The poll of 2,000 US millennial men, commissioned by Old Spice Total Body Deodorant and conducted by OnePoll, found 72% of men are anxious about how their body smells on any typical day.

Body odor was found to be a heavy weight on men’s minds: 52% worry they have body odor and aren’t aware of it. Nearly as many (51%) have concerns they don’t know how to fix their body odor. Still, 59% said they’d want someone to tell them if they have bad body odor.

The body parts men are most concerned about when it comes to odor include their armpits (71%), neck (40%), head and hair (39%), arms (30%) and hands (25%).
