Summer is coming and I’m fat and don’t want to smell, help
I am very allergic to antiperspirant. I have tried Japanese brands and Old Spice and I break out into huge rashes that deforms the skin. In the case of Old Spice it burned layers off of my skin too.
I don’t smell THAT bad… but I do sweat a lot, and I’m hyper-aware of my body odour.
I know the best long term solution here is to just lose weight and change my diet and it will improve, but I want other solutions too please.
At the moment:
I wash my clothing daily with Oxy Clean and multiple laundry liquid tabs too. I don’t have a hot water machine so I also soak my shirts and tshirts in a hot water and Oxy Clean solution for multiple hours each weekend before washing after.
I wear those under arm sweat pads for my work shirts so the fabric doesn’t absorb the sweat and I can throw the pads away. For deodorant I just buy the most expensive roll on type that says it will do the job. Of course I am showering morning and night with appropriate body soap.
I think I’m doing all I can but if anyone has any further suggestions, please… I want to hear them.
