Help
I run, and I coach cheerleading so staying out of the heat won't do.

I would recommend adding lots of vinegar to your diet, especially in salads and also eating more yougurts. Both will help balance the Ph of your skin and therefore the smell of your sweat.

Now, having sweet smelling sweat is a totally different enzymatic problem of your body.

mum4ever has the key. It's all about chemistry. I never had a prob. like this until last year and I tried everything including washing with different types of soap several times a day. And of course many types and times with deo.
When I put vinegar (organic/aged, Braggs or Eden are good) in my diet it changed a lot. Put a few tbsp. in a small amount of water and drink, if you can't do it, then add raw honey. Slow increase your intake to two or three times this amount.

Until then you can try using hydrogenperoxide on a cotten ball or cloth after washing. Let dryr and then add deodrant. I did this too and it helped considerably. But I had to do it a few times a day at first.

Give it a try. Good Luck!

I think you mean sweat. (As opposed to sweet!) This is what my son's doc said to do. Try either Secret or Degree Clinical Strength deoderants. Use it in the morning after you wash under your arms, and then use it at night before you go to bed.

Some dermatologists and plastic surgeons have a procedure they do for people who sweat too much. If nothing else that you try works, you could look into that.

Good luck,
Dawn

You need to try salt crystal deodorant, you can find it at GNC or on line. I use Naturally Fresh and it works great even here in Florida. You will still sweat but there will not be any odor.

do u wash with antibacterial soap? have u tried the clinical strength ones?,. i feel like it all depends on the way your body is individually.. i think everyone reacts differently to different kinds of deoderant... a couple weeks ago i was out of deoderant and my fiance said just use mine for now til u go buy some so i did.. it smelled really good when i put it on but a little while later in the day i sware it made me smell like onions it was gross.. iv used his deoderant in the past and that never happend it was just this particular kind ... o0h and this may also help u .. my fiance stopped using antipersperant he uses strictly deoderant... he works construction so he sweats either way not matter what he uses but he says the ones that are just deoderant have alot more smell to them, the keep him from smelling bad.. the antipersperant ones he says by the end of the say he smells, and he still sweats through it anyway so why bother using it

The hydrogen peroxide made a big difference for my husband. Just use it under the arms, I think it depends on your own body to see how often.
