right now.
It seems my test was successfull. Probably the same 4 people everytime.
