Today, I have two options: 1. Use powder deodorant and don't have body odor for at least two days but get a rash, or 2. Use non powder deodorant without aluminium and not get a rash but get body odor the same day. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to use anti-perspirant deodorant under my breasts. FML

Today, my roommate told me she had developed a rash on her armpits, which causes them to be itchy. The doctor told her the only way to heal it is to not wear deodorant for a month. 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, I used a new fragrance-free hypoallergenic laundry detergent for my underwear, as I have sensitive skin. I got a rash. 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, 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, 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, while at work, I was trying to locate the source of the really bad BO wafting around, when I realized I'd forgotten to put on deodorant this morning. I have 5 hours of shame left to go. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Assuming you're already clean as a whistle, I'll say use both. Keep the rash for the moments when it's important to smell good like a meeting with your boss to ask for a raise, and use the BO for everyday working at the office and your appointment with the dermatologist/hyperhidrosis doctor you obviously need.

Body odor has a strong genetic correlation and several medical conditions (such as menopause, kidney disease, thyroid issues) are linked to worse body odor. Some people have enough issues with this that they may require straight-up surgery to fix the issue. “Just shower” helps for a lot of people but it sure as heck doesn’t fix everything for everybody.

Is the powder deodorant you’re using have baking soda in it? If it does, you’re most likely suffering from your pH balance being off due to the BS. If that’s the case, at the end of each night before bed, Pat your armpits with apple cider vinegar to help prevent the rash. I don’t think this is a long term solution though, but maybe it’ll bide you some to find something else. Hope it all works out for you!

If his PH balance was "off" he'd be dead

If this is such an issue, go see a doctor.

if you have the money, I've heard that botox works to prevent sweating in your armpits. I think celebrities are using it, especially for red carpet events. good luck
