I sweat, so badly. I've tried all the deodorants suggested on here, I wash with bar soap, I've tried the (can't remember what it's called) something 500/600.
I shower at night and put deodorant on, them wake up smelly and shower again!
Honestly, I smell so bad!
Please help!

Have a look at a product by the ordinary glycolic acid 7% some YouTube videos on how to use it x

Try washing sweaty areas with hibiscrub or dettol bar soap. Avoid shower gel.
Ineos spray antiperspirant is very good. Looks like water in a pump action bottle and can be bought on Amazon.

Are you stressed/ hormonal/ dehydrated/ potentially in ketosis?

I’m a sweaty Betty but when it’s really bad I’m pretty sure it’s a hormonal issue

What's your blood pressure like?

Since being in peri I sometimes get whiffier more quickly. Now I wash with bar soap first, and then use Hibiwash and leave it on my skin for 5 mins before rinsing, and it’s helped alot. Might be worth a try in case it helps a bit?

You need anti perspirant not deodorant. Sure Max stick is excellent.

Sorry I meant I do use anti persperrant. Tried everything. I am so very sensitive under my arms! Break out really badly

are you referring to Bev? If so smell can be normal as bodies change with hormones and do not put deodorant or any spray down there

BO, just disgusting sweat! And it starts as soon as I leave the house in heat or walk in somewhere warm! And my armpits, upper lip, back of knees, anywhere really, pours with sweat

Do you wear natural fabrics? If not, do so. I live in a warmer climate than the UK and cannot stand anymore to have any unnatural fabrics on, I get overheated as well as finding them itchy. (I’m sure partly due to peri as well as the climate!)
