[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you washing your underarms properly?  I don't mean to be rude/snarky but I know some people do not use a washcloth.  You need to use a washcloth and scrub the underams.  Wiping back and forth with your hand is not going to clean it well enough.

Sorry, but I had to ask; you never know.  Have you tried a baking soda-based deodorant?  I can't use it because it causes me skin irritation but I've heard good things about it.[/quote]

Get out of here with that.  Most grown adults don't use a washcloth when showering, yet most people (in the US) don't seem to have a problem controlling their body odor.

OP I think this could be hormonally based, and as our hormones change so do our needs.  Try Dry Idea roll-on.  It works like a charm on me - I found it after several fails with other deodorants. [/quote]

Ummm who doesn't use a washcloth??!![/quote]

I don't, and I'm a very clean person. Hands are all you need. Don't be afraid of touching your own body, PP.

1. Certain foods increase body odor, like onions and garlic.
2. Old clothes can give off body odor once warmed by clothing, even when washed regularly.
3. Odor comes from bacteria build-up, so it would make sense to disinfect your armpits in some way. This is what aluminum salts in deodorants do - they create an inhospitable environment for bacteria. There is an association between aluminium salts in deodorants and breast cancer (suspected but not confirmed). 
Some regions around the world have used alum rock crystal for hundreds of years, but this has not been tested re:increased chances of breast cancer.
