I think I smell bad

MrsSmithA · October 2015

This is totally embarrassing... I shower regularly, wear deodorant, etc but I think I smelly bad! It's not just my pregnancy super smell bc I asked my husband and he agreed with me. What to do?

Lol

Hormones... Maybe try a different deoderant? I had to switch brands because my old stuff wasn't working for me like it used to.

I second @potatocastillo about trying a new deodorant. Gotta love these hormones!

Yup, pregnancy (and for me, breastfeeding) is great. I've never had smelly pits or anything until I got pregnant with DD, and now I can't find a deodorant that will work! (The only one that worked ended up giving me a rash). It's awful.

I forgot my deodorant today, and I smelled bad! And I showered this morning! I can usually skip it, no big deal, but today peeeeee-youuuuuu!

My issue is "downstairs" odor. It's so annoying!! I've resorted to bringing a little ziploc of baby wipes to work and going more often just so I can freshen up! I also had to start putting deodorant under my chest.

It's bad that I'm just over halfway through and I'm already ready to be done...

I use the crystal deodorant under my boobs and between them because I sweat there too bad and they can smell. It's the truth and its gross but the crystal stuff works great

Totally with you here. I think it doesn't help that your sense of smell is so heightened during pregnancy. Drives me nuts!

If it's downstairs older, what about trying scented pantiliners? Or maybe a new scented body wash would help? I just switched to method brand and the smell is really pretty. I also like that it's more natural than the other ones that I used to use.

crystal deodorant? Tell us more

I feel ya. I bought new deodorants (not anti perspirant since that always causes me to sweat /stink more) and have a stick at work to reapply during the day. Currently I'm loving arm and hammer fresh scent. I've also been exfoliating under my arms every time I shower to get any bacteria off. That step seems to have helped the most.

Gurl... I'm in the same boat. My hormones are making my body crazy. I like Weleda deodorant in Rose- it smells so pretty. For the downstairs issue, changing my panties a couple times a day helps, and a little body powder too (I got this natural brand off Amazon so I don't feel bad about any chemicals).... and also drinking more water/eating more fruit seems to help.

I second weleda. It works!

Vkrosa · October 2015

It is only a deodorant not an antiperspirant. I use the solid my daughter who's 8 uses the roll on she was having a hard time with bo and this stuff works great and it's pretty safe to use.

Oh man, I feel ya OP on this. My heightened sense of smell is a curse somedays! I keep deodorant in my purse for those mid-day reapplications, and lots of extra pantyliners and a travel thing of baby wipes for downstairs.
