Peri (probably) started to be really smelly at night

[FlouryBap]

Hello! I am 47 and generally fit and well but some changes that point to peri menopause are evident - most obviously much bigger waist! I have always been a sweaty sleeper - but recently I have been sweaty and so smelly so quickly. I had to throw out some long standing pyjamas as they smell even after washing. I have some new Uniqlo sweat wicking jamas but I noticed today they were so smelly after I wore them for two nights.

i wouldn’t say my sweatiness is official night sweats as I am not totally drenched - just u pleasantly sweaty.

Is this a thing? Do I just need to accept I need clean jamas every night? Has anyone had a similar experience?

Yes I had this,

HRT helped but I have to have clean pjs every night,

In my case it went on to full on night sweats which really are unpleasant.

thanks for replying and letting me know it’s a thing . I don’t even have that many pyjamas!

I'm 46 and stink all the time. I'm having 2 showers a day at the moment. Changing my clothes from top to bottom too. I feel disgusting!

It's a sweet / musky smell from my body
My vagina smells of oil

Nobody has commented but I can smell myself.

me too but I’m taking a menopause multi vitamin which I’d like to think has reduced the smelliness of the night sweats. I have to change PJs regularly. Get yourself on Vinted and treat yourself to some options!

Yep when I have the night sweats my pjs need to be changed! I’ve gone thru periods of having them full on every night for weeks then less so.

This is an EXCELLENT idea

I’m 52, definitely peri and definitely smelling more / differently. It’s the gift that keeps on giving 🙄

If you use shower gel swap to old fashioned bars of proper soap like imperial leather or Palmolive (not dove) and because of night sweats you need clean night clothes every night
Personally I prefer a nighty to pjs as I always overheat in pjs
