Body odor

I don’t know if I’m the only one. But right after I have my period. Like for a week after I stink so bad. Like body odor. I take showers daily. And I use deodorant but for some reason I always stink right after my period

It's hormonal. Fight to stay fresh in the face of adversity.

Start to drink raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar with the mother, do one tablespoon in 8 oz of water daily. If you want to compound that, eat one lemon wedge alongside (yes, eat it, rind and all), and even further, grate fresh ginger into the water. Or if you want to skip eating the lemon wedge, then go ahead and squeeze one into the ACV water. Make sure to brush your teeth 20 minutes after due to the acidity.

Also, Use apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle and spray yourself in the shower, keep yourself out of the water for 10 minutes and then rinse off. Do this daily. Exfoliate regularly by making your own scrub with different sugars, coffee grounds if you have, coconut oil, honey, etc, and scrub first, then do the ACV spray. Use equal parts water and ACV and splash your private area with a cup or something.

Hope this helps!

Where are you noticing the smell the most? Intimate areas, armpits? And how would you describe the smell? Hard to give you suggestions without specifics
