I teach dance classes, and Zumba, and Fitsteps classes, and the last couple of years or so, I've noticed when I start to sweat at class that I get a strange smell, not easy to describe, but almost like wheat pack that's been microwaved (if you know what I mean?)

I feel very self conscious of it, and not easy to keep away from people at the end of class as I like to chat to my ladies and check they are happy and have enjoyed their workout.

I use deodorant, and always spray a bit of pervume on my clothing before class.

Just not nice, it's not like BO smell, just unusual smell

One think - sometimes my anxiety is increased if I smell perfume or after shave, one reason why I had to stop going to the theatre  …….. and I apply an anti-perspirant without perfume rather than deodorant - the first does what is says on the tin, the other is another smell to cover body odour.

Did you read my thread which I   

[elainediva]

i have found that too
i use simple shower gel(the clear one) it doesnt sting and has no perfume
and i use baby wipes when i go to the loo
its the armpit smell i cant handle-- i smell like a man thats been working on a building site when i get up in the mornings
but mum says she cant smell it

It probably smells 'usual' to her, my sense of taste has altered in recent years and the two are linked.  Himself says he can't smell me when I ask him to check 

[elainediva]

you could be right i just wish it smelled normal to me too its awful

I wash with dermol to avoid irritation and after i've peed, i leave pants down for an extra few minutes to air bits off  as my urine smells strong to me. I've noticed a 'chemical' sort of smell from underarm area and use perfume more liberally now.

i have to use a 48hour deodorant twice a day, good job for pound shops

Perfume can alter on the skin with hormonal fluctuations  .

I haven't used perfume for years 

Using a good anti-persperitant not a deodorant will help  -  they each do what it says on the tin! it's in the wording 

[elainediva]

ok will change to anti persperant and see how it goes

[CLKD]

Think about the wording - anti = stop sweating.  Deoderent - deodorises ;-)

If you can ease the sweating you won't feel that you are whiffy ;-).  I don't need to use either now unless I'm going to an event.  When I had lymph glands removed from under the arm pit - that area doesn't sweat!

I have in the past used both - at one time there were dual-purpose products too.

I use a bit of Sylk vaginal moisturiser as this seems to make everything smell more 'natural' down there!!! DG x
