just want to say that it is only in the underarm part of the tops, no where else.

Well I know bicarbonate of soda absorbs bad smells, why not try sprinkling some on the area involved and leave the tops overnight? In the morning just empty off the bicarb and then wash as normal.
Hope this helps!

If they are white, bleach them. If not, I use some OxyClean and the highest temperature setting for that type of clothes. This happens to my BF and my son's clothes alot. Sometimes, if they are really smelly, I try soaking them first, or putting some extra detergent in the water. Also, make sure that there is not too much clothes per load. Also, a good detergent goes a long way. I have tried less expenive brands like Purex, but end up going back to Tide or Gain b/c they just clean the clothes better.

Wet the inside underarm area and spead bicarbonate of soda on the offending part. Leave for half an hour and then wash as normal. You wouldn't need to do this on every wash. The same method can be used on linings of mens' suits, rinsing off the sodium bicarb. by dabbing thoroughly with water. I did worry that their armpits might bubble up but that doesn't seem to happen. lol.

I would recommend febreeze, I'm not sure if they have it over here but it's basically a spray-on cleaner that kills odoer-causing bacteria; if you can't find that or it doesn't work try using a detergent that is specifically anti-bacterial, as the remaining smell is usually cause by the organisms regular washing fails to kill. If neither of those work a last ditch effort would be baking soda, you know how it absorbs odors in your fridge? Same basic concept! Dampen the are and then gently rub a layer or two of baking soda over it and let it sit, then wash as usual. Hope one of those helps!!!

there is nothing you can do to remove sweat from clothes. stains or the smell. sadly. i have this problem also. I used to spend a fortune on keeping myself in tops. I could only wear them a few times and they are ruined. Your best bet is to go to the doctor and ask him to prescribe an antiperspirant deodorant that addresses the problem of the sweating, that way no more stained/smelly gear. Hope this helps. or there is a deodorant that i found very good, thats called Mitchum.

I have never had this happen after washing. Maybe try soaking your tops before washing them. After you soak them then try to scrub the pit area and the toss them in the washer. Make sure you aren't putting to many clothes in and use the proper amount of detergent. See if this helps for you. Good luck.

Sweetheart, please don't be embarrassed over something that is totally regular, I absolutely have had numerous female associates in my years and all were different, all of them appeared different ,they tasted different and that all of them did issues when we were making love which change into different to the others. that is why the human race is so particular, none persons are symmetrically the same similar breast is different to the different one, one testicle hangs below the different one, each vagina has similarities yet different, you'll under no circumstances a penis the same as yet another one, it truly is what makes us human. the different element is you've gotten spoke of your lips at the same time as they were aroused and once you've seen yet another female she likely change into no longer aroused. that is totally regular do not problem and dint be embarrassed

Depending on the type of detergent you use. I've noticed the cheaper brands don't seem to clean clothes as well as name brand detergents. Also use a scoop of oxy clean with your detergent as well as bleach with your whites, and non cholrine bleach for your colors

Try soaking it overnight in a bucket of water with some laundry soap, then wash it.
