Brief summary
This is an open-label observational single-arm clinical trial to study the efficacy of a commercial deodorant and its effect on odor, clothing (stains), and quality of life. It is hypothesized that the deodorant marketed as Bite deodorant will mask bodily odor in participants, will not stain clothes, and improve the quality of life in trial participants.
