My bf says deodorant breaks him out, so he won't use any, but he gets stinky! Is there something he can use?

Question

Does anyone know of anything that he can use. I mean I bought him some Tom's natural deodorant, but he won't wear it even. I don't know what to do. I hate getting a whiff of his armpits!

Answer 1

Other methods for controlling odor and wetness are to trim the armpit hair (less surface area makes less odor) and apply cornstarch to reduce the moisture.  However, these are not sufficient by themselves to control odor.  Also key is washing.  If he can't abide deodorant, he may have to wash his pits several times a day.  He can also consult a doctor or pharmacist, or a beauty store employee for recommendations of hypoallergenic deodorants.  But as his intimate friend, you should let him know that his odor is not under control.  You're one of the few people who can let him know this in a way that won't sound like just a random insult.  He may not be aware of how he smells, since he's right next to it all the time.

Answer 10

I have no experience in this area, but I know he can go to a dermatologist who can help with this. There are things out there that will work for his condition.

Answer 11

i really don't see why he's that "allergic " to deodorant, just force him to use a stick anti perspirant for sensitive skin! otherwise all he can do is wash his armpits seriously every now and then, wear cotton clothes and maybe rubbing some lemon juice on his armpits could help! the trick is very good for those who experience bad feet odor. so it might work for armpits too.

Answer 12

Definitely see a doctor - there are special hypoallergenic brands available and a doctor could help him find the best one.

Answer 13

BAKING SODA!

IT WORKS
