sweatier/stinkier now that the weather is getting colder? need some HELP!!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
so i switched to a more natural deodorant over the summer-rubbing alcohol and some tea tree and lavender. on particularly hot days, i added some jason's deodorant, as well. for the most part i was good. little to no stink that was quickly remedied with another spray of alcohol. for some reason, it was worse on days i wore sleeveless shirts-like pitts mixed with air=stink. short sleeved shirts, eve on hot days produced little or no smell at all. now that it's fall, though, the funk is TERRIBLE!! raising my arms is completely out of the question. sometimes, if i'm really chilly, i will break out into a cold sweat and forget about it. P.U.!! now that i'm not using an antiperspirant, i can really feel it. that is also uncomfortable, too. i put on my pj's 10 minutes ago and gave my pits a spray-they stink again already!! i need some help here. i'm desperate.
i just ordered some vegan deodorant from etsy and i'm going to try adding chlorophyll and more zinc to my diet. any other suggestions, esp. for the sweaty pitts feeling?? i feel like i have those green cartoon stink waves coming from my body and on more than one occasion i have sweat through the pitts of my shirts. so embarassing!! both my dad and brother are super sweaty and stinky so i know where it comes from, but are there any natural ways of controlling the odor and wetness? i am thisclose to going back to my conventional stuff. HELP!!

I always end up stinky with sleeveless shirts even using conventional deoderant - so I almost never wear them.

I switched a few months ago from conventional deo to a salt crystal spray, and I am loving it. I specifically got the spray because I understood that the salt crystal deo only works when you start with clean, stink-free pits. I did not trust myself with the rock or roll-on, because if you get lazy and don't wash your pits before you use it, it can get contaminated and become ineffective. Maybe make sure you wash well before applying the deo.

One thing I have heard about the salt crystal deo is that it does not stop the sweating, it only minimizes bacteria growth that causes the odors in the sweat.

Hope this helps.
