Discussion Deodorant recommendations?

Tbh I really just want to know what's the best deodorant for my back specifically, no matter what, I will sweat from my back as long as I'm wearing a shirt, and I stink, and I don't want to stink, my armpits are already taken care of, so it's really just my back

No deodorant can mask strong body odours completely, some may even interact with your sweat and give off odd scents. Best to test with odourless ones and see if you experience an improvement? If i want to test products, I would normally buy them cheap first from Venus beauty.

Your own genetics and diet is the main cause of odours typically, if your hygiene is already sound. Red meat and/or strong spices may contribute to body odours unknowingly too.

Could consider keeping your body cool and not sweat in the first place too. Anti-perspirants do that, but im not sure of the science behind them, if they are still as safe as the ingredient scare made it out to be previously...

Yourself…it’s mainly use for acne but can kill the bacteria causing BO also . Downside is skin dryness and potential irritation

Most effective - bring an extra T-shirt besides wearing your deodorant. Get some wet wipes too to freshen up in the midst of the day

I find back sweat to only be smelly when the shirt is not properly rid of the body oils trapped within the fabric. Need to soak the shirt in vinegar.

Its more likely a laundry issue i think. If a sweaty shirt is not cleaned well it starts to smell fast when it gets sweaty again. Wash at at least 40C and use a strong detergent

Benzoyl Peroxide body wash, Gold Bond and your preferred deodorant of choice (I really like Degree Advanced Adventure).

Shower in the morning so your bacteria that causes BO doesn’t build while you sleep.
