Poll: Nearly half of young Americans don't use deodorant

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – A growing number of young people are ditching deodorant.

Nearly 40% of people ages 18-24 have not used deodorant in the past month, according to a poll by YouGov.com. 

Additionally, 48% of those surveyed said they haven’t bought deodorant in the past year, saying they didn’t think they needed it. 

Here are some of the other statistics found: 

  • 31% of 25-34-year-olds haven’t used deodorant in the last month 
  • 37% of 25-34-year-olds haven’t bought it in the last year
  • 22% of 35-44-year-olds haven’t used deodorant in the last month
  • 16% of 45-year-olds and older don’t use deodorant 

It seems like Americans are also debating whether or not to wash their hair every day, with most voting they’re split on the issue.
