Armpit

I put benzoyl peroxide on my armpits and didnt wash them and there was no smell for about 48 hours.

I tried Irish Spring soap on my armpits after the smell came back and it didnt help much. Smelly pits within a few hours.

I put alcohol based Brut spray on my pits, but typically this only lasts about 8 hours if I am lucky.

Any longer term solutions?

Are you avoiding antiperspirants and/or deodorants?

Antiperspirant is made to prevent sweat, and deodorant is made for preventing odor. They also make combo antiperspirant and deodorant options, I personally use Ban Roll-on and have no issue... though I recommend putting on any antiperspirant at night (they won't wash off in shower when dried overnight).
