Esp if youre an active person you will just smell worse at the end of the day and theres not much you can do about it without going kind of overboard in maintenance. Its ok if you stink a bit after a full day thats normal and if ppl give u shit theyre probably hypocrites and definitely weird

Make sure u are exfoliating your armpits in the shower, just use a rag and soap tho- sugar scrubs can promote bacteria. You may also try disinfecting them every once in a while with some rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball

finding the right deodorant can help. i like secret cause it's also an antiperspirant so it stops sweating and i feel like i smell better. but when i tried using old spice (cause i like the smell) i felt like i stank 24/7, even when i didn't stink
