Less “heavy/greasy” foods
More fruit (and veg probably but I never did) cantaloupe was my personal choice
Exercise (I know this sounds counter productive)
But the first time I go and really exert myself after not doing so for a while, the smell is usually much more rank, like I can smell it without sniffing for the source rank. My mother would make get in the backseat of the car rank.
But when that exercise became regular, the BO calmed down.
Cut back on the antiperspirant deodorants, clogs up the pores, so the next time you do sweat you’ve got that old stank and that new stank. Or it can lead to possible cyst/infection, not fun.
I never figured out sweat stains though… so that I can’t help you with.
Spray on deodorants and cologne(over the clothes) , also dark clothes was how I got around that.
Keep body wipes on your person! Not baby wipes, body wipes. They come in smaller packages and usually look like makeup wipes. Most are scented, some pretty heavily. Like anywhere from 2-8 bucks at a CVS or Walgreens depending on size and brand. (Life changing once I figured this out) helps with the anxiety about using less/ changing deodorant, doesn’t clog up the pores either.
Smell is still gonna be there, but you won’t smell like a high school boys locker room 😖
Oh worm thanks! Yeah I haven’t used antiperspirant deodorant in eons (bc I’m a podcast shill (and the lavender rose smells really good) I use native) but I could probably use more water intake 🥴 and I’ll never say no to fruit. I probably also do need to cool it on heavy/greasy foods but when I’m out and about for 10+ hours a day at work it can be hard to avoid bc fast food is the most convenient option and I love fries dkfnsnfnsbs but I’ll defo look into body wipes :0
I might be able to help you with sweat stains tho!! Oxiclean/oxygenated bleach can help, hydrogen peroxide can help, and I think as long as you use a little bit you can use dish soap and scrub that in and let it sit for a few minutes before you wash. Unless it’s discoloration at which point you may be sol bc that’s permanent ejfbddbnssn
