How do i get better hygiene?

Question

This is embarrassing but I’m a smelly girl no matter how hard i scrub myself in the shower…… 
I’ll be smelling all good and nice in the morning but as the day goes on it goes downhill…. Over the years i gotten better at hygiene but In the summer time it’s worst lol 
My two main concerns are my armpits (especially my right one) and down there in the lady parts…
I be spraying myself with spray from bath and body works, using deodorant and deodorant spray, brush my teeth and i still be smelly. Especially down there and in my armpits….. 
I sweat a lot especially during workout so that doesn’t help.. I’ve been putting deodorant on before i work out but i still be smelly down there….
I wear breathable underwear like cotton and make sure i wipe myself whenever i go pee. How can i make myself smell better bc i feel like i smell musky down there especially at the end of a work day. I also be sweating down there so that doesn’t help… 
Any tips will be very appreciated!! Please don’t be harsh or mean in the comments…..

Answer

Bath and body works could be your issue! It’s pure chemicals and not good. I used to be like this too and I started using natural body wash, shampoo, deodorant and cut out any perfume, air fresheners in the house, candles, and anything bath and body works. I’ve noticed a huge difference. Maybe not right now because I’m pregnant.. so I have a different smell currently but.. for sure helped!

Answer

Your diet and water intake can be a huge factor to your problem. Try to drink some chlorophyll water to detox your body and pores and also switch to aluminum free deodorant, natural soaps and creams

Answer

If you shave it can make the smell less. I use dove sensitive body wash for my body. I do wash my area with soap and water. I shower 3 times a week. I'm a bigger woman I get super sweaty awhile at work. I wear a pad while at work so I don't smell down there too much. If the body smell is that bad maybe you should wash up after work everyday.

Answer

I use the brand Native for shampoo/body wash and deodorant. That’s all I use

Answer

I use dove antibacterial body wash and dove powder deodorant. I don't use sprays or perfumes at all. If I start feeling sticky I will reapply my deodorant and I also put deodorant in the creases where my legs meet my pelvic area just because I get a little sweaty down there. Change your underwear regularly as well. I work a job that causes me to sweat everyday and I do not stink. Less is more and stop using chemicals. B a th and body works scents do not last long anyway. After about 10 minutes they fade and you just end up applying more useless chemicals to the most sensitive areas of your body.

Answer

Lume makes great all over deodorant. Works really well.

Answer

Use lume! They have great wipes and body wash, soap and they are amazing! Like nothing I've ver used

Answer

I have the SAME issue with the pits. This is the ONLY Deodorant that works for me. You put it on while your skin is still wet after you're fresh from the shower.
I'm really putting it to the test now that my ac is broke and it's in the 80s in here. I sweat less with this and i smell fresh all day now! 
Also, try switching up your soap. An antibacterial soap may help for your pits. 
I have no advice for the smell down there except dont douche and get a mild soap. Also go to the doctor if you feel the smell is abnormal.

Answer

The sprays definitely make smells worse! Stop using them down there. Also what kind of smell? If it is a fishy smell you should go to your ob for a check up it could be an infection, I had that once. I’d go get a pap anyway just to make sure everything is okay! Do not douche or use too much soap on your lady bits. They make it worse by throwing off your pH. Hope that helps :)

Answer

You should definitely talk to your doctor if it’s bothering you daily and steps you’ve taken to fix the problem haven’t helped. 
The smell could be because of:
Body hair, sweat, tight or unbreathable clothing and underwear, perfumed or cheap body wash’s, sprays and deodorants, washing yourself too much, medications, foods eaten, not drinking enough water, consuming too much sugar, your period, sex, douching etc. 
Washing yourself too often or too harshly and using perfumed soaps and sprays can interfere with the skin environment and cause smells. Try avoid anything perfumed when washing those areas. Also avoid douching when cleaning your vagina because it can mess with the biome and pH. 
I had to start shaving the under part down there because it would get itchy and smelly and hold in the heat and moisture so maybe shave if you’re not or trim the hair if you don’t like the shaved look/ feel. 
Also I noticed if your underwear is old, it doesn’t matter if it’s clean your body heat and fluids will make them stink quicker each time. So maybe buy some new underwear and try wear some flowy outfits for a while to air things out? 
But again definitely see a doctor to help because some medical conditions cause bad smells. 
Good luck xx
