» kingman40 - Underarm Odor

Hi, I too have suffered from terrible (actually toxic) smelling underarm odour. I have tried many things and the only two things that have helped are :
a) Powdering my underarms with a non-talc powder before applying deodorant. The one I use is a 'feminine' powder meant for women to use in 'private' places, and it has cornflour as it's main ingredient. You can buy them in the supermarkets or perhaps may need buy it from a pharmacy. If you take the label off it, no-one will ever know exactly what it is !. Note: Ive tried talcum powder but it just didn't work.

b) But the other day I discovered the most amazing quote - "how to cure bad odour ? Spray some alcohol based mouthwash under your arms". The next day I tried this and it really does work !!! If it works for my toxic odour, then it will work for anyone. I now put some in a small spray bottle, spray it under my arms and wait for it to dry. I then apply deodorant over it. Brilliant !. The other day I forgot to apply the deodorant, but it still worked well on its own. I use Listerine, but other brands may work just as well. There you go, I wish you all well and hopefully one of these two solutions will be a relatively easy remedy !
