there was a lotion/cream that one of my patients used... you apply it once a week or after every shower.. there is no smell.. there is no greasy feeling...

(she was 85 and had late stage bone cancer.. we got her into the sling once a week so give her a good bath but she was bed bathed everyday before anyone ewww's at me..LOL I had to sedate her to get her into the sling because it was so painful for her)

I will try and find the name of it for you

FOUND IT ******

(lol I'm not old... just have A LOT of experience with this)

My boyfriend and his mother are very allergic to perfumes, it will cause them both to have asthma attacks, so I too am becoming and expert at finding TRULY unscented things. My deoderant, the one with the least if not no smells that still ACTUALLY works, and yes I am a sweater too, is Dove unscented... but you have to get the one with the white cap. Full name: Dove Ultimate Sensitive care (the graphic on the front is green). I found arm and hammer is very unscented too, but does not work as well. I find too that it helps if I wash my underarms with an antibacterial soap, so any odors that the deoderant doesn't cover up are minimized. Try finding an antibacterial soap or body wash in unscented- truly unscented.

My granny used to use a mixture of baking soda and cornstarch, I think equal parts. Then she would put it into a powder box and use a powderpuff to apply it. She never had body odor. She also had severe rheumatoid arthritis that made getting in and out of the tub very difficult. She used to take spongebaths everyday and she always smelled fresh. Hope this helps.

Antiperspirant is the stuff I can't use - I had heat stroke as a child and my internal thermostat is all mucked up. I don't like that I sweat so much, and wish I could use antiperspirant. Deodorant just cuts the odor (DUH!) but doesn't do anything to prevent sweating.

There is a great mineral that I wish I could find again. It was wonderful. You dampened the rock of whatever it was and rubbed it anywhere you got sweaty, armpits, under boobs, crotch, soles of your feet. You still sweat, but you didn't smell and you didn't get heat rash, either.

Right now I'm using Tom's Natural Deodorant. It's a stick, like any of the mass marketed deodorant sticks. NO scent. Works very well.

I just wish I wasn't such a sweater.....

I got what seems to be an instant migraine from most deodorants and scented girlie body stuff......

The Dove unscented is my favorite commercial deodorant, hands down.

Also, google the Deodorizing diet, that may give you some good tips on foods that will help keep you more pleasant smelling...


Also, during the warmer weather, I almost double my water intake and add chlorophyll to my supplements...


All of this has worked great for me, and I can sweat with the best of 'em!


If none of this is appealing, carry around a spray bottle with vodka diluted a lot by water.....Spray and wipe your armpits as you feel needed, spray a squirt or two into your mouth as needed and it will all even out

Many years ago when I was a contract lineman I moved around a lot, so I reduced stuff I carried to a bare minimum. I always carried a box of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda. Deodorant, upset stomach, drying agent, battery corrosion, polishing metal and makes a good fire extinguisher. It did it all without any scent. It's U. S. Pharmacopeia bicarbonate of soda.

Try a bit of baking soda on the pits.Works great for sweat prevention,but it can cause a rash in some.

I also have a problem with scents but also with skin irritation to about every underarm I have tried. Nothing worse than having your pits red & raw. Will check into the lavilin says hypoallergenic to me worth a try.

Almay makes a nice fragrance free antiperspirant gel. Works great and has no fragrance added. Some unscented products have things added to neutralize the smell of the product. Fragrance free is the way to go, if you're sensitive to them.
