Don't believe everything you read.  Be reasonable.  Are you aware that there is a link between people who eat carrots and those same people having auto accidents?  Anyone or company can make a case for anything.  We have to be aware of the type of study that was performed.  Was it a double blind study, a clinical trial, clinical study, or an abstract?  In other words, how valid is the study's results.  Did this article appear in a medical journal or in a "vegan" magazine.  Be a little skeptical and question the things you read.  By the way, all those "natural" products, crystals etc. work to a degree, but everyone that I've known who use them stink.  Good luck.

just a comment...\n\nMy guy was using old spice body wash, and the matching deodorant. If he showered before bed i could hardly sleep with him. Don't get me wrong, it smells good, but it was so strong. So I bought him coast bar soap. He showered with that and then used the old spice deodorant and HE SMELLED WONDERFUL. He smelled clean with a HINT of scent from the deodorant..\n\nGuys, DON"T OVER DO IT. and stop trying to cover up your stink with cologne, we can still smell the stink through the over abundance of cologne. Makes me want to vomit...

Actually it is best not to use any underarm deodorant if possible.Most contain Aluminum Zirconium and other chemicals which are not good for your skin.I have heard on the news that some of these chemicals are being tested to see if they cause breast cancer.Bath and Body Works is a store you may have heard of that sells all kinds of body sprays and more natural deodorant products.

I know there is a shot that doc's can give for serious problems. I'd google some natural remedies in her diet. A girl shouldn't have that severe of a problem. \n\nThe ONLY antiperspirant that works for me is Almay Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant, Clear Gel, Fragrance Free - 2.25 oz - NOT the other Almay products. I get it at drugstore.com.\n\n\nDr. Andrew Weil's take on this situation is:\n\nBody odor\nMost body odor is the result of bacterial breakdown of sweat. Perspiration itself is normally odorless. An easy way to reduce the amount of bacteria under the arms is to splash on rubbing alcohol. Most commercial deodorant products contain irritating or harmful ingredients, including aluminum salts and dyes. Avoid the antiperspirant varieties. You can find better products in health-food stores, such as those containing extracts of green tea, which is antibacterial. Beware of "natural crystals," which contain aluminum even if they say they don't. Stimulant drugs, including coffee and tea, contribute to body odor by increasing the activity of apocrine sweat glands, special glands in hairy parts of the body that produce strong-smelling, musky secretions. Try eliminating caffeine if body odor continues to be a problem. \n\nAnother herbal remedy site suggested this:\n\nBeneficial Dietary Supplements\nChlorophyll is an effective deodorizer.\n\nVitamin B helps remove waste.\n\nZinc helps balance the body’s metabolism and reduces the cause of bad body odor.\n\nMagnesium enhances the effectiveness of vitamin B and zinc.\n\nThyme and Lavender Oils kill bacteria.\n\nSage, when taken in tea form, reduces sweat gland activity.

Actually using deodorant only covers up the smell but do not prevent armpits to perspire. I dun think there is any way to prevent it. Maybe you can try the wear short sleeves shirt that can air the armpits. I think your main concern is smell right? Just use deodorant or perhapes perfumes.

Being a nurse in internal medicine I encounter this problem occasionally. If over the counter Mitchum doesn't work (something I recommend to patients) then see a doctor. There is a prescription form of deodorant that works very well.

if deodorants aren't helping, my guess is that you have hyperhidrosis, which is just the technical term for excessive sweating. try a dermatologist and see if you can get DrySol, a solution you should apply approximately once a week to the affected area (underarms) which will pretty much stop your sweating.

Make sure you get the UNSCENTED ANTIPERSPIRANT (not just deodorant)STICK. Some are white but make sure is says goes on clear  OR DRIES CLEAR. Those perfumes they put in the scented kind like ocean or baby fresh etc. make odor worse. Try SURE, SECRET, ARIDXX, unscented antiperspirant stick. There is nothing wrong with you!!!!\n\nOh, use a good deodorant soap like dial, safeguard etc. Maybe this will help!!!

sound like you have hyper-hidrosis there is a deodorant called aluminium chloride hexahydrate unfortunately I got mine from the doctors surgery in England. The other things that were suggested were wear loose fitting clothes, lose weight and buy a strong deodorant which you have already done. I have had hyper-hidrosis for four years and the deodorant works a treat.

deodorant is used to just cover up the odor. anti persperant is used to close the pores so wetness doesnt come through the skin.

yes i had this problem too. You are probably allergic to your deodorant. go to your doctor and have him prescribe some type of medical lotion to heal it. Good luck, and i hope that it clears.

If switching to antiperspirant doesn't help and you have enough money, you can go to a doctor who injects Botox into your sweat glands for this problem.  It's expensive though.

For men, Mitchum is the best.  My husband wears it.  I heard that it is the next best thing to a prescription deodorant.  It is around $3.75 a stick.  It is supposed to be so strong that you could skip a day.  It never stains his shirts either.
