morning, my DD has only just told me she has this problem.Shes having to wash and change her top 3 or 4 times a day due to smelling sweaty ( just underarms ).
I thought it was probably her imagination but I had a sniff yesterday and I could smell it.
Shes 18 and a skinny little thing so don't know why shes suffering with this.
any suggestions for which product to use ?

should add, she does already use spray anti p but obviously not strong enough

mark...my daughter had this problem at about the same age...
she tried EVERYTHING...the very best & it works : ODABAN
Tell your daughter that she WILL grow out of it:-x
Good luck xxx

She should pop to the doctor as some conditions can cause this.

thanks for the link, i'll get her to have a look later 🙂
can you get odaban in supermarkets ?
I was wondering whether something else was causing it but if she tries what she can first at least she can tell the doc ( if it gets that far ) that shes tried 🙂

I think when there's a particular medical condition for the sweating, they inject Botox to the oxsters which stops all sweating.

One of my girls went through this - I found it impossible to get her clothes fresh, even with repeated washing/rinsing
I have 2 other daughters, & a son, who did not have this difficulty - of course they got sweaty, but it washed out
The problem did go, so do reassure your poor DD - but I agree, it might be best to check it out medically too

My son had this problem he bought a roll on deo out of boots it was about £7 and you just use it once a day at night for a week then every few days after that, I have just looked on the website and I think it was driclor but I am not sure, it was very good. Ask in the shop its worth getting.

Ah the dreaded overactive appocrine glands 😞 It will get better, but in the meantime get her some Cidal soap (Boots, may have to ask for it) It uses citrus extract to zap the bad bacteria that feed on the appocrine gland excretions and create the eye watering smell. If she washes with that morning and night and uses any gentle antiperspirant deoderant then hopefully that will get her through this hormone storm.
