Armpits... lol

Especially since becoming pregnant...everything I smell is so much more prominent. And quite frankly it makes me mad lol I feel after I eat high fat foods, my armpits smell bad. And no store bought deodorant works...either mixes with smell or does not work at all. I am sooo sick of this...I am thinking of making my own deodorant. Opinions? Experiences? Note: I am a very clean person. Showers are my friend. :)

I thought I was the only one whose underarms smelt stronger! I literally shower 2-3 times a day and put on multiple layers of deodorant and still smell myself. I made my mom smell my arms though and she said she didn't smell anything so it must just be me. :/

Yeah, they can have a lot of icky hidden ingredients too. I use the blue dial bodywash, smells sooo good and is surprisingly moisturizing. I noticed a big difference with it, especially with my hubby's feet *eww*

I don't. But was thinking of getting some. Yes, I went straight to pininterest...lots of natural, easy recipes! I just really despise deodorant. All the added chemicals...and aluminum...which basically clogs the sweat glands to prevent sweating.

Do you use an antibacterial body wash? I use dial and once in a while when I feel like my deodorant isn't working I spritz some peroxide on my armpits. BO makes me so nauseas. I never thought of making my own deodorant though, I bet there's some good recipes out there for it
