Answer 1

Depending upon what part of the body your odor is coming from there are a number of things you can do.

Taking a shower twice a day is good. Change your undergarments atleast twice a day. Using Shower to Shower and remembering to get some in all the creases of your skin. You will need to use a good amount and sometimes it gets on your clothes so be careful. Try different types of under arm deodorants. Sometimes one type doesnt work as well as others.

In the more feminine area, using CORN Starch only and NEVER talc. The only powder that doesnt have talk is CORNSTARCH BABY POWDER. Be careful because there is regular baby powder and cornstarch. If you tend to have a flab belly, lift your belly and apply corn starch underneath and to your feminine area. A panty liner works well also. NEVER USE Deodorized panty liners as this sometimes makes more odor problems. The main key is....SHOWER, then POWDER, SHower to Shower above the waist and CornStarch Powder below the waist.
As always see the doctor...sometimes there are health causes to body odors. Deodorants in the feminine area are often discouraged by doctors because they can cause yeast infections or mask a more serious infection.

Answer 2

ok, first I'm going to assume that you have tried the deordorant option and that it isn't working for you. I think we have two options here. The first is that the odor is coming from the axilla (underarm) and that you probably have hyperhydrosis. This is a medical condition where people (especially on the heavier side) sweat excessively. If this is the case, may I suggest the antipersperant (different than deordorant) "Drysol". It works wonders. The second option is that the odor could be elsewhere such as vaginal etc (since you posted this under women's health, I'm assuming you are female) in which case I would suggest a female deordorant specific for the area or baby power which can be applied librally.
Just remember, if this a problem for you, it is most likely a problem that others experience themselves, only you are a step ahead by recognizing that you might have a medical condition and you are seeking help.
Hope this helps.

Answer 3

You can try using cornstarch in the areas that you are sweating, armpits, neck, back, below the waistline etc. This should help, also try to wear cotton undergarments as well. Drink plenty of water, stay away from foods that are high in sodium and foods that make you smell like garlic, onions etc. Good luck!

Answer 4

You might want to take a look at what you are eating. What you put in your body usually comes out in your pores when you sweat. Dove deoderant and daily baths will help. You might want to also carry around some baby wipes and wipe off during the day.

Answer 5

you can take chlorophyll suppliments and it will make your sweat smell sweet. you can find it at any vitamin shoppe. everyone who works in a hot environment should take it...trust me...you probably aren't the only one that stinks...you are just an easy target.

people smell nasty when they sweat. over weight people sweat more, thus the stench.

oh, and only get the pill form. anything else tastes bad and you wont want to ingest it.
