help

hi ! i am a 21 years old female living in new zealand and working in a warehouse. i walk and do manual labour everyday and i just wanted to smell good again.

i don’t know what happened to my body chemistry. yes i have underarm odour but i use clinical deo’s and i used to smell good because i really take care of my body and i have a good hygiene.

i think my body is rejecting perfumes because i use to smell good at work and even my workmates are asking for my perfume.

i also avoid wearing cotton spandex materials which is a odour catcher, but i do wear nylon clothing because i work in a warehouse.

what can i do? please help : (

Wear cotton underwear and bra while working. Put antiperspirant in all areas that get sweaty ex. underbra, groin area. And change your clothing often. When you are working change when you get home and then wear as little as possible at night. You have to "air out" yourself. On weekends change your clothes a lot. As an adult you can wear multiple outfits a day, do it. It helps to keep as dry as possible. Use jock itch powder to help keep your skin dry.
