There is this Deodorant called "Mitchum". It's really good and you can either get 24hr or 48hrs that it stays on for. Since I have been wearing it, it has made me never smell. My whole family uses it and thinks it's great!!! It's about £2.33 per bottle which might be a bit expencive, but trust me it works!!!!! You should try it!!

It's not the sweat that causes you to smell, it's bacteria. So don't worry about getting a super strong "anti-persperant" unless you're just really worried about wet armpits as well. I find deodorant crystals to be very effective. You can only apply it to clean, non-stinky pits though. It won't work for a re-application. If it's a day that I know i'll be very active (or nervous...that can make you stink more), I will use the crystal first, then a scented deodorant on top of that. Another great option for smell/bacteria elimination is tea tree oil. Diet can also affect your smell....you might want to do a little "internet research" on that topic ("eliminate body odor" or "foods that eliminate body odor" gets some good results).
Another thing is cotton fabrics breathe better & allow pits to air-out ect. thus somewhat less smell. Synthetic & tight fitting shirts can lead to more stink.

Try using a product that is BOTH an antipersperant and a deodorant, since if you only use a deodorant, you will still perspire and this may still cause a smell. Also, try different products, as some will work better with your chemistry than others.

Secret makes a clinical strength deodorant. It works wonders. It even stays on after a few days and thru showers. Give it a try.
What happens is your hormones and chemicals will often change from time to time in your body and sometimes what works for awhile will no longer work and you need to switch.

I personally can't use the same deodorant more than 3 months cuz I'll get stinky.
Try changing your deodorant brand often sweetie.
Also, I have no clue why, when I shave it stinks faster than when I don't!! what's up with that!!!!??? This will be my next question.

I'm not sure how old you are but make sure if you have hair under there, you shave it. The hair can cause it to smell as well. Make sure you wash your underarms thoroughly. Keep deodorant with you at all times and don't be afraid to apply it throughout the day.

Shower daily, wash well. Never apply deodorant to unclean armpits.

Try using a deodorant/antiperspirant. A sports brand may be in need

just keep applying the deodorant, wash the area regularly with warm soapy water
if you find one deodorant isn't working then switch brands
if it becomes a certain problem and nothing works see your doctor they may be able to help
