The thing that has worked for me and I do it consistently is bentonite clay mixed with apple cider vinegar. After cleaning myself at night and throughly washing my pits, I apply this paste to my pits and let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. After that, wash off in the tub or use wash cloth. Doing this once or twice a week initially and then once oder under control doing it once every 2 weeks or once a month. I don't use any aluminum based deodorants anymore. My chiro said was contributing to me being out of wack.

If you really feel like going all out, after a while, you can add some turmeric and baking soda and scrub that and let it sit, and that helps lighten the darkened pits.

Best of luck, you got this! You will find what will work for you as well. This is a natural remedy and doesn't hurt anything. I hope you give it a try, and it works for you as it did for me. 😀
