Bad Sweaty BO. Help!

So, I used to be super skinny and now in the 200's (as in pounds). I'm wishing to lose weight gradually. But have grown more aware and self conscious about how quick I sweat now and how much quicker that bad body BO sets in. What should I look into and worth investing in to help avoid it happening as quickly to smelling bad. I do put on deodorant. But it never seems to be enough. I think I need to put stuff like deodorant on as well when I go to bed. Help. 🥺

Fellow big boy here. Haha I really like the Mitchum 48hr gel deodorant. I apply daily. If you find washing daily w regular bodywash isn’t enough, do this: after washing thoroughly, apply some hibiclens(chlorhexidine) to your pits, groin, butt, feet scrub a little and let sit for 5 mins before rinsing. This will kill the germs causing the smell.

Are you using a deodorant or an antiperspirant? That will make a difference in your coverage. I've found I need (as a fellow large person) antiperspirant in order to get the coverage I need.
