Summer Sweat and Odor Concerns
As the hot summer months approach, many people experience discomfort upon waking due to night sweats and body odors. A recent survey conducted by Aogumi Co., Ltd., in conjunction with the launch of their body mist product, NIBODYMIST, sheds light on this pressing issue, particularly among men in their 40s and 50s.
Survey Overview
The survey, which took place between June 30 and July 1, 2025, engaged 1,015 men aged 40s to 50s, focusing on their experiences and perceptions regarding summer sleep sweat and body odor. Here are some key findings:
Frequency of Night Sweats
When respondents were asked about how often they experience night sweats, a significant 37.1% reported experiencing them every morning. Additionally, 36.8% mentioned they feel night sweats a few times a week, and 15.6% noted experiencing them monthly. This indicates that a large number of middle-aged men are dealing with night sweats regularly.
Concerns About Morning Odor
In terms of awareness of body odors before heading to work, about 59.2% admitted to feeling concerned about their scent, with 18.9% saying it happens often and 40.3% stating it happens occasionally. This highlights the increased concerns among older men, who often face changes in sweat gland functionality and hormonal balance.
Time Constraints for Showering
When asked whether they have time to shower in the morning, a striking 66.2% of respondents indicated they often feel they lack the time, while only 33.8% felt they have the luxury of showering before work. The routine of busy mornings filled with household tasks and commuting leaves little time for personal hygiene routines.
Need for Portable Odor Solutions
Interestingly, when asked if they carry odor management items during outings, 48.6% admitted they do not, which is a significant number given the previous answers indicating concerns over odor. Only 22.3% claimed to have these items regularly on hand, while 29.1% said they only carry them when needed.
The survey further explored which items these respondents use, revealing that 74.7% rely on sweat wipes, followed by 42.7% using antiperspirant spray, and 21.7% opting for wet tissues. These choices reflect a preference for portable, effective solutions that can be quickly applied and offer immediate relief.
Priorities in Selecting Odor Management Products
When asked what factors were most important when selecting odor care items, 58.0% of respondents cited price, followed by 45.0% who valued the strength or type of fragrance, and 42.8% who prioritized portability. This demonstrates a strong consideration for not only efficacy but also how seamlessly these products can be integrated into daily life.
Expectations for Shower-Substitute Products
A significant 83% of respondents expressed that having a suitable product to address body odors would be beneficial, indicating a high demand for odor management solutions. When asked about desired features in a product for use when unable to shower, the top responses included a refreshing sensation (66.9%), non-greasy texture (52.9%), and versatility for use on the entire body (46.2%).
Demand for All-Purpose Mist Products
Inquiring about interest in a body mist that is refreshing and suitable for sensitive skin, nearly 90% stated they would like to use such a product. This suggests a strong market need for an all-encompassing odor care solution, ideal for busy lifestyles while maintaining cleanliness and confidence.
Based on these insights, it is evident that many men seek effective yet convenient odor management solutions that integrate seamlessly into their busy lives.
