  • My advice is to use a body wash or soap with salycitic acid. It’s in products for preventing or treating acne - the salycitic acid kills the bacteria that causes body odor. You can also apply a toner with salycitic acid directly to your armpits (Stridex pads work well for this - they even make ones that are larger for use on the body). I do this and have zero B.O. Some people use other antibacterial soaps like Hibiclens or Paroxyl.

    Also make sure that you are wearing clean clothes (wearing the same tshirt a couple of days in a row is taking a chance).

    ETA: This won’t help reduce sweating but it will help with the bacteria that feeds on the sweat.









  • Dr. Bronners liquid Castille soap. I’ve tried others but they are not as concentrated or as moisturizing. Great diluted for shaving legs.

    Sensodyne Pronamel Intensive Enamel Repair Toothpaste. I’ve reversed three cavities that were forming by using this toothpaste.

    Persil detergent. I use other detergents but always have this on deck for tough stains or funky items.

    Jockey women’s cotton underwear. There’s a specific cut that they have that’s flattering and comfortable.


  • Lots of good recommendations here.

    But if you’re willing to try YouTube again, you can watch seasons of the British panel game show Taskmaster. The contestants are almost all stand up comics. The challenges are extremely creative, entertaining and a bit twisted, and the solutions the contestants come up with are often really brilliant. There are 16 seasons and there are versions from other countries like New Zealand.





  • I’m a woman and I liked this advice.

    My tip: This might sound obvious but I’d have you wear a bright color, like red, in the first photo in your profile. It will catch the eye and stand out a bit. This is not my original thought - I got it from someone who was describing her experience on dating apps and what worked best for her. You want to catch someone’s eye while they are swiping quickly through pictures.
