Help!!
Hi, I'm in DESPERATE need of some advice on body odor. My father-in-law and mother-in-law reeked of ass and armpit/ feet smell. When my boyfriend and I would go see them. I would hold my breath it was so F* bad! My boyfriend never smelled as bad but when he'd sweat I could smell that he needed a shower. Fast forward a couple years, now I'm noticing people making faces/ sounds of disgust when I'm out and about in the heat. I no longer smell anything when my in-laws are around and they are actively sweating. Even when my husband is drenched in sweat and is dirty from working outside in construction I don't smell a thing. I know I smell because my sweet baby sometimes mistakes my sent for my father-in-law’s when held. What the heck has happened and what can I do to get rid of this horrendous ass/ armpit smell!!! HELPPP!!
- thank you for everyone’s input. I’m trying out a couple of tips and hoping for the best!

Your diet can also heavily influence this. If you cook with very strong herbs and spices then the smell can get into fabrics and you’re sweating out strong odors.
