I've trawled past threads and come up with dettol soap for double scrubbing. Then Triple Dry anti persp.

I've done it last night. Armpits not wet today, but still smell...... but i have weird covid side effect where nothing smells like what it is. My pits smell like they did before dettol and triple dry

Do i need to add a perfumed product? Or deodorant for mornings ?

Please help!

Apparently eating mushrooms everyday and using a persimmon soap on your underarms is supposed to help, but I haven't tested the theory.

Acnecide face wash works for me. I use it once a week and always use bar soap rather than shower gel.

Sure Maximum Protection and wash with a bar of soap and wash clothes with Ariel bio cold wash gel.

What type of Magnesium is best? I’ve tried it on and off over the years to help me sleep better but don’t think it made a difference.

Hadn’t heard of it combatting the dreaded memo smell though so might revisit.

My armpits aren’t that bad actually but even within half an hour of soaking in a bath and minutes after a shower I can smell something, never sure if it’s coming from my boob or pubic area but it’s rank- even thought it could be my belly button!

I have taken to spraying perfume now daily around my stomach area- seems to help a bit or at least distracts me.

Has memo smell always been a thing, until a few years ago I’d never even heard of it.

The Mitchum ultimate gel is much better than the standard Mitchum.

I take magnesium. I take hrt too which I've been on for 12 years (started for post partum depression as hormones were all very low)

Does everyone get nonenal? I think it's this now 😞

I must say, I haven't had this. I've had the opposite. When i was young and "hormonal" it was tricky, but for peri and now menopausal it's been great. I don't take hrt. Could it be a side effect of that, or something diet related?

I think I've cracked it ! Used glycolic acid gel overnight and the gross stink was gone

In morning I've used anti persp and it all seems so much better
