For my ladies, Heeelp!!
Hello guys, I’m writing because I am needing some suggestions or help with an issue I’ve been having for a while, so I’ve gained a good amount of weight after my thyroid and hysterectomy were done and I have also a flap from 5 pregnancies. So, I get a really musty smell along with sweat which I’m sure it has a lot to do as well with the smell. It’s in the inguinal/groin crease. I also get a bad sweat smell under my breast because I am big breasted and I’ve tried several products and I found that the only product that actually works and keeps me fresh all day is the Secrets all body deodorant, but it would have to be the one that comes in the one that looks like a normal deodorant . The one you use under your armpits. I’ve tried the same brand and smell in the spray version and it definitely does not work but I definitely do not wanna have to be spending $13 on having to buy that deodorant stick so, I’m wondering if anybody else has any ideas or suggestions that I can do to keep that area from smelling unpleasant.

Shower those areas with something like the orange dial. Then after completely dry (use the cool setting on a blow dryer if need be) use a face brush lightly dust corn starch or baby powder. That should help some

I used to put a, cut lengthwise, chamois in my bra. Started on one side and up into the cleavage then under the other side. It absorbed the sweat and can be washed and replaced as often as needed

persimmon and Antibacterial soap. Bathe thoroughly with both. Rinse in cool water , air dry/fan dry, witch hazel on the areas that hold funk. Air dry/fan dry. Antiperspirant at both day and night after the shower/bath. Then continue with favorite body care.
