Here’s one… observe what kinds of fabrics absorb sweat and make it smell worse on you. I noticed that some synthetic fabrics get rank right away, while cotton doesn’t really do that, for example. You could save the whiffy fabrics for days you don’t have much walking or stress.

I find that using glycolic acid on my armpits after I shower helps me but sometimes people have sensitive armpits so maybe do a test first. And It can definitely burn if you just shaved

I’ve been using Secret whole body deodorant, it’s a spray and can go everywhere. Then I’ll swipe Native over that. Also Lume works pretty well to mask scene when your sweating. I’ll also j carry lume around with me and reapply I’m not sure if this really does anything but it didn’t make it worse. And then I started using a scented oil I’ll put on my wrists and back of my neck for a different smell

witch hazel, under arms, boobs, crack, when you get out of the shower, and before you go out, then use arm&hammer deodorant, hair mist, lots of water, and exfoliate

I use rubbing alcohol wipes on my armpits sometimes to help kill the bacteria that causes the smell, life hack I am so grateful to have been taught lol
