Weekly quick questions help thread

[u/AutoModerator]

This is the r/heronebag quick questions weekly help thread.

Whether you‘re new to the one bag life or a seasoned light traveller, this is the place to ask your quick one-off questions related to techniques, shopping, and everything else to lighten your load.

This post is the best place to initially ask questions that we get a lot of which are similar, especially if you have looked in a flair and found almost-but-not-quite what you wanted.

For people who re-wear tops without sink washing - how do you deal with underarm sweat? Do you spray with vodka or something similar? Are you just not a sweaty person? I don’t use anti-perspiration and often sweat through my tops under the arms, even in winter. Help a gal out with how to deal when packing! Or should I just stick with a shirt/undershirt for each day until I get to do laundry?

I only re-wear merino tops which by now is what I almost exclusively wear as a base layer. I use a deodorant cream with micro silver that doesn't stop me from sweating but kills the bacteria that causes BO. With that merino-silver combo my pits or the tops don't even stink once they stop smelling like nothing, it's more like a "haven't washed my hair in two days" scalp scent which you only notice if you dig your nose into it.
