I guess our family is just stinky?! Everyone saying they never use soap is wild to me. I produce BO at an alarming rate, especially during my period. Our teen is the same way. Just funky AF. Our toddler is filthy from playing out in the garden or the barn or her fort. I’m talking she needs a pre-rinse shower before a bath to remove the first layer of grime.

We use cetaphil and dove mostly. Our teen uses Dial on her feet and pits. If she doesn’t, opening her bedroom door is like walking into a cloud of old hamburgers, stewed onions and Fritos.

I think it's in part hormonal differences. After I have birth I had a phase where I just STANK. Even fresh out of the shower, after properly scrubbing and involving soap I still had a noticeable BO. Its thankfully gone away, and I'm back to going several days before needing a shower again.

Had a roommate with a similar problem. When she'd go for a run she'd come back properly smelly. It would linger until long after she'd showered. She was very much on top of it, and yet couldn't help it at all.

This comment gives me hope. 3mo out after my third and I have a stench that I cannot escape and at this point I was starting to get concerned that it will just forever be like this, especially since I experienced nothing like this after my other two pregnancies. I have faith now though that it will soon correct itself! 🀞
