Tips.Net | Ways to Combat Body Odor

Offensive body odor can be a major problem for some people. If you need to reduce your body odor, there are several things you can try.

It is important to realize that every person has a distinctive smell, and this is normal. The smell is caused primarily by our sweat as we perspire, because our perspiration gives off an odor. This odor only becomes a problem when the smell is offensive to others.

If you sweat and the perspiration cannot evaporate freely, it is possible for bacteria to grow in the moisture. The best remedy is to bathe or shower frequently and change into clean clothes regularly.

If you feel self-conscious about your smell, use a deodorant. This doesn't stop you from sweating, but it can disguise the smell. Some people also try other masking agents, such as perfume or cologne. But don't be one of those people that substitute perfume or cologne for a good shower. Otherwise, you are making the smell worse.

If your feet smell, this is probably because the shoes you are wearing are not allowing the sweat to evaporate. Avoid shoes made of synthetic materials and those with synthetic linings. You can also stuff your shoes with newspaper overnight to help eliminate the odor.

Wear socks made from pure cotton.
Women should look for hosiery that allows your skin to "breathe" and air to circulate properly. You could also sprinkle foot powder on your feet before putting on your socks and shoes.

@familyjools Hi familyjools ... he is a very clean young man ... he showers a couple of times each day and uses deoderant so that is not the problem. His hormones are just stronger than most i guess.

[whyamerica]

i smell very bad every day and im never sweat i smell differently bad and i change clothes every day but still i smell bad and its very different then sweat smell and sorry for my english i am from iceland

[familyjools]

@aaliyahraks sorry to hear mate, im all good now but, i think it was just some hormonal thing or something, just wash his armpits and spray a little deo and he should be sweet

[aaliyahraks]

@familyjools my adult son has the same problem as you fj. He showers everyday and uses deo too, to no avail. You couldnt get a cleaner guy. Some people just have stronger body odour. Thats why i am here looking for a solution too.

Another useless tip. How did I stumble on this channel? It makes ehow look intelligent. Anybody else going duh?!!?!! Do they think we were raised in a barn?

[psstheyyou]

Keep your arms at your sides. Never raise them.

If a cop yells "Get your hands up!" just do it. The stink from your armpits will make him faint and you can simply walk away from his corpse.

Don't take up ballroom dancing. Unless your partner has no sense of smell.

Don't do cartwheels to impress the girls. They will faint. From your stink.

Never try to wave a cab down. The driver will faint and run into you. And an overhead passenger jet might get a whiff and come crashing down on your head.
