I'm having a body odour problem lately. In the shower I soap my armpits somewhat thoroughly, and wet them and then get out and apply deoderant. But like 5 hours afterwards i start to stink, no matter what. Is there some way to stop my armpits from stinking everyday? Also, it gets worse at night.
Thanks

Wear anti perspirant every day and top up with deodorant and ap every few hours especially after walking outside.

Well you can get different type of deodorant. Use Gillette gel anti perspirant. I also wash my pits twice when I shower. I use my shampoo and then I wash them again with soap.

It could just be your brand of deodorant. Try antiperspirant and/or it could just be the brand. If not just apply every few hours. no big

B/O is caused by sweat which allows bacteria to grow there, giving off the odor. So, you want to wash your pits thoroughly, dry them completely, and apply an anti perspirant, which helps keep you dry. The deoderant only masks the smell, it doesn't get at the cause, which is the wetness. You also might want to wear tops and tees that are looser fitting, which imporves air circulation, and therefore evaporation of the sweat.
You might want to experiment with a few anti perspirants to see which ones work best for you. And a nightly shower might help, and sleeping in a loose fitting top, too.

make sure you are using anti perspirant, and wear breathable clothes, if u think u are smelling a bit, top up your anti persperant and use a deoderant or body spray to give yourself a nice smell, if you are in your early teens, this is a commom problem, as you get older it will stop being so bad, keep washing everyday and try to waer a clean top every day too, good luck :)
