How do you get rid of bad body odour???

Question

I bath everyday, always make sure I shave under my armpits and use deoderant everyday but I'm still finding that 5 minutes later I'm starting to smell. I do sweat a bit but I wouldn't say its excessive. Any ideas?!?!

Answer 1

Switch deodorants. Try a gel deodorant if you haven't already.

Answer 2

Make sure that you're drinking 2 litres of water a day. In the same way that it dilutes urine it will also do this to sweat thus the if you sweat x amount a lot less will be of the toxins that your body is trying to get rid of. A healthy diet will also help in the same way.
Also yep check out the biogen (?sp) that the guy/gal above mentioned(it's called deodrant stone in the uk) which works by the salts in the crystals stop the bacteria from multiplying rather than deodrants which are designed purely just to cover up the smell (so you end up with a lovely smell of perfume and BO with them (!))

Answer 3

If you are keeping yourself very clean, as you seem to be, then it might be a specific medical problem to do with the make-up of your particular sweat. Go and see your doctor and discuss, sometimes it can be controlled by diet I think.

One other suggestion - make sure you are using a good washing powder and a hot enough wash - if your clothes aren't completely clean then the bacteria that cause the smells and the smells themselves can linger and so when you wear the clothes and sweat on them a bit/warm them up, the odour is released again. This will particularly happen with artificial fabrics, so make sure you always try and wear natural fabrics like cotton.

Answer 4

Go to see your doctor, it may be a health problem. It could be your diet, garlic particularly can cause both bad breath and body odour. Ask your nearest and dearest to tell you if THEY can smell anything, you may not smell to other people for it could be that you have a sinus infection or even catarrh, if this proves to be the case then, obviously seek treatment, but in the meantime while you can still smell the odour and no-one else can, dab a little very strong perfume on the end of your nose.

Answer 5

well either its genetic and you cant do squat about it, or more optimistically a change in diet maybe good for you, i'm not going to give an entire list but just a generally better diet should be good. And most disgustingly you could go for a **** more often, it makes sense, if you get stuff out your system faster less chance of it going
"bad". more fibre should increase speed of digestion STRAIGHT THROUGH and all that. but not too much as you'l spend the rest of your life on the shitter. theres always more powerful deodrants but tbh not really that good, i could go off on a bit of a tangent here and talk about how women choose men by smell, and how increased use of deodrants has led to increased divorce rates because they make wrong decisions. but i dont know if your a dude or not so mehh. soo dont be too bothered about it, take plenty of fluids and remember feed a cold and starve the flu, or somthing, IF not smell you later! sorry

Answer 8

It sounds to me like you are doing what you can to be clean. This may be out of your hands. Is the smell all over or is it coming from your head, hands, feet, pores, or just certain area?
I suggest that you see a Dr. and discuss this with them. It's probably a minor medical condition which needs to be treated. Good luck.

Answer 9

try perspire x or declor. You put this stuff on the night before then wash off in the morning I use it once a week and keeps perspiration at bay for the week. Available at your pharmacy or a product that is of a similar nature

Answer 10

Try an Anti-perspirant Roll-On its best used ,up. down motion several imes under each arm 5 times or so, it should reduce the sweating too.

Answer 11

Switch deodorants. Also try a body deodorant.
Or even baby powder works well on the body!
