the stench from his armpit keeps them at bay

for some strange reason, it attracts my gf.

i shower daily and scrub the hell out of my armpit (left) to no avail. antibacterial soap too. anti-perspirant clogs pores and leads to other health problems, so that's a no go.

brb, gonna try the fire method.

You need to shave your armpits. and wear tank tops. All the time.

That'll help.

Seriously, this isn't rocket science. Why do you need help with this?

If you stink, you need to wash your filthy self. With soap. Yeah, that slippery stuff. And a stiff-bristled brush.

Christ.

scrub them with those steel wool brillo pads until they bleed. then apply rubbing alcohol.

Do you drink? Constant body odor problems, even if you try to bathe very regularly, can be a sign of kidney/liver damage, though rare.

Don't forget salt and pepper.

Steel wool plus rubbing alcohol is the answer. Apply aftershave and deoderant (in that order) liberally afterwards.

take a shower in the evening or afternoon, for fvck's sake.

and use a strong antiperspirant/ deodorant.

And clean up your diet, eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, less meat, less sugary foods and drinks.

Twenty hours?

WTF?

You're lucky you get that, wearing no anti-perspirant.

That's plenty of time for bacteria to divide about eleventy billion times at 98º...

Either you do something to make their environment inhospitibal, or you bathe every 12 hours.

I'm so sick of people complaining about the bad health effects of antiperspirants. Please stop being so pretentious or wussy, and use a goddam antiperspirant. You stink - and that is unacceptable.

Eat spicey food. Always. Nothing but spicey food. Never eat a bland meal. Also, lots of garlic, onions, etc. Breath will kill on contact, but no more BO.

Jesus christ, how difficult would it be to have a shower every 12 hours. Morning, and night. You are not living in the third world, water isn't expensive, so use it for god's sake. And how much sugary soda do you drink per day? You're probably guzzling it down, people who stink usually do.
