Deodorants dont work anymore!???? HELP

Posted , 17 users are following.

What is wrong with me!!? Everything I put on makes me smell worse. I haven't wore deodorant for 2 years now. I shower and put it on hoping this nightmares went away and I smell like a skunk lol. Its really bad and only after its been on 10 mins. I have to wash it back off. 

Its really bad ladies help!!!!! I've already tried all of the secrets, lady's choice and degrees.

    I have the same thing sometimes. It's all the hormones, dear. They make everything inside of us so scrambled. It's crazy! I put on deodorant this morning and not long after that I smelled terrible under the arm. I thought to myself, "Did I put on deodorant this morning or not?"

      Lol its crazy isn't it!  I just wish I could go to sleep and wake up in a new body.

      I always tell myself when I see an elderly lady out in a store by herself." Oh look she made it through and she is all bubbly and happy, so there is hope"

       

      They are my inspiration...

      Hi Shar

      Driclor is fab... boots sell it.. never use on freshly shaved pits as it stings like a good un..

      it lasts for days and really works..

      i had to get Vichy 7 day  antiperspirant here they have it in UK too , thats good too its a roll on cream and lasts ages.. one application.. i have been a wet pit head for about 12 years now, peri and drop in hormones before etc... and this i dont worry about as its works so well.. 

      also when you feel nervous or when i do i get sweaty betty pits... nightmare

      Your mum and dad done good to Jay,don't stay together if not happy,so they've had it good trust me .I was married at 19 going on 20.Where did those years all go,we've both said that over time.

          So no wedding bells up for you in near future,? Third time lucky so saying goes Jay.maybe happy as you are,that works to,my husband is like my old dad who died when I was 13,all my family say he's so like my dad in nature,into his family 100 per cent.my dad only happy at home with my old mum and us kids,mum widowed at 41 never contemplated finding anyone else in her life,centred on us,sadly she passed from cancer at 59  good mum.

         Anyway life's moved on,you say you get ear trouble,as long as no ringing / hissing with it  your be okay,I was told about,meno and tinnitus going together,weird what this meno chucks up,plus this giddiness we get along with B........y balance.Women Drs got to get it,just got to I know of one who had meno insomnia,had to go to hypnotist in the end  after the tablet route,here a dr,go figure that one Jay

           You've been a busy bee today,wish they still done Well Women clinic at my surgery,they stopped it down to cost of providing 2 nurses,who runs the practice yes a male  speaks volumes.XX

      Hi Marlene

      i had insomnia for years and years, still have, its the actual dropping off to sleep for me, then when i do i wake every couple of hours its awful.. wake up look at clock all night.. always been a light sleeper which doeant help either..

      i was given zopiclone on and off but i take it only half of one as and when, dont want to become reliant, but... even with them i still wake so i dont know.. drives me mad too.. i have no side effects with zopiclone its good..

      Melatonin made me have weird vivid dreams.,. 

      I havent been to this particular well woman clinic before, its spoken very highly of,  private clinic, so we shall see, very thorough so thats suits me just fine...

      I had a smear at the local docs here in Jan and its something i cant discuss on here it was the most awful experience of my life, he wasnt spanish, lets put it like this, he used a big black and yellow workmans torch and i felt pain for three days, i couldnt believe the methods i was very frightened, thats all i dare say about it on here.. 

      wedding bells maybe one day, we have been engaged for 7 years hahaha

      i just say to him, ' i have got to be sure ' 😃 hes a lovely man..

      Not a good experience Jay ,I can imagine it,when. I had my son,had my waters broke by foreign dr,I've never forgotten that ever,pain.when having my girl ,was determined I'd not go in till I began labour ,2nd baby how much more you knew what goes on,better time having her all round.

          I don't have smears anymore,had them all,only 1 per cent chance of cancer after certain age,but that said I stay alert on Gyne side.

         I missed that insomnia to,but feel for those who have it,2 cousins suffer from it,ones had it for long time Jay.hey my husband does ,nothing for him to get up 2 to 3 times a night,I hear the kettle going one,he then sits with his Mail x word.ive heard of Melatonin,he's asthmatic,not to bad ,but got to be careful what he has.

         7 years engaged WOW,got to be Mr Right,as I said 3 rd time lucky ,first 2 call them your dummy runs.now the real Mc coy.got to have loads of confetti,hey I've got you half way hitched in mind  Ha Ha .thats females for you.Nice chatting Mar xx

      I knew that,Blessed,elderly I take to be these days are in there 80's,am I right Jay as to your mums age,even my GP says they take the 80 's to now be called elderly,as long as the government don't get wind of it,and want me to go and get a job Ha Ha know what there like,flog the working classes to death now,upped pension age another 2 years.

          I think the elderly have life experience they could pass on,given half a chance,men as well as women,my aunt in her 80's but I still ask her questions even at my age.Bless her heart,always gives me good advice.

          Glad you find your job rewarding  get to hearing there stories.Mimi X

      Driclor roll on is best, aluminium types for excessive sweating, i have that too, mines improving now post meno. 

      So dont need it much, it lasts 3 days the roll on, tried many this was the best for me

      That's the thing I don't sweat that much.. I just sweat if I go on a run or if I am really stressed.
