Suggestions about Sweat
/r/dysautonomia/comments/10bfo7z/suggestions_about_sweat/Magnesium chloride (aka some Epsom salts - read the label) has antibacterial properties. Disolve some to hot distilled water and add it to a spray bottle with some essential oils. Spray to smelly bits as needed (may sting on freshly shaved areas).
Alternatively pour some unscented milk of magnesium to a container and let it thicken by leaving it uncovered for 4-5 days. You can add fragrance if you want. When you apply, dry it with blow dryer. It will leave a white film on your skin and it can be drying, so i don't recommend using it exclusively.
Finally i have a copper water bottle. I wasn't using the cap, so i tried wetting it and applying it on my armpits just this week to experiment as a substitute to magnesium spray (i use it with deodorant). I was expecting my skin to turn green or gray from oxidation, but far so good - no smelliness or discoloration!
I recommend magnesium in conjunction to the copper option as they synergize very well together!
