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
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

No. Sadly this isn't ghe case. I am on the other end of the spectrum. As long as my skin can breathe, i dont sweat. Maybe I'll sweat a little on my forehead if I'm doing some sports otherwise i don't sweat at all. And people tend to think that's a good thing but they forget that sweat cools you down. And i just don't get that.

#2 he didn't mean literally everyone, it was an exaggeration, not everyone in the world is going to be sweating today.

Sometimes when that happens to me, I wear those little pine car air fresheners.

Surely it's dangerous for someone that sleep deprived to be working in an operating theatre?

Try shaving in the event you have armpit hair

Use a decent no frills anti-perspirant instead. Mitchum roll ons work really well. I find some deodorants smell fine to begin with but after a few hours really reek something nasty.

Don't lie. I live in the same country as you. Yesterday was cold and raining. The same as it has been every day here for the last million years.

While sweating a lot is normal in these temperatures, if your sweat smells that bad despite good hygiene there might be a medical issue you'd want to get checked out.

I recommend that you try odor brands of deodorant.
