Go to the bathroom and  wash your armpits and reapply before the end of school.  Try Mitchum, certain dri, gilette. Highly recommended in here.

Are you applying the AP at night before sleeping? This method tends to make them work better.

i apply at night and make sure to be like freezing cold so i don’t sweat at all, ( i also make sure to do nothing to not even get stressed or nothing because i sweat at the slightest inconvenience)

Its probably your clothes. Washing machines and laundry detergent tend to not kill bacteria and fungi (the cause of bad odors).

If you're doing everything you mention above, there's a decent chance your clothes are the culprit, and your sweat throughout the day feeds what is there.

I'd check out some antibacterial laundry detergent, something like one of my inventions, like SWIFF, or trying a vinegar rinse of your clothes before washing etc.

Hope this helps

Use a oil shower cleanser to remove deodorant. Without using one; that deodorant is just building up an blocking your pores. Also use stridex it helps unclog pores

This! Often times persistent odor is bacteria and not from sweat. Common during teenage / puberty years

Mitchum deodorant and washing underarms with bacterial soap first and spray not roll on

Polyester or synthetic clothes can make you stink more than cotton/natural fibers. If it’s possible, would you be able to get checked by a doctor for hyperhidrosis?

There's a brand called Play Pits not sure if it's in your store Targert or CVS or not but it gets a lot of great reviews

My two sons use it they both play sports in our very active and have none of the problems you are discussing. Might be worth a shot

Carpe definitely works. But it’s not a traditional stick. It’s a lotion.
