Something weird is going on with my sweat..... (sorry)

[NomDeBroomstick]

Over the last month or so I have noticed that my sweat has become more strong smelling (nice). I suppose I'd describe it as quite 'onion-y'.

I haven't changed my diet and nor am I on any sort of medication. Oddly, it also seems to be worse/more strong smelling in my right armpit. I shave daily and use dove cream/stick deodrant (same routine and product for probably 10 years).

Any ideas as to what might be causing it ?

I work in a small windowless office and I'm starting to get a bit paranoid (although I'm not sure that anyone else, including DH has smelt a change).

Oh yes, I shower daily too. Sometimes with a bath in the evening.

Could it be hormonal? I find that I get quite stinky when I have my period and end up walking around all day with my arms pressed to my side!

Try changing deodrant product?

Have you made any changes in terms of exercise?

You might try changing to a different deoderant. I used to find that I would sort of become immune after a while.

Funnily enough, I just posted on the natural deoderant thread, too. A smelly sort of day on MN?

oops, x-posts

are you up the duff?

Have you started wearing warmer clothes as the weather cools down? If so, def avoid man-made fibres where possible.

Take wet-wipes and deodrant to work and have a quick 'wash' halfway through the day to ease your paranoia! Doubt you will smell if you are washing yourself and your clothes regularly... We all have whiffy days!

Ooooh, mp!

Norty MP . Deffo not up the duff as am on my period !

I doubt it is hormonal as it has been going on for a month or so, which is more than a full cycle for me.

No exercise changes, dietary changes etc.

I have been using this deo for 10 years probably, it seems a bit odd to suddenly develop an 'immunity' to it.

I have put weight on in the last few months but am still within 'normal' weight to height ratios.

Could it be thyroid related, perhaps ?

Thanks for all replies so far. (I'm at work so apols if posts are a bit sporadic.)

I am a bit of a 'hot bod' anyway and tend not to wrap up in winter. I am wearing a cotton t-shirt today, fitted but not tight (same as usual).

Pruners, I'm no more stressed than usual

Can't help with the sweat problem NDP but have you seen the meet-up thread? Can you make it this time?

lol, are you sure you want me to ?!

I didn't say I'd sit next to you

You're not getting near the menopause are you ? (sorry have no idea how old you are and don't want to offend you if you are youthful!) Just thought it could be a hormonal change, but not pregnancy IYSWIM

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm 25
