Hey, fellows. I need some great help from you because I’ve been struggling with body odor after starting to work out. So for years, I was using a Nivea deo and it worked well until about 4 months ago when I finally started an active lifestyle. I started going to the gym 4-5 times a week and clean bulking. I got desirable results in my gym progress… however, that wasn’t the case for my armpits. Somehow, whatever deo/antipers that I use, sweat would still get through and make me stink. I’ve tried Dove, Rexona, Axe, and currently Old Spice. Old Spice would hold up for a bit but the other 3 that I’ve tried were no help at all. My confidence has been taking a toll lately. Seriously, any and all help would be greatly appreciated, thanks all.

Go to the doctor.
You using white solid sticks? I get better results with those. Also I just plan on stinking when I workout. Shower afterwards and reapply deodorant and I’m good to go. Usually use Dove or Old Spice solid white antiperspirant and deodorant.
The gel or invisible solids don’t last more than a couple hours for me.
Try putting on the antiperspirant at night before bed. Google “putting antiperspirant on at night” if you doubt.
What’s your diet like? How often do you shower?
When you shower do you use a washcloth with some soap on to wash you armpits? It makes a big difference (the washcloth). And indeed, a white stick deodorant works better then the spray or wet roll on one’s. I use one from sanex now but you have many different kinds. And do you smoke weed? Eat a lot of Indian spices? Do you eat a lot of onions or garlic? It tends to make your sweat smell worse.
Your deodorant is going to be decimated by your work out. You need to shower after your work out then re-apply.
Go see a dermatologist. Certain-Dri does wonders as well and it’s available on Amazon
Shave the hair.
I’ve been using ammonium alum (those crystal deodorants) since I was 24. Lasts for a couple days.
Try eating less meat. Especially red meat
Use degree that works wonders
If you’re sweating while working out you’re going to stink while you’re sweating. A good antiperspirant deodorant can help, but you’re not going to stop the smell entirely. Shower after exercise and wash clothing regularly.
1) shave ur pits
2) bathe (shower) with soap after a work out . Dry properly , apply anti perspiration, Deo and EDT. Wear fresh clothes
3) wear / change / wash undershirts everyday .
4) if you are taking a heavy protein diet , that may also be causing an issue, consult a doc and do a kidney test , if kidneys are damaged or overloaded , your skin may be excreting urea. ( very unlikely and I hope it is not this )
5) maybe it is just your manly-man man-smell .
Speed Stick.
Try adding an aftershave with a decent alcohol content. Bacteria doesn’t take long to build up on your skin if you are sweating.
Also try to drink enough water to keep your urine clear. A lot of the same waste can be secreted in your sweat.
your diet has a huge impact on what you smell like and every seems to forget that if you fill your body with shit you’re going to smell like shit
Try Ban, it’s the only thing that works for me. At one point I bought one of every brand at the store to try…
Cus it’s unatrual to use
Women’s deodorant, get a plain flavor and thank me later.
