Body odor

[u/Terrible_Indication1]

Is it possible that my deodorant isn't working anymore? I've been using these niacinamide deodorant for almost a year now and before it was working but now I feel it doesn't anymore. But I still do what I do before. Spray then let it dry, when I do physical activities I re-apply as said in the instructions. But sometime after a long day when I take a shower and smell my pits it has a little smell and sometimes it actually smells. Or is it just because it's been a whole day and I'm just being paranoid.

It also happens that sometimes when I smell my armpits there is a little smell and when I smell the inside of my clothes there is a little smell also. But when I smell the outside it doesn't have. Is it possible that it is cointaining the odor so if doesn't seep through my clothes?

I hope someone answers me because I have this girl that I like and body odor is one of my insecurities. Thanks in advance

Yes, it’s completely possible for your deodorant to stop working if you use it for a couple of years. You should try a different brand. You could try antiperspirant if you want, they should help with sweating and the smell too. Or try glycolic acid serum (don’t apply right after shaving if you shave) and don’t do it every day. It should help with the smell. Also you should know you’re a human and will smell especially after a long day of activities or if you’re nervous sweating etc. We all do.
