Okay how many of you who have excessive sweating and body odour problem managed to fix it?

So recently weather so hot. It become worst when I have to ride trains from kelana jaya all the way to ampang like everyday for school. So i sweat a lot. Also the journey is no easy. There are many stairs to climb as well. So like it or not will sweat like crazy. I don't know if this matter but i drank many litres of water too everyday. But somehow developed body odour. Made me insecure all the time.

The problem is i could not find any commercial anti perspirant that worked. I tried nivea, adidas, rexona what la all bought from watson. I know those are not good.

Anyone here managed to solve their body odour problem? What about excessive sweating?

Anyone here had any experience going to doctor for it or tried any brands that worked? Or any effective methods? You know..like some people use talc etc.

Can share? Thanks.

Just now i went to watson again.
Saw 3 brands.

1. Perspirex
http://www.perspirex.com

2. Sebamed anti persiprant

3. Crystal brand natural salt.
http://www.thecrystal.com/product_information.cfmAnyone tried these? Good?


EDIT: ALSO IT WORTH NOTING THAT IF I USE SPRAY TYPE ANTI PERSPIRANT THEN I WONT SMELLS BADLY BUT IF I USE WATERY TYPE THEN WILL SMELLY MAYBE BECAUSE ONE WATERY ONE IS NOT AND WATERY CAUSED MY ALREADY WET ARMPITS BECOME MORE WATERY

My concern is more on to my dry skin..

I tot there's an article that says wear deodorant before go to sleep, morning wake up shower then use again and during the day u sweat less, odor less?

someone posted in /k/ b4, forget who liao, try search again.

I read about this as well.
Apply at night not morning?
Or should apply morning as well?

QUOTE(mffa @ Apr 16 2016, 04:49 PM)
Use crystal one..that is the most effective..I have little odour b4 but now have been solve by this..not because of too fat or sweat a lot since sweat does not produce odour.the bacteria that associate with sweat that produce odour..and one most important thing is u need to keep track ur diet..no kuah2..kari2 one.

Crystal will work?
I saw crystal just now at watson

QUOTE(kurangak @ Apr 16 2016, 04:49 PM)

Trim ur underarm hair

Maybe wear extra tshirt inside?
Or tuck out shirt. Reach office only tuck in.

Maybe ur metabolism too high. Maybe somehow control ur sweating? Like breathe slower.
Don't drink so much water b4 reach office. After u reach office then drink as u like.

Use deodorant. Also consider buying perfumes
*
i shaved my armpits.
i wear tshirt inside and outside...not working i sweat more
sometimes i brought two shirts to somewhere just in case...one shirt wet already then i change then the new shirt sweat again become smelly.
i dont know if this matter but last time i used to do HIIT.
I also have anxiety problems and sometimes depression.
i already bought so many anti perspirant at watson many brands dont work.

QUOTE(denieru @ Apr 16 2016, 07:59 PM)
Same problem here with the sweat bro. usually its the cloth you wear that makes it smell. wash them with those antibacteria and dry them under sunlight.

most of the time you sweat because your muscle are tensed. whenever youre out, try to relax, deep breathe, and notice which part of your body is tensed. dont clenched your butt/fist or suck in your stomach. even sitting or standing straight for a long time would cause me to sweat alot.

I have this problem. But i solved it myself. I already identify its a few problems.

Clothes.

Before you wash your clothes in machine, rinse the shirt with light soap, any brand. Then rinse again with normal water. Then only run in machine normal cycle. Then dry like normal. Will guarantee eliminate sweat urea smell at least 80%.

Body

No amount of body shampoo or anti bac soap will kill smell. The only way is to mask it. You can use good quality expensive cologne. All those roll on & spray isn't that great really. There is one that i have tried that really powers through smells. Its minyak attar. This thing is so strong, you only need to dab just a dot on the skin and the smell goes on for up to 8 hours. If i did not try it i would not know.

The problem is, they smell too traditional. Like versions of Indian incense. You either go for flower or wood based one.
*
what do you mean by rinse in light soap? put water and soap in a bucket then put shirts then rinse again? do you have to rub the armpits part?
but minyak attar smells really strong lol. im scared all my friends will laugh me.

QUOTE(JustcallmeLarry @ Apr 16 2016, 08:32 PM)
According to Sonaone, Rexona will be good for you.

i used it. not working.

I used to use this talcum powder. Need to use at least a month in order to see the effect. The plus side, you can buy it in bulk quantity. It's very cheap. You can buy it from Mydin.

I have same problem with TS. Just walk few metres or climb stairs, start sweating. Easy to sweat but cant stop unless shower. My BMI also normal. But my condition call hyperhidrosis. Nerve problem which make excessive sweat than normal person. For deodoran at armpit, i use nivea happy shaving. Smell nice, no foul smell. I think TS shold change under shirt to singlet maybe? Two tshirt make body hot n humid and easy to sweat and slow to dry and make the smell.

Also try use liquid detergent for wash your cloth. Usually powder base soap will make cloth stink. Maybe coz got soap residue? Or not dilute well myb?

Lastly try change your diet. Eating strong smell food like garlic, curry and etc also can make strong body odor. Can take but not everyday.
*
hi thanks.
i think maybe this is my condition.
hows the result so far with nivea happy shaving? sure wont smells bad? can you get this at guardian or watson?
i tried use singlet but it does not prevent armpits from sweating and smelling...
ok i will try liquid detergent soon...
sad i just bought powder detergent yesterday.

QUOTE(latte36 @ Apr 16 2016, 10:22 PM)
I also sweat alot but i am not fat.

Baju texture/material also relates to this. Some baju i wear sweat abit bau mcm haram while some not so.

All i can say is, use perfume lor. Avoid cheap deodarant, leave sweat stains on ur white baju
*
exactly. i dont know why people relate having body odor with being fat or not..
anyway use perfume will still have body odor? if im not mistaken perfume just mask it but not help to clear this problem.
i use cheap deodorant because im scared to buy expensive ones but then it did not work...

when i in aircond condition or mall,i having armpit sweat too.So frustrating...wear uniqlo arism doesn't help either..in normal condition,armpit less sweat.

Put small amount of washing detergent in water and rinse the clothes. You can hand scrub the usual high perspiration areas like armpits. Then rinse with water and then wash in machine. Minyak attar just just a tiny amount. 1 dot will last more than half a day. Put 1 dot just above armpit, left & right is enough. Yeah the smell is leaves to be desired, but its way more better than sweat stinko right? Obviously you don't slather the whole thing on you like regular perfume!!!

ok thanks will try use this wash method.

hahaha im scared using attar because the smells so overwhelming.
scared people laugh lol.

im reluctant to buy it as it is quite pricey.

i try other alternatives first then only perspirex.
i know the power it has is strong.

if all else fails then perspirex it is.

1. excessive sweating is called hyperhidrosis. your only options are surgery for permanent cure. otherwise you have to keep blocking ur pores with the crystals, which will cause sweat to be forced out elsewhere like ur scalp or hands. Not fun.

2. sweat DOES NOT CAUSE BAD SMELLS. I repeat, SWEAT ITSELF DOES NOT CAUSE YOU TO.STINK.
The reason why people stink is because of the bacteria on the skin that breeds in your skin or its folds, and high moisture content. Your sweat merely facilitates your skin bacteria to multiply and they release bad odours when they multiply.

Want to avoid bad smells? Wash your smelly areas very, very thoroughly. Normal soap is fine.No need antibacterial soap.

Then liberally apply an ANTISEPTIC CREAM. Don't use creams with triclosan because of MRSA resistance. You don't want to make bacteria more resistant. You can use creams with chlorhexidine digluconate or dexpanthen. A good brand is Bepanthen First Aid wound cream.

Apply, let it air out/dry then it will last a few days. After that need reapply again.
Your clothes a lot of bacteria. Wash them with bleach or a sanitizer to reduce the bacterial colonies on it.

Try these methods first, then even if u sweat a lot, you won't smell bad.

Trust me, I used to have BO problems too. Mostly it was the clothes.
*
So I should use Bepathen first aid wound cream on my armpits?
are you sure its safe? where can find that?

what kind of sanitizer to wash clothes?
can recommend? I have many coloured shirts so definitely bleach a no go.

For me, yes use nivea happy shaving can solve my problem sweating at armpit. You can use spray type coz more dry not wet like roll on. You can try first but result may vary. Can get at guardian/watson but find at woman's shelf ya coz that for woman's deo haha. But men also can use.

You also can try diff fabric for your cloth. From my exp, cheap black tshirt fabric that can find common at uptown tend to smell bad when long time use. I dont know why myb coz the black color they use? I always wear jersey type or 100% cotton.

You can use powder detergent but try not leave any residue to your cloth ya..
*
hahahahahahaha thats why i was about to ask
just now i went to village grocer to check for deodorant
and i found that nivea happy shaving is women one's lol.
im sorry i laughed but are you sure? hahaha.
wont smells like women meh
