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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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, 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
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, I realised in the middle of my shift how useless my deodorant is in the stifling heatwave spreading through my country. It's no longer effective against my awful B.O., which is a problem because I'm a mascot, and my costume traps the smell inside like a portable toilet. 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, I realized my morbidly obese, sweaty sibling is the source of a strange waft I've been smelling when I get home. He'll only shower once a week, so the apartment and furniture smell like sweat and sometimes poo, especially on hot days. I didn't notice until I went outside and stepped back in to follow my nose. FML
Today, I'm so chronically sleep-deprived that I sprayed a bathroom air freshener under my arms instead of my deodorant. FML
Today, I've tried literally every possible brand of antiperspirant deodorant available to me in my area. I went to the bathroom to discover I'd pitted out my favorite shirt. It's mild weather, I have done nothing active, and I'm not stressed. My body just loves to make me sweat. FML
Today, I had to use anti-perspirant deodorant under my breasts. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Has this happened before? Cause if not, even if it's hot, a sudden ramping up of the severity of body odor can be a sign of something wrong. You may want to see your physician, just in case.

See the positive side: Everybody smells this bad today.

I've had that heightened sense of smell at least twice in my life. If you're female, a pregnancy test might be a good idea. :)

You're in Surrey. So it's, what, 20 C today? Lol, I'm just kidding, OP. Sorry it's so hot.

That's what I was going to say. I live in England too and whilst it's been hot, it hasn't gone over 30C yet, it's averaged around 25C. We are due around 30C tomorrow though so that'll be fun for OP.

Strange. Usually, after a shower, sweat does not smell. Did you wash the armpits properly? Put cleaned clothes on?

You should use baby powder. It works really well and smells good too.

and it makes a nice paste when you mix it with the sweat

You might want to get that checked out. Even at your sweatiest, I don't think you own body odor is supposed to make you ill

You live in the UK, so how hot is it? Like 30 degrees?
