    My oldest son, at about 13 years old, developed a bad case of BO. I spoke with a doctor friend of mine and he informed me that the most effective method for eliminating BO, for most people, was to shave, and keep shaved the underarms and the private parts. I passed this on to my son and he followed the advice. After he did this, about 90% of the body odor disappeared. And he started showering twice a day, and the problem was solved. He has maintained this practice and is now 37.
    The thing was, he didn't know he had BO, but others did. This happened in the summer time and I was glad that the issue was resolved before school started up again. If you know someone who has this problem, chances are they don't know it choose to ignore it, which doesn't help them or their standing. You must get with the individual and in some way, bring it up gently. You need to approach it as something they have, not something they do. It is not someone's fault if they have BO, but they need to know. I approached my son by starting off talking about how some people have physical problems, like crooked teeth or acne. I asked him if somebody had crooked teeth, was it the fault of the person? He said of course not. And then I said if somebody had crooked teeth, but didn't know they had crooked teeth, shouldn't somebody tell them? He agreed. And I asked him if someone could tell the person with crooked teeth how to get his teeth straightened, shouldn't they pass on that information? He agreed. I asked him would the person with crooked teeth rather know about the crooked teeth and how to fix the crooked teeth or not know? You see where this was heading. My point was my son never resented me for not only letting him know, he also appreciated that I was able to offer a solution. He was glad that I brought this to his attention. If you know someone who has this problem, please talk to them about it, in a kind way.

    In my case, my foot and armpits used to smell terrible when I first experienced puberty. However, I noticed that it eventually disappeared when I started taking care of my body such as taking a bath 1-2 times a day. I never used deodorants or any other chemicals that nullifies armpit odors so I really have no idea why the smell suddenly disappeared.
    But whatever the reason my foot and armpit doesn't smell, I am grateful for it. I mean I live in the Philippines and i am very much convinced that we only have two seasons; summer and summer premium. Scorching heat from the sun is a daily occurrence, making people here susceptible to excessive sweating everyday. I can't imagine the struggle of those who live in environments like this and suffer from terrible body odor at the same time no matter how much they take care of themselves.

I wet the powder with a pinch of water and then apply it. My skin is sensitive so I can't put too much, but as long as it covers the area the BO smell is not present.

    Fun fact: The mutated gene (ABCC11 gene) that eliminates body odour, commonly found in East Asians, is also associated with how wet or dry their earwax is. People with the mutated gene most probably have dry earwax, meaning that those with wet earwax most probably produce body odour.

      Hey! Try taking Chlorophyll (capsule, liquid). It helps get rid of body odor internally. Also, gently exfoliate your armpits with baking soda and lemon 🍋 for 2-3 mins. Use a little bit of baking soda, tea tree oil, & vinegar to create a paste you can leave on for overnight use. You can also buy antibacterial soaps like Dettol or Dial. Change your diet and consume less meat, diary and drink at
      least 1 gallon of water a day. You might want to try using Lume or Each & Every deodorant! Hope that helps yuh 😊

      plugging your glands with deodorant is just a mask. Garlic and onion aren't that healthy as people make them out to be and yet you can use alternatives for the immune system - like lemon and ginger! That's what I do! I always am ill when I eat alliums. Cleanliness starts from the inside. If you want to eliminate body odor, eat high chlorophyll foods - like cilantro and parsley - as they're alkaline, thus neutralizing all those proteins and fats that're acids.

      Respiratory mucosa is a protective layer covering the respiratory lining or tissue, which acts as defense mechanism against infections. When this mucosa gets congested (or shrinks) it exposes the respiratory lining to possible infectious agents, making it easier for viruses and bacteria to attack it and cause infections leading to a sore throat.

    • @MetallicReg
      @MetallicReg 6 років тому +18

      Bibek Sunar And this is the main point - it makes it more likely, it doesn’t cause any infections by itself.
      Yes there are always bacteria and viruses on and in us that act passively as long as our immune system is working right. However to catch a cold you usually need a specific amount of a bacteria type.
      It can be summarized that cold does not make you sick - being cold and having contact to other humans does make an infection more likely.

    I have to admit I was shocked the first time I went to Europe because of the smell people have during summer. I am from South America (Colombia), People here have body odor but the use of deodorant and antiperspirant is an everyday thing for us to use. It is not common to feel those smells in the people surrounding us. I suppose the Diet and the difference between cultures have an impact on it.

      alonso cadena Eat primarily a plant based diet like vegetables, fruits, grains. In general, diversify your diet with food of from all food groups besides meat. Food and diet is a complex and broad subject. You are 16, so if I had the opportunity to give my 16 year-old self advice, I would say eat healthier, less processed foods. Eat whole foods, learn to cook for yourself, regularly exercise and try to find time for yourself and a hobby to de-stress. Balance your body, mind, and soul. In affect, your hormones will balance from making good health choices.

      Everything begins in the gut. If your bad bacteria in your gut is over populating the good bacteria then you have a tma over load and it is distributed either through your sweat, breath, or other bodily excretion. So I suggest anyone who has these issues start making homemade kefir which is very powerful, over 50 strains of good bacteria, for every cup of it contains over 2 trillion cfu of probiotics. This Is just advice. Have a great day.

    Native guy from Canada here, as a result of us being a large percentage of (East) Asian (from about 20,000 years ago), I also have the gene variant that produces lack of odour. This same gene also produces dry earwax which I also have. Growing up I noticed that my white friends all used 'deodorant' so I assumed I needed it too and bought some, stopped using it though once I realized I produce no real body odour when I sweat. So, this variant must be at least 20,000 years old or so.

    One way to totally eliminate body odor for 12 hours or so is to spend about an hour in a chlorinated swimming pool. Also, if you ever start getting a weird/different body odor, an hour in a chlorinated swimming pool may fix it by killing off whatever bacteria is causing it, after which the "normal" bacteria will repopulate.

    I used to shower every day with aleppo soap to remove underarm smell, but it would work only temporarily and I'd just smell again the next day. So I tried shaving underarm hair and it did help a lot in eliminating body odor. However, after reading James Hamblin's , I neither shave nor shower and I never smell unless I'm sick or lack exercise. It seems that the microbiomes on my skin rebalance and adjust themselves without my having to clean or moisturize.

      Part of it is intrinsic. Rotten food smells bad because if you eat it you will get sick and that is the purpose of your sense of smell.
      Part of it is learned. Body odors aren't naturally bad the way rotten food is, but they can resemble smells that are, or lack of familiarity with it will make it jarring and thus off-putting, or it can be too strong (body odor standing around vs body odor after running a marathon. Big difference).

If you stays on the same deodorant for too long the bacteria become resistant to the chemicals that are trying to kill the little buggers. Try my little technique, you owe it to yourself and your friends... that's if you still have any left. Ciao

It seems to me that the only reason to have glands that excrete proteins is to deliberately send chemical messages to other people, which in this case seems to be telling everyone to stay away. How is that helpful? Also, don't women find the BO of genetically diverse men to be attractive?

    If your deodorant isn’t working well, try Play Pits-they reformulated a lot of their deodorants, and the one I use called ‘Queen’ works better than any deodorant I have ever tried. The baking soda free 'Love' formula doesn't work well for me. There are deodorant options for adults and children. You can use _smellgood_ to get 15% off of your first order.

    I didn't have armpit odour before I was 18 but after turning 18 I started having body odour. My daily routine didn't change much.
    Shower in the morning and night
    But I guess I am unlucky.. Despite all the ways to keep myself extra clean.
    I am still suffering from smelly armpit for 3years and half now

    My grandmother who was Chinese never wore deodorant and I used to be amazed by that because she also didn't have a smell (she also never had to shave her legs for some reason). I later on discovered that I too have that gene variant that doesn't require me to use deodorant. As a teen I used deodorant because I thought you just had too but then after forgetting to put some on and going the whole day without smelling I wondered if I even needed it to begin with. So I experimented and it turns out I don't need it. Lol

    Please acknowledge that what you perceive as a body odour problem, could also be a problem of the clothes and the washing machine. Especially if all (your) washes are done at 30 degrees and if you never run a drum cleaning cycle, bacteria can build up in your washing machine and your clothes can come out with more bacteria than they should have. You can test this by pouring water over the armpits of your child's (or the person's) clean shirt and then smell the shirt. Solution is to improve the hygiene of your washing machine, not force anti transpirants upon all family members. Thank you.

    What's this?
    -It can remove your underarm odor.
    What is the "underarm odor"? What's that?

    That was really news to me. As far as I know it's hard for you to find deodorant at convenient stores in Korea.

    Me: Who always uses rubbing alcohol on my armpit. (It helps a lot, but sometimes it may cause an odor it depends on the rubbing alcohol you use.’
    Note: Just don’t apply rubbing alcohol after shaving your armpit because it might cause stinging. :)
    Edit: Use rubbing alcohol twice a day, morning and evening.

    Well, I’m one of those people whose armpit is very smelly without deodorant.
    When I’m going out, deodorant is a must. But when I’m home, I let my armpit as it is. I don’t think it’s good to have the armpit pores “blocked” 24/7.

I'm aware though it's just that were in the middle of the class that's why i can't go out and change clothes. I mean they could have talk to me properly rather than telling it to all of their friends

    Tips to smell better:
    1.even though everyone says it SHOWER
    2.Put on extra perfume or deodorant. People say too much perfume wont smell good but its better than smellig bad.
    3.try some chemicals like apple cider, baking soda and lemon ect.
    4. Try diffewnr soaps and deodorants, maybe you didnt find your right one
    5. Find a way to see if u smell
    6. Reapply
    7. You are normal there are so many smelly people in the comments
    Dont beat urslef up about it.

    I smell like ammonia every day no matter how hygienic I am. It's embarrassing and people spread rumors and laugh. It's not funny. It's quite distressing to the point of me thinking of suicide. Every time I make a medical appointment for this condition, doctors and nurses say that I don't smell and that it's something wrong either with my nose, or they'll rule-out a brain tumor or they think it's psychological.
    In other words they can't help me. I don’t want to suicide but this is no way to live...
