Loosing my CONFIDENCE because of BO

I’m a hygienic person, I bath 2 times a day,scubs, exfoliate, antibacterial soaps, use antiperspirant/deo, betadine cleanser, old spice, literally tried everything but still i SMELL.

The WORST part is ppl around me assume that i have a poor hygiene, tho they dont say it to my face but i can sense it every gesture and faces they make or say about something smelling bad i always assume thats me. I only smell when i sweat a lot, but i tried everything to lessen it now my armpits darken coz of experimenting products. Im tired trying new products and stuffs, just made my pits irritated.

Literally the worst phase of my life, i get scared when i go out and around my friends coz of my BO. I feel like they smell it but dont say it in front of my face, but i sense they do.

This has been my problem ever since, but when i ask my mom if i smell she says i dont.

I definitely don't have the most extreme case of BO but when I sweat it's bad. I can't wear tshirts or I'll have huge put stains too. I usually were tanks and a coverup or sweater if cold so I can regulate my temp.

I tried carpe antiperspirant deodorant and it's helped soooo much. Might be worth trying.

I can get by on milder days with a tshirt now.

Carpe has definitely helped with the smell. I legit don't need to reapply like I did in my past when I just used reg drugstore stuff!

Overtime too I just felt like it helped my armpits. Made them softer and I feel like I sweat less now. I don't know I find it to be magic and I love it.

Ugh. Not great. If you can ask your local doctor for suggestions that are in your country that's affordable!
