Control your diet, don't eat things with strong and unpleasant odor like garlic or onion. Alcohol might also be a reason. Washing more often might help.

Drink 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day to flush out fats and toxins in the body. DON'T wear rayon, nylon shirts, blouses, but cotton. Cotton breaths! Watch what you are eating and keep a diary. We are all different and certain foods can leave us with bad breath, upset tummy, constipation, diarrhea, body odor or vaginal odor in women or odor in men when urinating.

if you are worried about the smell of your sweat, even though you shower and apply deodorant, I would try a more expensive deodorant, from one of the good cosmetics brands (the roc one and the lancome one are espscially good), they simply work!

All the posters are correct, but I wanted to add that it's your body chemistry that could be the problem. There are many people that are hygenically clean, but still have body odor. See your doctor! They can help you with this problem. Also, NEVER wear synthetic clothes, but cotton. If you are getting dressed up for the evening it's OK to wear something with a cotton/nylon blend, but for work wear at least cotton blouses or shirts. Synthetic fabrics don't allow your skin to breath. This includes underwear!

Where deodorants and soaps fail, only special anti-odor liquids, commonly sold as cleansing foams (for example BromEX foamer) will do. They contain natural malodor solutions made from ribwortand liquorice root. These herbs are well-known for their gentle germicide effects!

What most people do not know about body odor: in many cases the reeking has nothing to do with personal hygiene, neither with the daily washing routines nor with the usage of soap or deodorants. As a matter of fact there are lots of people, suffering from a commonly unknown disorder called bromhidrosis, a innocuous but distracting illness which causes a permanent and penetrative malodor. The main cause of bromhidrosis is the bacterial flora of the skin. From this it follows that the main symptom of bromhidrosis is uncontrolled growth of special dermal bacteria. These bacteria assimilate the sweat on the skin, creating by-products like butanoic acid and formic acid which we recognize as the typical 'smell of sweat'.

Why does sweat smell bad?

certain sweat may, yes, smell bad. sweat comes out of your pores, and is used to cool down your body when you are hot. yes sweat smells bad Seat has phenolic compounds which are odor active, however, bad smell is due to the growth of microorganisms. Bacteria grow by utilizing sweat based compounds, and water content of sweat Body temperature, 37 C, is also very conducive to the growth of microbes. In fact, after a good 30-40 minutes run if the runner wipes his/her body clean of sweat, then the body would not smell too bad. On the other hand, if one lets sweat evaporate over the time (say a couple of hours), he /she would smell very typical of what we associate with bad body odor. This, indirectly show contribution of external factors such as microbes in bad body odor.
