Arm pit body odor?

what the heck! I'm such a clean freak, bathe at least twice a day, use deodorant and perfume and my armpits stink! What the crap is this, anyone else? I blame hormones, but how long will this last? I have never had smelly BO!!

Re: Arm pit body odor?

  • Same here! I've been using the same deodorant for probably 10 years and immediately after baby it stopped working. I have odor plus they get sticky sweaty for no reason. I agree it's hormones. Thankfully my husband's deodorant seems to match my new body chemistry. I just wonder if it'll ever go back to normal! I'd prefer to smell like Dove over Old Spice!

  • Oh I feel ya, I feel like u constantly stink even after a shower. And the between the boob smell, yuck. It's better now that I'm not leaking but jeez. I don't want anyone getting too close and smelling me!
  • Lol like I stink...not you!
  • I was literally going to post this same thing! I had to buy new deodorant yesterday because the one I've used forever now I have to apply like 4x a day. I thought it was just summer and stress but hormones are the likely culprit. Ugh.

    @ftm0413 I started using my DH's old spice too!! And I also would like to smell like a lady again. I hope it goes back to normal. I'm so OCD about cleanliness and smelling good!!

    @paxton20 that's what I have always used and no longer works!! :(

    Haha glad to know I'm not the only one ladies, but I'm sorry you're experiencing this too. No fun. And yes, boob leakage smell is awesome as well. The things we go through during pregnancy, through delivery and postpartum! We must be crazy. ;) jk
  • Thank you for posting!!! I was wondering what the heck is wrong with me!

    Yes! I constantly feel like my under arms smell like B.O. I shower twice daily and they even start to smell shortly after my shower. I refuse to wear deodorant with aluminum in it, so my all natural stuff isn't cutting it lately. I assume it's hormones. Hopefully, the issue resolved itself soon. Nobody want to be the smelly girl!
  • I started experiencing this while pregnant and it seemed like the deodorant actually made it worse so I stopped wearing it all together. After giving birth, I couldn't get away with not wearing any, probably because of the hormone change + summer heat. I ended up switching to Dove from Secret Clinical Strength and no more issues, thank God!

  • Ughh the underarm smell + leakage smell combo @-) I just wash those areas extra throughout the day. Doesn't help much.
