Question Posted Wednesday November 22 2006, 1:24 pm
Lately i have noticed that my underarms smell really bad. I use deodarent and LOT of it. I started using more and that only made me smell worse. I recently noticed that i dont smell bad when I use less deoderant. Would anyone know why this is happening?
Additional info, added Wednesday November 22 2006, 4:25 pm: Im not going through puberty im 21 years old. I have also tried using different brands. Whenever i use more deoderant thats when i smell bad.. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Health? looloo12 answered Wednesday November 22 2006, 5:57 pm: ok i'll be honest im not quite sure why its happening but... when you shave your under arms in the shower make sure you shave up and down, side to side. it sounds weird but when you do that it helps get rid of the "odor causing bacteria" under there. try using un scented deodrant like the girl below me said dont use good smells so ya.

tinkerbelle92 answered Wednesday November 22 2006, 4:10 pm: Maybe it is just the type of deodorant you are using. You could try using a different brand or type of deodorant and see if that helps. This is kind of like what happened to me, so i had to switch deodorants. The one that i use that really works well for me is Ban. So you could try switching deodorants and see if that works out for you, and if it doesnt then maybe ask a family member about it... they could have had the same sort of problem as you, and could know a way to help it.
Hope i helped!
