Help! Deodorants no longer work!

[Twatterati]

Posting here for traffic as I really need some help! Over the last 12 months I've struggled with deodorants just not working.

I'd mostly used 'conventional' ones, then years ago I switched successfully to the Pitrok crystal which was brilliant.

Then it just stopped working, and I've since tried hundreds of normal ones, 'natural' ones, men's, women's and literally none of them work - I'm ending up a sweaty, smelly mess despite regular washing.

The latest (all natural one) has left me with an itchy, red rash, odour and swelling.

I was really sweaty in puberty and am now peri-meno and stinky so assume it's hormone-related.

Any advice or ideas please?

I got like that a few years ago, I presume it was peri menopause related. I used Odaban, which really helped. You put it on overnight for a week I think, washing it off in the morning. After that, you use it once a week. You can get it from Amazon, it was the only thing that helped me.

Use bar soap to wash your pits. Dry well. I use Lady Mitchum roll on. I dry it with a hairdryer (don't ask, but it works for me!) and it works fantastically.

Wear tops made from natural fibres only - they allow any sweat to dissipate. Man made fibres, even small amounts of things like lycra, trap sweat so it goes stale. I've got a Baukjen top which smells disgusting after a couple of wears (I am clean!) when nothing 100% cotton, linen or viscose does.

I use napisan as a pre wash for things like gym kit and stuff that holds smells.
