Today, my natural body odor has gotten so bad that despite wearing 20 swipes of men’s deodorant under each armpit and taking three showers a day with an entire bottle of body wash, I still smell like a cross between onions and hot garbage. I’m a woman. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, multiple customers have complained about my body odor. Not only can I not smell anything, but I shower three times a day and brush my teeth seven times a day. FML
Today, it's so insanely hot that no matter how often I shower or use deodorant the smell of my armpits makes me feel physically sick. FML
Today, it’s extremely hot, so showering and deodorant does fuck all for my odor. I thought I could get away with having my arms pressed to my sides at all times, but instead, a boy I don’t even know physically lifted my arms above my head and loudly declared that I stank. FML
Today, despite using deodorant religiously and showering twice a day, my roommate still smells so bad that every time she enters the room I become physically sick. FML
Today, my girlfriend showered ten times, used an entire tube of deodorant, and continued to stink. It’s been like this for the past week, despite it being cold outside. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me because even though I shower thoroughly twice a day, I still stink. My mom showers once a week, never wears deodorant, and smells like roses. FML
Today, my boyfriend announced he has stopped wearing deodorant because he thinks his BO smells "manly." FML
Today, my mother chewed me out for not wearing deodorant and smelling of B.O. I was wearing plenty of deodorant. My shirt just smelled like my boyfriend, whom I'd been cuddling with earlier. FML
Today, my roommate found a solution to his awful body odor: bathing in vinegar. Now instead of smelling like a middle school locker room, the house smells like a chemical plant. I'm not sure which is worse. FML
Today, my doctor informed me that my severe body odor has no cure, no treatments, and is caused by… eating food. Not any specific food, just food. So either I can stop eating entirely, or I can smell like rotting fish in an outhouse. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This could potentially be a medical issue. I strongly encourage you to visit the doctor. There are various deficiencies in the body that can cause it to have problems breaking down certain enzymes, as an example, that can cause bad body odor... and medical complications.

You are now destroying your PH balance and this will make you stink more. Go to the doctor, it sound like you are digesting food correctly.

Any good hot garbage should contain onions. Who's your hot garbage guy?

I had this problem after I had my third baby! luckily it sorted itself out but I would go to your dr, a d try taking a prebiotic or something to see if that helps at all, I still do have to wear men's deodorant as well. I find using deodorant wipes to wipe away the old deodorant and reapplying has helped as well

Apparently it's pretty common while breastfeeding. I solved it with a 72h deodorant.

My boyfriend has a disorder that causes the same issue as well as severe sweating. He goes and gets shots every 3-6 months and it helps tremendously.
