I always put on spray deodorant and then stick and I carry underarm wipes with me so I stay fresh lol some find it weird and kind of too much but imo you can never do too much when it comes to your hygiene.
I use a regular stick deodorant and am fine with that for 3 seasons and most of summer.
When we get a rare hot day, I use unscented baby wipes to wipe off sweat and will reapply deodorant if needed. I work in a factory which is not climate controlled...
I use gel deodorant once a day. Sometimes I skip a day and still don't have any odor.
My daughter has noticed that once she uses a certain deodorant for a while, it quits working and she has to switch to something else. Maybe that's what you're experiencing and why you feel like you have to use so many products at once.
Yes I think that's what it is! I think it'll switch it up.

Rather be weird than smell bad.

Wear clean clothes
Foot wear is comfortable and socks are lightweight.
Hair is combed and freshened ....I refuse to wash it every day...I like some oil to ease the dry ends..
I do wash my hands frequently ...when working with the public you tend to get into that habit....
I absolutely detest being dirty and I shower usually twice a day. I'm also pretty hands on with projects, gardening, bike riding, and more things that get you dirty. Having that sticky feeling comes along with it, and makes that shower feel all the better at the end of the day. I can't go to bed without having a shower first. Do I have any weird hygiene habits? No I don't think so.
I like to be natural so now I use Primal Pit Paste. I think you have to detox from regular antiperspirants before it will work as it's supposed to, but since I don't sweat much (or most days, at all), I wasn't using any products for a while before I started using it. It comes in various scents; I got the Patchouli and I really like it.
I only wear unscented deodorant, which can be hard to find in this ever increasing product line where there are so many scents to choose from it makes my head spin. When I wore feminine products those were unscented as well. An aquaintance sometimes wears baby powder scented something......deodorant? Panti-liners? The smell is not pleasant! I get nauseated smelling someone who is sweating and their "Ocean Breeze" or any other scented deodorant is apparent. I find I can smell the difference between scented hygiene products and perfumes/body sprays/scented bath washes and shampoos.
I recently switched to natural deodorant. Over the past 3 years I have tried various natural deodorants. Let's just say, some of the led me to keep a travel sized deodorant on me just in case.
During the experiment, I had a couple of days were I had to meet someone right after my workout class, so I kept some deodorant wipes in my bag. I also kept them around for when I was traveling and was out all day, or had a really early morning flight since the deodorant seemed to be a 14-16 hour one vs 24 hours.
But as the weeks wore on, the deodorant got more effective. And I don't have many cases now where I felt the need to reapply. I do keep a spray in my gym bag. It is not as effective as the regular deodorant but it helps post gym to feel fresher if I need to be out longer after class.
Well OP this will totally freak you out. I rarely use deodorant and rarely have any odor. I have some deodorant I can use if for some reason I feel I have an odor but on a daily basis no. I do bathe daily in the evening when my work in done. If I am filthy like today from shoveling wood chips I still did not smell but hated the sticky body feeling and the dirt all over me from the chips.
I am wondering if too much cleaning and washing is upsetting your natural balance and making more odor. I do know some people just have more body odor than others.
My skin is too sensitive and drys out too much to use the deodorant soaps.
I shower at least twice per day because I sweat a lot. Not sure if that is "particular" - for me I find it is necessary.
