how do you get rid bad odors (armpit)other than using deodorant?

Answer 1

Equal parts corn starch and baking soda is a good choice, it will absorb odors.

Tomato juice - which is used to get of skunk odors on dogs - will get rid of odors. Add 2 cups to your bath water and soak of 20 minutes or Use a clot or pad and rub some under your arms before your bath or shower. This will also help to brighten the underarm skin.

Answer 2

The first thing you should do is wash as often as you need to remove odor-causing bacteria. Using deodorant soap and rinsing thoroughly will reduce odor and limit exposure to deodorants. There are also hypoallergenic soaps out there like Nivea that work fairly well. At work or school, keep a stash of wet wipes (like unscented baby wipes) in your locker to take to the restroom and do a quick easy wash-up. A spray of no-rinse body wash on the wipe will work even better.
Be sure to wear fresh clothes every day, and when washing use the instructions on the laundry soap to get clothing cleaner. Soaps with baking soda are very good at removing odors while not irritating skin.
How is your diet? Meat eaters will have a stronger odor than vegetarians, but chlorophyll supplements can help mitigate that stronger odor.
Wearing perfume or cologne will help a little, but only a little.
Lastly, for persistant body odor problems, you may need a doctor or dermatologist MD to treat the problem, esp if all the above fails.

Answer 3

Sweat glands (apocrine glands) under the arms and in the groin secrete a substance that is the major non-food/drink related cause of body odor. This substance, which contains protein, carbohydrates and lipids, is often secreted by a surge in sex hormones caused by tense moments or emotional stress. It is then quickly attacked by bacteria, causing odor.

To rid yourself of the odor, Cleanse your armpits and groin with an anti-bacterial soap and put baking soda on these areas.

there are some things you can take internally, like mint tablets. look up organic body odor solutions. also of course there is perfume, and probably there are certain types of soap that help as well. also try changing your deodorant, maybe you just need a different kind. also the clothes you wear, how often you wash them, and the type of detergent you use can all be factors.

You can get rid of it by washing thoroughly under your armpits with warm soap and water. Dry them. Smear baking soda under your underarms. It can get a little messy but it works.

Answer 8

I actually use soap and a nail brush to scrub my armpits to make sure I'm getting all that bacteria, which causes the smell, out of there.

I don't know if you are a boy or a girl but if you are girl the scrubbing also reduces or gets rid of ingrown hairs.
