It seems in today’s society there are very few things that cannot be discussed openly.\u00a0 People have no trouble talking about their medical procedures, sex lives, and everything in between.<\/p>\n
But there are still a few taboo topics out there, and one of them is body odor.\u00a0 No one wants it or wants to be around someone who has it.<\/p>\n
I’ll come out and say it –\u00a0 I I have been in a war with my armpits since I was 10 years old.\u00a0 They sweat like I’m running a marathon and smell even worse.\u00a0 \u00a0I have tried every kind of “clinical” deodorant\/ antiperspirant the drug store offers.\u00a0 They kind of work, but only kind of.\u00a0 I have tried men’s products.\u00a0 I didn’t sweat as much, but smelled like pine trees with a hint of armpit (It’s been suggested I try an unscented men’s product- go find one.\u00a0 Seriously.\u00a0 I don’t think they exist).\u00a0 \u00a0I have tried more powerful products available only online.\u00a0 They did work, but made my armpits break out in unpleasant rashes.\u00a0 \u00a0 It’s been suggested that I “detox” off antiperspirants entirely and just use a deodorant product.\u00a0 Not only is that not what even close to what the word “detox” means, but I would be soaked to the waist by 10am.\u00a0 I have looked into Botox, but it doesn’t last that long (a few months tops) and is not cheap.<\/p>\n
So my struggle continues.\u00a0 If you know of any non-mainstream brands that you think I should try out PLEASE let me know.\u00a0 In the meantime, please take a moment and think the next time you want to complain about the way a coworker, friend, etc. smells.\u00a0 I’m sure there are people who truly are unaware of how bad they smell, but some of us are truly doing the best we can with what the Lord gave us.\u00a0 We are no happier about it than you are, I promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
