How to prevent smelly underarms 🤮

[Makeupaddikt]

Hi sorry to write about this horrible subject but well I have horrible smelly underarms, I shave frequently, and shower daily, use deodorant (no particular kind just whatever is on offer) and I still find my underarms are smelly.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get rid of this?

Do you wear clean clothes everyday? If you do I’d go to the pharmacy and ask for a recommendation for a good anti-perspirant from the pharmacist.

Do you use deodorant or anti-perspirant?

Im quite interested in the solution to smelly underarms as well. Sorry I can't be of help.

The sure deodorant that cost £4-£5 are amazing ! Give them a try I'm sure it will fix the issue !

Coal
Tar
Soap.

Really transformed my whiff.

Try using soap instead of shower gel. Is it anti perspirant you are using? I like sanex and garnier minerals roll on

Soap, not shower gel and was pits twice

Anti-perspirant like Sure mentioned up thread, wash with a bar of soap, clean clothes and undies every day.

I second the sure deodorant recommendation.... They are really great.

Use something like Driclor or Perspirex - you apply it at night, don't shave for a couple of days or it will irritate, then wash off and don't apply any deodorant. It stops me sweating completely for weeks at a time, and I used to suffer badly from sweat patches, although wasn't smelly

Deodorant doesn’t work for me, it has to be anti perspirant.
And it has to be spray otherwise I get horrible itchy pits!

Also dry pits well after washing ie use a cold hair drier and then apply anti perspirant to dry skin and give another blast on the hairdryer to dry deo

Make sure you are washing your clothes on a hot wash with biological detergent and like other posters have said use a bar of soap instead of shower gel and make sure the deodorant says anti-perspirant as opposed to just a body spray type deo.

Are you sure it's not your clothes? I had a real problem in the past , minutes after getting dressed I would pong, solved it by soaking underarms ( of the clothes, not MY underarms ) in white vinegar before washing, worked a treat.

You an get a product called Trust from Boots. It kills the bacteria that make the smell. Put it on once a week after using soap and water and you’ll have fresh pits for a week - honest!

Thanks everyone, I’m not sure if it’s anti perspiration or deodorant 🤔 will have to check, but will defo check the other ideas and I do change clothes every day.

Mitchum, the dry roll on, it really works for me 24 hours of freshness.

Oh and use soap to wash under your arms, like imperial leather.

Is it your actual pits that smell or is it when you’re wearing clothes?

Definitely use soap instead of shower gel. If it's really bad use Dettol soap, that should sort it out.

I find unscented deodorants best as a lot of scented ones 'turn' on me. The Nivea sensitive roll on is my personal favourite.

Yep soap not shower gelhere too. Completely stopped the whiffs.

Mitchum roll on. Also try not to wear tops made of synthetic fabrics as much as possible. Check the underarms of your tops don't smell already before you put them on (hot wash if they do).

Iggly it’s my actual pits, it doesn’t matter what clothes I wear I always smell? Even at night, but I’m going to try the vinegar tip that someone mentioned above just incase, and I will try soap rather than shower gel.

I use Mitchum and it’s amazing. I suffered years of sweat patches on t shirts - it was ridiculous. Now nothing - have used to religiously for ten years.

I wasn’t particularly smelly, just sweaty. But that might help.

Dettol or similar soap. Sure intensive anti perspirant
