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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

I use a lemon or apple cider vinegar, a hot towel, and then deodorant.

you need to see a doctor about this, they can give prescription strength deodorant

Spray rubbing alcohol on your pits and on the bar of deodorant, it'll help

As someone who lives in a place that reaches over 110 in the summer regularly, I have a few tips! Make sure you have antiperspirant as well as deodorant (or that your deodorant is water proof!) and the biggest tip: take a look at your clothing. If you have tight fitting clothes around the armpit so that the cloth is rubbing against the skin it can actually rub off the deodorant. Since I found this out I avoid wearing some of my shirts in the summer time. If none of that helps, speaking to a dr about prescription deodorant isn't a bad step.

I have the same issue, I tried all deodorant and ended up making my own out of baking soda and coconut oil until it has a similar consistently as deodorant sticks, now instead of the literal 9 times a day applying it I only have to do it once a day, every other day if I don't shower

Have you tried shaving them more? I have noticed my pits smell more if I do not shave often enough.
