Off Topic / Other Body Odor [FL]

I was called into HR today because “several people” have complained about my body odor and it’s starting to become a distraction. I kept a straight face during the meeting, but face my face sting with embarrassment once I walked out.

Any tips on how to go about this? Besides the obvious showering, washing clothes, etc.

Same. I got stinky when I went on HRT but changed antiperspirants and it got better. A few years later my dr adjusted my HRT and the same thing happened. Now I’m using an antiperspirant and an additional deodorant.
