anyone else with this issue...?
Ugh. This is embarassing but here goes...
I stink no matter what, I can shower 3 times a day and still... if I do not put on deodorant asap, I am doomed. I feel so ladylike. This sucks. Now I can count how many times I drank on one hand in the past 6 months so I am pretty sure the whole detox thing is not it. I feel disgusting, I wear deodorant not antiperspirant and do not smoke.

There is a paucity of deodorants available to females... we are not meant to sweat it seems, shelves and shelves of antiperspirants at the market, then the 6 and 7 dollar "natural" deodorants... and don't even get me started on that crystal thingie...nice racket, swipe a rock under my armpits?
Woe is Moo.

I use essential oil of pine in my lady pits. People seems to enjoy the scent and it nuke bacterias and stuff (and we all know, I not shower for weeks on end).
Also, some foods can make you sweat smell really intense, as can excessive stressing out. But I know you cool as cucumber in Ice Land, so that not you.

I have a pretty strong sense of smell and to honest find everyone smells. Perfumes deodorants all just make worse in my opinion. That being said my own odor even when offensive which is often no longer phases me. I figure if my odor offends someone oh well I could prolly find the same or something else about someone offensive to if I wanted too.
Dunno guess I'm out to impress no one thus I don't care.
Do you eat a lot of something that could cause it like lots of kimchi or garlic or something?
Maybe your sense of smell is just really good too. If only most people could smell themselves lol.

lol
I know, my middle name.... "sleepie zen garden of serenity and everlasting chill"
Alright I wonder if chronic stress makes this worse or if it is more acute like when I am actually stressing out..
I have essential oil of cedar... think that'll work?

No, no excessive garlic.
But my sense of smell is heightened and I read, oddly, that this is an effect of benzo withdrawal... but my situation has been observed by my bf.
As far as the benzo thing, this was funny as over the summer when I had started the whole process of quitting everything, I smelled a pizza we had delivered to my friend's house with no one in sight, they thought I was nuts then sure enough 3 minutes later the pizza guy was there.
Or I just have really good pizza radar.

Yep my sense of smell is even better if I'm well hydrated I can be out running and smell a dog pile from 100 yards. Having a great sense of smell is like life sometimes it's awesome sometimes it's terrible it's still a great sense of smell or life either way lol. Course with life there's all those feelings uggg haha

Tries the cedar, certainly won't hurt. I pick the pine cuz it lot stronger smell and I think the resin kills bacteria better, last longer. Is nice, people say, "oh, it smell like the forest in here, is that you?" And I goes, "why yes, I dab some forest on my pits cuz they was smelling like a spicy meatball sub."

I had excessive sweating just at the beginning of getting sober. Exercised a bunch and it seemed to abate. Today I don't use any. Do not know if it is the same for guys or not. As a side note other people should not be bothered by a human personal smell because people are supposed to smell like people not roses. Just my own opinion though. Exactly when did people become convinced others should not smell like people in history? Kind of interesting.

Probably skating close to the edge of "product endorsement" here, but this is the only thing I've used for years. I, too, want deodorant, not anti-perspirant.
Liquid Rock Roll on Deodorant: Lavender
Works like a charm for me -- and I've certainly had bad luck with other deodorants (read: embarrassing) -- and a bottle lasts about two months. A pharmacist at Community Pharmacy in Madison, WI, an indy joint, recommended it.
