I feel like I could be writing what you all are writing: no deodorant works... I will smell 5 minutes after I put a shirt on after a shower... I've just come to learn that this is more than a deodorant issue though. So most of you are much smarter than I am! Out of curiosity, do any of you have IBS or any other type of intestinal problem? I looked up one of the remedies someone suggested, Robinul Forte to be exact, and found links to IBS, which I have. I'm going to keep researching, but I thought I could save myself some time by asking first.

Has anyone checked out the website nomoreodor.com. I am curious to know what product their referring to, that is non oily, non greasy quick drying topical solution. It can be bought at local stores for a $1. If anyone knows please tell because I am so tired of spending money on products that don't work but then again what choice do I have.

Rubbing alcohol at least one above 50% volume. Or you can also go the witch hazel route. A lot here have done this to no result. At least you just saved some money!

everyone has tried Certain Dri right? I knew someone who had very bad armpit odor. They didn't sweat much, but their pits still smelled very strong. They used Certain Dri and used a regular unscented deodorant on top of it and their odor was gone. The odor was pretty serious, no regular deo could cover it up. Worth a try if you haven't given it a shot.

Hey everyone, noticed there hasn't been any posts lately. It appears that we all are at a dead end. I am so sick of this body odor, it's just unbelievable. What can we do?

Yeah, i haven't posted myself in a little while. I keep trying everything I hear of, but yeah, it looks it is a lost cause.

I keep hoping somebody reads this and comes with a solution.

I think this board is pretty much dead. If you're looking for help the best place to check would be the MSN group: Body Odor Support. Besides that one there is the Yahoo body odor group. I know it's a terrible condition, but we just gotta live our lives. We can't just give up and get depressed. It won't do any good. I know it might be hard when people make rude comments to you or ask "what's that smell?" but just ignore it and keep going. Life is too short to sit around and mope. Make the best of what you have and eventually things will get better. Best of luck everyone.

Also, on a side not, I feel some people don't really have odor problems, they're just paranoid. People sniffing around you means nothing, it's allergy season and people always have colds and such. I think you're just being paranoid. Unless you have solid proof that you smell (like direct comments) then don't freak out. Check with an honest friend and if they say you don't smell, believe them. Maybe ask two people if it makes you feel better. *This comment is directed to people who claim they can't smell their own body odor but other people can.*
