Antiperspirant not working?

Sorry if this is tmi but... I noticed basically since I was a few weeks along my deorderant wasn't working as well, thought maybe it was my extra sedative prego nose but my husband told me it's not..(I asked)
I've tried stronger stuff and I doesn't seem to work, anyone else have this issue?

I am having the same issue! I smell even if I don't break a sweat and it's driving me nuts! I never used deodorant and so I thought maybe I just needed to start using it. It made me smell worse! I even tried using men's deodorant! My mom suggested using baking soda and lime or lemon. You basically make a paste and rub it on your armpits. I am going to start using the pasts tomorrow and hoping that does the trick!

Sweetbee3, I've been doing that but I swear it only last like 15min. The men's stuff it seeming to work now that I'm nearing my 2nd trimester and those raging hormones are stabilizing...lol as much as pregnancy hormones do.

Baking soda is really good. Or I recommend miessence deodorant. I lived in the middle East during summer months (over 40°C) and this deodorant worked wonders. Plus it's all natural, none of the nasty stuff you find in anti-perspirents.

I'm in the same boat! I was just telling my husband the same thing the other day and asking him to tell me the truth about my b.o but he won't be honest and I know he lies!

With my first my husband wouldn't dare tell me he truth about this but second time around he's learned better to tell me than have a girlfriend or mother figure tell me.

Yes you are not alone!! I carry some with me every where I go.  Our hormones are all crazy. Not to mention it's summer, what I do (and is weird I know) is carry it with me at all times, also baby wipes. So when I get a moment to my self (alone) I wipe my armpits and apply a fresh new coat .Lol I feel is better than adding to the muskkkk.

Sadly I was already using the prescription strength cause I was breast feeding my daughter and my hormones were wacky still. It just got worse when I got pregnant. Hopefully when my hormones even out 2nd trimester it gets better.
I'm thinking of trying men's stuff even if I will dnell like my husband
