To ask how I can smell better?

This is really embarrassing but recently I've noticed I've started to smell bad. I used to not need to shower everyday but now I'm aware of an odour part way through the day even after a shower. It's not normal BO - I use a good quality antiperspirant and the smell doesnt seem to come from my armpits.
I cant really work out exactly where the smell comes from, although it is more noticeable when I'm wearing a skirt or dress with tights and does seem worse if I'm hot. No one has commented on it but I'm so aware of it.

Can anyone suggest what I can do to combat it? I shower every morning and as well as antiperspirant I use a body spray/perfume.

@Mossstitch

OK, tea tree essential oil will cure your smelly navels/any slightly over sweaty crevices that may get fungal infections...... There I've said it😳 cures athletes foot too👍
Agree, I have used this and it works. Stings a bit, but works. Also, thyme oil is very antifungal. Should really use oils diluted.

What's the best bar soap?

@Hamjamwich This could be a bit hardcore but I converted to handwash. Smile This is because of the way you have to scrub around where you've rested your soap- unless you have a soap dish I suppose.

Nice hardcore soaps:-

Pears Wright's Coal Tar (but it turns to sludge quickly) Shield Dettol.

@Mossstitch @RagzReturnsRebooted I blitzed mine with TCP once- that does smell though lol. I had not been told you're supposed to clean your belly button. Shock Since then I just get at it routinely as part of a shower/bath.
