    Scrub hard (noy too hard) with lots of soap during a shower and rinse well and as many others mentioned, deodorant afterwards. That should keep the odour at bay.

    deodorant works, but i heard it gives u cancer if u don't swear (haha, that's a pretty bad myth that has been proven wrong i think..) there's no way to stopping odor :[ it's just there unless u wear odor or perfume or shower twice a day/ shave all hair in which area odor comes from

    If sweating is a problem, try consulting a doctor. He should be able to prescribe you with stronger topical antiperspirants. Deodorants are actually antiperspirants, just that many of them have perfume added to them to make you smell more pleasant.

    Waxing helps, but it doesn't take away the core problem. The problem with odour is sweating...while sweat is odourless, the moist area is a good medium for bacterial growth, and they release breakdown material that causes the stench. Body hair traps the sweat, so removing it will help, but then the smell will still be there when you sweat.

    haha. wouldn't ur skin just dry up if u take too many frequent showers. but ye u say u have an underarm odor problem but if nobody else rele notices then i wouldn't worry too much about it. but i agree with people saying shaving ur armpits. usually helps and perhaps the clothing u wear as well.

    ^ Normally, it's other people who notice that you have body odour. You don't normally notice it cos you're desensitised to your own smell...lol. So I think I can understand why it's worrying for her...

    I don't think your skin will dry up if you use moisturising shower foam. I sometimes shower 3-4 times a day.

    BO is acually good the hormones from the BO will attract people from the opposite sex that needs those hormones. do you see people that have really bad BO and still have a gf/bf?

    Just carry deodorant/antiperspirant and axe.

    If you start sweating O.D in the pits heres my advice.

    Go the bathroom. Get some tissues and wipe off your sweat from your pits
    Apply antiperspirant so you stop sweating.
    Spray a pinch of axe inside and outside of your shirt so your B.O goes away.
