| Re: Underarm Odor
If you're simply using deodorant, it won't help with the odor. You need to use an anti-perspirant for that. I've never heard of the one you're using so maybe try something else. For soap, use either Dial or Safeguard; those are the two best on the market for odor-control. For anti-perspirant, there are several you can try - Arrid XX; Mitchem; Right-Guard;
You need to use something that will stop wetness and odor both. Also - and I don't know if you're guility of this or not - but do NOT wear the same shirt two days in a row. It's quite possible that some of the smell is simply coming from your clothes. Even if you don't do this, if you've had this problem for awhile, many times the odor in your clothes just can't be washed out anymore, and as soon as you start to perspire, it triggers the smell that's left in your clothes. Once you start to get this under control, you may wish to splurge on some new shirts.
There was a discussion on here awhile back about people who perspire heavily, and the suggestion given by alot of people was to use Arrid XX and Certain Dri both. The Certain Dri is to be used at night only, and the Arrid is used during the day as you normally would. What the Certain Dri does is basically block your pores; same principle as Mitchum but better. My husband has always had a problem with perspiration (not odor, just wetness) and he tried this and said for the first time in his life, he's dry all the time now. You may want to try these two and see if it helps. The odor is coming from somewhere; you don't mention wetness but I'm going to guess that's a problem, too, as that's usually when you have odor. Try the Arrid and Certain Dri and see if those help. Maybe using those and replacing your shirts will help.
I wish you well, and let us know if anything works....
