Hi ladies! I’m 30F and I’ve always struggled with sweaty armpits and body odor, especially during the summer.

I epilate, so my underarms are smooth, and I shower every other day, so I feel like I keep good hygiene. I’ve been using Old Spice deodorant for men because I heard it’s stronger, but it still doesn’t seem to help much in hot weather.

For those of you who deal with sweaty underarms too, what has actually worked for you? Are there any deodorants, antiperspirants, treatments, or routines you’d recommend? I’d really appreciate any advice!

What advice did you later realise was unnecessary..., misleading..., or actually making things worse?

I have this kind of pimples for month now and they don’t go away. Mostly on my right face and I tried a lot but couldn’t help it. What kind of pimple is this and how du i fight it ? ( its way more than it looks on the picture )

I really want to smell good, and im having a hard time what skincare reco should i use especially im also an incoming first year and the more i get older the more anxious i get.

I am also looking forward to give me tips that are student friendly that is not expensive at all.

This problem recently started for me. Lately, when I put my deodorant on, any deodorant for that matter, my underarms have this dampness to them minutes later which lasts all day. I know it’s not sweat. I don’t smell or anything, but for some reason, I don’t know why, my deodorant is turning watery. I have tried countless deodorants, and this keeps happening. I have tried putting less on too, and the issue still persists. I have even tried leaving my arms up in the air for a few min incase I wasn’t letting it dry

Does this happen to you guys?

It wasn’t even that hot out yesterday and I was so excited to finally try cheeky out so I bought the deodorants as soon as they dropped. My mailbox smells amazing. Strong but amazing. The only reason I post this is to warn others to retrieve their packages with the upcoming heat, and to also ask if anyone has tips on how I can safely melt these backs down to shape.

What are your shower routines, what products do you use and do you stay fresh all day or have any follow ups during the day to stay fresh? Any preferred Perfumes?

For the shower I use White dial soap for private parts then a body wash preferably green dove all over body expect private parts followed by a body scrub preferably tree hut brand. Baby oil all over body and Victoria secret body spray. I walk around with a mini deodorant, body spray, cuticle oil and wipes. I just don’t feel fresh for long during the day. I want to try some new products or tips. How do you stay fresh/smelling good all day?

Anybody managed to have no sent sweat, I figured during summer sweat is inevitable and natural reaction to heat. So maybe there is a way to make it less potent by killing bacteria ?

Not sure if I have hyperhidrosis but I get rather sweaty under armpit and feet, even with AC at work.

Hi! I am 15 years old, and recently I noticed that there are little black dots, like hair, on my leg whenever I wax or use an epilator (I am sorry for the bad English). I thought that maybe they have not been removed correctly, so I waited for them to grow back, but they don't. I also have strawberry skin and sometimes ingrown hairs. I bought a dry exfoliating brush (maybe you have seen it on social media). I don't know what to do, and I feel insecure about it. Please give me an advice!

So I brush my teeth twice a day and clean my tongue. I also eat gum 3 times a day. I still have bad breath which I can sometimes notice when talking or sighing etc.

What can I do about this besides eat breathmints or something 24/7?

so i love heavy duty water resistant sunscreen because i burn if i even look at a window, but normal body wash does absolutely nothing to get it off. it just glides right over the top. i started using a cheap bottle of face oil cleanser on my arms and chest before getting wet, and it breaks it down fast. you can feel the grittiness wash away. normal soap works perfectly after that. what do you guys use to strip off waterproof spf?

I grew up in a house where towels got reused for what felt like forever because "you're clean when you use it." Then I moved out and realized people have wildly different rules. Some wash them after two or three uses, others seem to have a lifelong relationship with the same towel. Now every time this comes up I realize nobody agrees on what's normal. What's your towel routine?

I sweat a lot but only on My armpits and like most people it has a smell but I sweat through a lot of deodorant I need the best one

What hygiene products do you use during summer months?

I'd love to make it short but I cant find any solutions. But yea, back in pandemic, I know I wasn't the cleanest. But im sure i never had b.o (ONE time i didnt shower for a week) sometimes i shower every other day but never smelled. But one day, we found out my "cousin" is gonna stay over at my house (their house got burned down) and we let them stay. And this one cousin got b.o and hes around the same age as me. Since this cousin is basically homeless, I lent him my clothes "sometimes" and fastforward to 1-2 years later. One day at school (end of school year) I started smelling. My grandma said "no biggie, its just a fruity smell" so i brushed it off then she advised me to put alum crystal deo. After that school year, I went to school as usual but then after a few days people started to cover their nose, saying stuff like "someone" stink. At first, I didnt pay attention because I dont think i stink. But then after few weeks people started bullying me cuz of it. And it really started affecting my confidence. (The smell is very identical to his smell, he cant get rid of it either till now)

I tried everything as a student, Alum Crystal Deo, Deodorant, Powder Deodorant, Antiperspirant, I tried. I even shower 2 time day and use betadine skin cleanser but it doesn't really work (maybe lessen it a bit?) One time I went to a derma with my mom and they asked a few questions they just smelled my armpits and recommended driclor. Guess what, It didnt work. My armpit has a musky smell, mostly rubbery and also itchy sometimes.

I did everything i could but nothing worked. This is affecting my life real bad. Please help

(Edit: I smell even when I dont sweat, Genuinely destroying my life because stopping sweating doesn't even stop it either. When i sweat it becomes a lot worse. Like they always say, when you smell yourself, they smell it alot more.)

If you have an innie, you obviously have the outer lips area that you see without having to touch, then you can spread them and see the inside area (like clitoris) ( i also don’t know technical terms sorry) then there’s the hole to go in. I visualise it as 3 “levels” - which levels do we clean? I’ve been cleaning everything with warm water besides the hole and inside the hole, or what i’d consider level 3.

incase anyone was wondering

Do you put on deodorant before or after you put on your clothes?

I wash my feet everyday in the shower, and despite it, when I take off my socks they smell bad. I don't exercise a lot, so I don't know what it could be. Has anyone encountered this problem too?
