The odor is generated by an ecosystem of complex life forms. A more civilized approach is to beam these life forms out, to be resettled via a network of long range transporters to specially ecoformed armpit planets where they can live fulfilling lives. | |

But yes, I was commenting on that on a response higher up—the vast majority of these deodorant features are workarounds for transportation and easy application, which the synthesizer itself makes kind of unnecessary and even inefficient. Imagine Not-Starfleet would even have a regulation against needless replicator abuse. | |

I suspect it would be single-use pads. A sheet that is applied, and 'dissolves' on the skin, perhaps. 'Spray paint' would be different technology than our method as well - direct application by thousands of nanobots programmed to deposit packets of paint only on a specific surface, like powder coat. Once the product is delivered, the bots are recycled. No need for pressurization at all. Technopomorphosism meets anachronism. | |
