to think that two different types of roll-on/spray shouldn't be needed to not smell

[DamnBamboo]

Serious post.

Very case of bad BO.

Bad bad bad.

Not sure why, never a problem before, but now it is.

Should a roll-on and a spray at the same time, both be required, or is there a perfectly acceptable version of each that will by itself, do the job?

[HazeltheMcWitch]

Have you tried all the big guns?

Mitchum... Triple dry... Perspirex etc?

[JellyBellyWorkWear]

Sure 24hr did the job nicely during pregnancy when nowt else did

Why AIBU?

[Salmotrutta]

Have you tried Mitchum roll -on?

I bought some of the 24hour stuff because it was on a special offer - but unfortunately I reacted to it so had to chuck it (I get eczema). It seemed good though?

[Salmotrutta]

Ah, X- post

[DamnBamboo]

Desperate for quick answers jelly.

No hazel will try all of the above.

Any personal recommendations?

[Goldmandra]

Wash with Hibiscrub or use antibac gel. Both will kill the bacteria which causes the smell.

[KatoPotato]

Mitchum all the way!

[HazeltheMcWitch]

Mitchum stick for me. The aerosol just seems to flake off, and the roll-on takes too long to dry.

[valiumredhead]

MItchum is good, Lynx Africa stick is cheaper and leaves no stains on clothes and smells feminine and works just as well ( I used ds's once when I had run out of my stuff!)

[DamnBamboo]

That's three for Mitchum!

Bath and thorough scrub everyday already gold will either of those make a difference?

[Bridgetbidet]

Has your diet changed? Could it be something you are eating that is causing it? Could you do an elimination diet?

[CheeseStrawWars]

Is it you or is it lingering BO in your clothes being released as they warm up next to your skin? Artificial fibres in particular hang on to BO smells.

I found I smelt horribly with mitchum. Just changed to a sure 48 hour one in a stick with tricool or something like that and it is truly amazing! Hardly any sweat and no pong

[Dawndonna]

Mitchum here too. My dm had serious problems until she had some sweat glands removed from under her arms, but she used Mitchum and it made a significant difference. Dd2 has probs in that department, too. She loves Mitchum!

[DamnBamboo]

Definitely on clothes.

Cotton tops though?

Diet is probably slightly different, more dairy and fat. Also now that I've put on weight, I notice it to be stronger!

[DamnBamboo]

Never sweaty, just pongy. My mother had the same problem.

Mitchum has cropped up repeatedly here.

Clearly you all know something I don't.

I will buy some first thing.

[Goldmandra]

I discovered it when DD had lots of emergency admissions to hospital and I kept ending up there with nothing for me.

They didn't stop me sweating of course but they did make a massive difference by stopping that smell which usually appears within a short time if you start.

I also started putting it on every morning after my shower when I got eczema from deodorant for a while. It worked really well as an alternative.

[CheeseStrawWars]

Deodorant residue on clothes can trap BO smells, so if you're using a lot of deodorant you might be perpetuating the problem. Link to tips on treating

[DamnBamboo]

Thanks cheese

I had a problem with Dove and then Sure not working, but recently I bought Aldi's own and it's fantastic!!!

[JellyBellyWorkWear]

fair nuff

The other thing I found was being very free of underarm hair made a huge difference, as did dressing sensibly. If you've put on weight are your tops pulling under the arms or synthetic?

[DamnBamboo]

thanks bubbs.

No hair jelly, clothes correct size, don't like tight things.

Have gone up to a 12/14. So not too big, just bigger than I was.

But coincidentally this is when I noticed the issue of sweat and BO

[valiumredhead]

The Powder Fresh Mitchum smells lovely.

[FrickingFedUp]

Mitchum. Been using it for 13 years now and I forget what a sweaty Betty I am until I try something different.

Perspirex nearly burnt my pits off.

[DamnBamboo]

DONE

Mitchum all the way.

Thanks everyone
