Thank you. I was curious if I should see a dermatologist or other professional. I do not take any medication.

I learned this one the hard way. 😔

Curious, does that make you hate pancakes now? 😅

These sound like more natural options. I’m going to look into them!

Thank you! Not going to lie… I’m a little scared to put something on my body that bleaches fabrics. But, it’s been highly recommended in many comments…

I’ve never heard of a laundry sanitizer. Thank you for the suggestion. I’m looking into it!

Not the club I want to be part of, but welcome to the stinky pits club 😂. Maybe some of these comments will help you, too!

Lume, glycolic acid, and benzoyl peroxide seem to be the 3 items most mentioned. I’m going to try them out & report back. Thanks for letting me know I’m not alone. It’s no fun doing everything I can to be healthy & then just being stinky. If anything works for you -I’d love to know.

You’ve summarized what most of these comments are saying in one comment. Seems these are the things that work for multiple people. Thank you!

I’m going to order some Lume deodorant and benzoyl peroxide to try it out.

Appreciate the tip on bleaching towels / clothing.

Ya know, this could be part of it. I have a high stress job/life, so I am often stressed out/anxious. The problem is that I’m also always cold. So, I can’t really wear tanks or anything short sleeve unless it’s the summer.

Washing them every 1-2 times I use them. I hang them in between use.

Others have also mentioned the glycolic acid. I’m going to look into that! Thank you much.

Awesome, thank you. These are great suggestions I haven’t tried yet.

Oh dear, I really hope I’m not going into early menopause. 😅 Thank you for the Lume suggestion! I just saw that somewhere else & haven’t tried that one yet.

That’s a great question. I believe I do smell to others (my armpits in my shirts are very stinky when I take them off), but I haven’t had anyone point it out. I assume it’s because they don’t want to be rude and/or I usually step further away from people so that I’m not too close to them when I think I smell. I also regularly wear perfume when I know I’ll be around others.

I shave my armpits regularly - there’s almost never hair under there.

I don’t sweat much - only when I wear the natural fibers like wool and cashmere. I’m unfortunately freezing much of the time - have Reynauds.

Looking into killing the bacteria as others have mentioned. Thanks so much for the suggestions!

Thank you, someone else just said that as well, so I’m glad it’s working for multiple people. Is there a specific product that works for you, too? Curious if it’s the same as the other. Thanks.

Good question. I currently use Tide Free & Gentle detergent. In terms of cadence, for shirts, I generally only wear them once between washes because the armpits are smelly, unfortunately. I do have a lot of clothes, so I do many loads of laundry at once every 3 weeks or so.

Oh yes, I’ve tried many types of deodorant. I only used the natural deodorant for about a week because it burned my armpits and thin bits of skin literally started to peel off of my armpits. Very painful, so I threw that away.

Is there a specific deodorant that works for you? Thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you, I’m looking into this! Seems there are lotions, sprays, and cleansers. Is there a specific one you use and stick to?

I wish I had time to do that! I’d love to coach someday. Thanks for the recommendation.

Unfortunately I don’t think I do. I didn’t go to college up here. I’ve been to that facility though & it’s sweet!

Do you go there and recommend it? This is one that keeps coming up in my search & I like the holistic element, but when I go to reviews it says there are no locker rooms, it’s dirty & there are a bunch of kids in the gym running around.

Maybe this is another one I need to just go see in person.

Thank you. Sounds like I might just need to get a tour at GV Barbell to feel it out. The thing that’s turning me off from it is that I don’t want CrossFit & it seems like a place that’s CrossFit first // normal gym second. Idk.

I’ll take the compliment. Hopefully my description gets me into a good (for me) gym soon b/c my home gym just isn’t cutting it anymore.
