A deodorant question

My daughter is 19 and has always sweated a lot. She is embarrassed that despite clean clothes everyday and always using deo, she still has a strong body odour at the end of the day. She has been using Triple Dry 72 hour antiperspirant deodorant, which seems less effective as time goes by.
Any recommendations gratefully received.

I'm a very heavy sweater and end up really wet and smelly without a decent deodorant. I ran out of my usual Sure deodorant and popped my husbands Fussy one on to try. I was very sceptical but it works really well! They use natural probiotics instead of aluminium and harsh chemicals which can irritate the skin. I've switched over permanently now. They have a variety of natural fragrances and the cartridges are compostable which is good.

@MimiGCjust another thought her clothes may be holding onto the sweat/smell and even after washing the smell might linger in the fabric spraying the armpit area liberally with white vinegar and letting it sit for 5-10 mins before washing.
where’s also a washing detergent called halo that works wonders on sweaty clothes and removes all smells.

Mitchum roll on is the only thing that works for me.

Also I tend to sweat more if I wear tight fitting clothes under my arms e.g. tight t-shirts. If I wear clothes that are looser I tend not to sweat so perhaps she could look at what clothes she is wearing and maybe wear looser clothes.

Shaving with a wet razor can sometimes cause issues as well so I only shave with an electric razor.
