Have you ever tried certain dry?? Its a
type of deodorant that stops
perspiration... Kind of hard to explain
but it clogs up the pores in your arm pits
so you dont sweat it worked for me but try
it and see
hope I helped
good luck

I had the same problem after my second
child. It was so embarrassing! I tried
tons of different deoderants and this was
the combination that worked for me...
They make a natural deoderant that is made
of salt. It comes in a solid and lasts
forever. I put that on after I shower
while i'm still wet. The salt inhibits
bacteria growth which is what causes odor.
Once that is dry the only deoderant that
works for me is mitchem. Good luck.

What you need to understand is that
perspiration itself does not smell it is
odorless. However, your armpits are
warm, not well circulated with oxygen, and
when wet... Bacteria will grow quickly
and smell. This goes for all high-odour
parts of your body. (i.E. Feet with
socks on, genitila area, etc.)
what it sounds like is that you have a
bacteria problem (very common). Once you
perspire, the bacteria begins expanding
rapdily and making the bad smell. Most
deoderants will not help much in your
case, as they are designed to mask odour,
and anti-perspirants are designed to stop
you from perspiring. (clogging your pores
basically)
what you need is a good anti-bacterial
soap and you need to wash your whole body
down, top to bottom a few times in a day.
You also need to ensure your clothing is
bacteria free... Washing in the machine
isn't going to accomplish this...
Although most bacteria will die while in
the dryer. You will need to wash the
armpit areas of these clothes prior to
washing them.
Once this is done, use a good deoderant
like mitchum for women which is also
anti-bacterial.
Hope this helps,
justin

I don't know about all this excessive
washing... Who has time for 4 showers a
day? Besides, we are always covered in
bacteria, becoming ocd about cleanliness
won't change that. I'm sure she bathes.
I've found a really cool deoderant
recently. I've never liked
antiperspirants because I find that I have
a hard time regulating my body temp when I
can't sweat at all under my arms and I
have some reservations about the safety of
aluminum clogging up your sweat glands.
Deoderants just cover up the smell though.
Bo plus lavender still has bo smell. But
kiss my face brand makes a deoderant
called active enzyme that has plant
enzymes that essentially take the stinky
smell molecules that the bacteria churn
out and "cut" them, making odorless
molecules. I have a really physical job
and before I found this I was applying
deoderant 2-3 times a day and still
smelling by the end of the day. Now I can
work hard and get sweaty and still smell
nice. Try it out! I bought mine at whole
foods, you might have to search around at
other health food stores and the like to
find it.
