    Yeah I mean, ask someone first lol Not sure why you haven't done that yet. Might not even be an issue.

    I'm not sure if it really affects BO so much, but maybe it's a diet thing as well.
  • I had this problem and tried everyyyyyyyy deodorant.. seriously... Then I discovered "Nivea Stress Protect" ROLL ON VERSION! Try it! it's only about $5. the non roll on one doesn't work for me so make sure you try the liquid roll on one that comes in a glass bottle.
  • This sounds odd but I promise it works for me. I have a ziplock baggie of straight baking soda in my tub. After I wash and rinse my body I get some baking soda in my hand and add a little bit of water and rub it on my pits, let it sit for a sec, and rinse it off. I read somewhere that it leaves a little barrier on your skin and I use deodorant and honestly have found a tremendous improvement. I sweat like crazy and am always worried about funky smells and pit stains, and this really helps. Hope you find something that works for you.

    Well,if you are talking about sweating during working out, that is normal and deoderant won't prevent all sweating. Your body is made to sweat.

    Deodorant in a pinch....if you're some place and can't take a shower before heading out to work or have some fun somewhere, you can use hand sanitizer in the places you'd use deodorant. It kills the bacteria that causes the odor, so can give you a bit of a reprieve.

    I actually get Botox treatments every 6 months - insurance pays for it and it helps tremendously!

    I recently started using the Secret 48 hour deodorant. It doesn't last 48 hours, but it works really well and lasts a lot longer than the deodorant I was using previously.

    try to cut down on salt. i have tired a salt free diet and i dont smell any more. i did this diet a few years ago (for 2 weeks i was 100% salt free) and i did not smell for 6 months. there was no need for deodorant. i sweated but it had no taste (face sweat) or smell (under arms). we are what we eat. examine you diet. are you eating a lot of garlic, onions, spices or salt?
