I am way past periods and the menopause so this cannot be hormones (can it?) My underarms have become a ‘hazardous area’. I’ve never used chemicals if I can help it – deodorants, hairsprays - even make up is not something I’ve bothered with on a day to day basis and I do not want to give in to some toxic, noxious substance under my arms but tbh my underarms are occasionally toxic and noxious.
Careful but not obsessive about hygiene, I have to wash under my arms many times a day when the smell occurs and sometimes the stink is back within half an hour. It’s very strong and sometimes kind of ‘nutty’ (sorry if that’s too much information).
My partner says my ‘woman smell’ is sexy because he is an idiot. If I put on a bin bag and flip-flops and said that was my outfit for the day he’d say I ‘make it look good’. He IS NOT to be trusted where women’s presentation is concerned.
Yes, I’ve tried coconut oil and tea-tree and a wash with a bicarb solution. It gets rid of the odour but it comes right back when it’s happening. Other than staying away from human habitation for the four or five days it tends to last - any suggestions?
