Freshly vomited sour milk gets the "baby smell" point across for me.

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 12 points 1 week ago

If your baby predominantly smells like shit, you may need to be changing diapers more often...

I hope you and the other folks in this thread saying poo don't have children you leave smelling like this :) you're supposed to change them when they do that friend.

I change myself straight away too. Smelling like that sucks. Smelling like baby powder is nice though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I change myself straight away too.

🤔

Anyway, I don't need to bring more people into this world.

I'm incontinent friend. Life sucks, I try to find the silver linings ☺️

What, lingering shit and stale milk breath?

I remember people giving Biden shit for smelling his granddaughter's head, right in that spot in the middle of the scalp that always smells like a newborn baby. People make me so sad for the little wholesome things its obvious they missed out on, so they label it "predatory".

Yeah, outrage distribution networks are awful. I still smell my 15-month-old's scalp after a bath. I'm going to miss it when the "baby smell" completely disappears.

I fucking love not smelling like anything. Might be my autism and adhd. I'm elated when I find deodorant, body soap and hair soap that barely has a smell, or at least a smell that vanishes quickly.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Same. I used to like Degree because it had barely any scent and actually worked as an antiperspirant. But then they changed the formula and started adding scents while it does fuck all to prevent sweating. 😩

I heard, quite a while back, that while deodorants are basically just smelly persistent goo that helps trap and mask your most stinky zones, antiperspirants actually act by having an element that binds to your sweat glands, and this can actually cause them to block up and cause dermatological problems.

Is this still, or was it ever accurate?

I dunno, maybe its more or less like many kinds of make up, where that only becomes a problem if you don't wash it off after use?

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Antiperspirants use aluminum compounds that clog glands and block sweat from exiting pores. Reactions to this process vary a lot.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Ah so that still is the case then, ok!

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Soo, shitty diapers and baby powder it is

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 4 points 1 week ago

That's...not what (many) babies smell like most of the time.

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 14 points 1 week ago

At the hospital, one of the nurses joked that whenever a fellow medical professional walked past a newborn they'd always ask for a hit of that new baby smell. Coke for the neonatal wing of the hospital.

just don’t use talc to get that smell

Smelling like Teen Spirit: asl, hello, asl

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 5 points 1 week ago

I dont want to smell not-adults.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Wasn't there an old thing for women's perfume that they should "smell like the underside of my mistress"
