I have this problem. Every deodorant I have tried never works. It works for a week then my pits start smelling like halfway through the day. I even tried like the clinical strength deodorants, those worked a little longer, but did not last. I don't know what else to do, I take daily showers, wash my clothes, it's not like I am doing anything that would make me "smelly." It's very annoying and costly when I have to throw out all my shirts because the armpits smell like BO.

Did you ever try TENDSKIN? IT's an alcohol rub used for ingrown hairs. It's not made for that purpose put perhaps you could try it. Look it up if you'd like. Good Luck

You can ask for a perscription from your doctor called Drysol, it works fantastic at stopping sweating and order. You can also try Botox $$ but I have heard it is worth it.

But as other suggested try different brand deodorants.

You should check with your doctor, some people (I know a girl who has the same issue) just have overactive sweat glands and nothing helps. She also sweats excessively. She went to her doctor and he did some kind of treatmen and went on some kind of medication which did help a little.

Yes i agree with the dr part my son had to do the same thing . He went and got a medication and then a regular deodorant started working for him .I wish you luck things like this are not easy to discuss and I applaud your candor over it . Good luck .

I also have problems with certain deodorants in a sense that they only work for a short period of time. Also regular soap doesn't really work for my armpits. I soak a cotton ball in some rubbing alcohol, then rub under my arms, let them dry, and then apply the deodorant. I find that this helps me keep my armpits fresh. And if they do start smelling, I rub them again with some alcohol.

One word, Botox. It is a wonder drug that stops perspiration when injected in the under arms. Really! Research it.

The unscented version stinks like chemicals. Hate that stuff.
