I have a friend who stopped eating meat and noticed that he no longer had to worry about underarm odor; therefore, he had no use for deodorants. I was just curious if this had happened to others?

underarm odor is based in the perspiration that hits bactiria that is normally on one's skin--the odor comes from the fact that the perpiration cannot evaporate like it does on the rest of the body--a meatless diet usually would not change that.

You dont need to use deodorant. deodorant is, like the name suggests, just for odor. it doesnt help as far as wetness goes. what your looking for is anti-persperent. try something with atleast 19% aluminum zirconuim. a good pruduct is Secret Platinum clear gel. this is also a deodorant and comes in some awsome fragrances (my personal favorite is peach shimmer)

I'd say yes. Ive had that before, if ive been working out more than usual. Its like it causes your body to really clean house or something. I wouldnt even think twice about it. Your body will do all sorts of things, its the nature of the female body.\n\nso long as it doesnt stink like something dead, and you're not running a fever its nothing to think twice about.

The aliminum in most anti persperant deoderants has been proven to increase the risk of breast cancer in some women.\nEspecially thsoe who have already had cancer, women who have had cancer are not recommened to use it, and there are many alternatives that do not contain aliminim..

I have hyper hyperhidrosis as well.  It started when I was about 18 or 19.  I would come home from classes and my shirt would be soaked with sweat, no matter whether it was cold or hot outside.  Turns out my father has it too and I believe it's a genetic trait that's passed on.  I tried, in frustration, every deodorant and antiperspirant on the market to try to control it, to the point where sometimes I would just cake talcum powder on my armpits or actually scotch tape folded up tissues under my arms to keep me from sweating through my shirt.  I even tried abstaining from liquids, including water, for a long time in order to "dry" my sweat glands up.  Didn't work.  I ruined a lot of tshirts, pits stained with the salty residue of excessive sweating.  \nFrom what I've read on the internet, there are really only three things that can be done to resolve the condition:\n1.  Botox injections-botox can be injected into the area (in my case, armpits) to temporarily numb/paralyze the sweat glands.  Celebrities often have this done before they go out on the red carpet to avoid sweating in front of the paparazzi.  This procedure is costly and temporary; only lasts a few months.\n2.  Surgery-the ends of the sweat glands can actually be burned off through surgery, thus ending the actual production of sweat in that area.  Costly, painful, and has the potential for later complications like infection.\n3.  The most drastic resolution is the actual removal of the sweat glands.  Not only is this costly, but in can result in incredibly painful rehabiliation, infection, and all the other problems that can come from invasive surgery.\n\nIn my case, my hyperhidrosis started to disappear about a year and a half ago and I think it gets better with age.  I still sweat through my clothes sometimes, especially in a humid summer, but not as much as before, and I do sweat the sheets sometimes, but overall my case of it has gotten better.  Although I'm not sure if they're actually influential on the condition, I would see if maybe there are lifestyle changes you could consider that may help.  For example, if you consume a lot of sodium or other substances that cause you to retain excessive water, or if your diet is generally unhealthy or you don't get enough exercise.  I tried cool showers instead of hot ones for a while with mixed results.\nThere are several websites with information regarding hyperhidrosis.  I found my info on Webmd.com but some others you may want to look at are:\nwww.sweathelp.org\nwww.sts.org/doc/4097\nwww.handsdry.com\nwww.sweaty-palms.com\nwww.hyperhidrosis.com\n\nYou can just google "hyperhidrosis" and find several sites.  If you haven't already, talk to your doctor to see if their are any non-invasive treatments or new medicines on the market.  You may want to speak to your parents or relatives to see if they have ever had it (I'm not sure it's genetic, but in my case my father has it, I have it, and my brother has it as well).  I hope this information has helped and good luck with it.

Trust me on this one...while attending a university, I noticed that the Indians stunk bad with BO...they don't use deodorant whatsoever...plus, some of the girls I saw had afro puffs in their armpits....EWWW!!

take a little bit of talc powder(baby powder) and pat some under your arms in the morning after your deodorant is dry.  Bring it to school (they have travel size) and use it in between classes.  It makes you feel dry and helps with wetness.  Also if you feel dry them you will not worry so much about it and thus sweat less.\n\nyou can also try spray on deodorant after activity.

Articles in the press and on the Internet have warned that underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause breast cancer. The reports have suggested that these products contain harmful substances, which can be absorbed through the skin or enter the body through nicks caused by shaving. Some scientists have also proposed that certain ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants may be related to breast cancer because they are applied frequently to an area next to the breast.\n\nHowever, researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are not aware of any conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates food, cosmetics, medicines, and medical devices, also does not have any evidence or research data that ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause cancer.

propylene glycol in almost all deodorants gets in the body through deodorant I don't think its impossible to realize it is causing cancer, it's right near the breast and lympnods.\n\nIt's not a risk I'm willing to take and makes plenty of sense , since the breast cancer rate has gone up it probably match's when the started putting this into our skin care products. \n\nI check all my beauty and hair products and it's shocking how many items have this ingredient it's even in junk food!!!  it was in my Bed head hair products, face creams, candy bars, it's a cheap filler to keep things "moist" that tells me too that the product is not doing it's job if it's filled with a cheap substance instead of the more important ingredients.\n\nYour body doesn't know what to do with it and it STAYS in the body, in the fatty tissues (ps your brain is this type of tissue too)  There are deodorants with out but I have to seen an anti presperant with it actually I haven't seen or hear of a anti presperant that doesn't have aluminum which is also not good for your body.\n\ni'll keep my breast thank you very much.

Sweat is produced in apocrine sweat glands in the same way. However, the sweat from apocrine glands also contains proteins and fatty acids, which make it thicker and give it a milkier or yellowish color. This is why underarm stains in clothing appear yellowish. Sweat itself has no odor, but when bacteria on the skin and hair metabolize the proteins and fatty acids, they produce an unpleasant odor. This is why deodorants and anti-perspirants are applied to the underarms instead of the whole body.

I don't know if deodorant is bad for you, but I DO know that is it good for everyone else around you....lol.\n\nActually, I wouldn't really worry about the aluminum too much. If you think about it, a lot of the pots we cook in are made out of aluminum, we wrap our leftover food in aluminum foil, and almost all of our canned foods come in aluminum cans. I wouldn't be too concerned if I were you.\n\nSome people say that the aluminum in deodorant causes cancer or alzheimer's, but that is not true.

Get the anti-perspirant Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your underarms. Eliminates all odor. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your clothes at all. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the deoderant is gone, but you don't sweat or smell at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it. I go to the gym and my shirt gets soaked except for under the arms. That is how well it works. I have used the product for over a decade, and have had no unhealthy skin responses from using it.

Please take my advice. I have tried everything. Some people that offer suggestions like "try Rite guard, or whatever have regular armpits, not like us.\nI suspect that you suffer from Hyperhydrosis, your armpits sweat all the time, not just when you are working out or whatever. Even if I am cold, I can feel sweat dripping down my armpits. This is not normal.\nMy sister has this problem, too.\nThere is an anti-perspirant called CERTAIN-DRY. This is made for you and me (and my sis) You put it on at night and it helps to shrink your armpit glands that sweat way too much. Put it on at night and do NOT put it on after shaving your pits. Wait a few hours or it will burn or itch.\nIt takes a few weeks but it REALLY helps!!\nAfter a few months, you only have to use it every few days. I still wear a regular deodorant during the day. I have to but, the Certain-Dry really works.\nMy life has really changed. I can wear so many things now that I could NEVER have worn before. My sister, too.\nIt is funny how something as simple as an anti-perspirant can really change things in your life.\n\nYou can find Certain-Dry in most drugstores. It is kinda hard to locate on the shelf, though. It comes in a box. It is in the deodorant section but, it is not right in there with all the regular deodorants, look around, it is usually near the more obscure ones. \nGo to the store and get it now!!! It really works.\nIf it dosen't work, your hyperhydrosis is more severe than most and a doctor can help. I hear they shoot Botox into your pits, in that case.\n\nWhat are you waiting for??? Grab your keys and get to the store??!!!! SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE!!!!

As always, to understand things that humans have in their anatomies but that\nhave no apparent use [e.g., arm pit hairs] one needs to think about\nevolutionary forebears and look to closely related species for clues. Two\nlevels to the response: the nature of those particular hairs and how they\nserve to help advertize your basic adult [post-pubertal] human condition,\nhowever masked by contemporary perfumes & deodorants. Hair is akin to fur\nbut without the insulative properties, and comes in generally coarse & fine\nvarieties. The particular coarse hairs which develop in the pubic area and\nin the armpits arise at puberty [clue #1]. Hair follicles in these areas\nhave a type of sweat gland associated with them, called an apocrine gland,\nthat begins to function at puberty and is widely associated with\nscent-communication via chemicals known as pheromones [clue #2]. Apocrine\nglands produce an otherwise non-offensive secretion that now appears to be\nhomologous with animal sex-specific scents. Unfortunately its components are\nbroken down by bacteria to form odors associated with dirty locker room\nsmells. The arm pit hairs serve as extended surface from which these\nvolitile chemicals can be more efficiently broadcast. Scientific data\nsupporting the presence & effect of human pheromones have become more\nsubstantial in the last couple of years. Interestingly, perfume companies\nhave recently begun playing up the nature of human pheromones!\n\nDr. Dinsmore
