I usually shower at night & put on deoderant. Then I put on more deoderant when I get dressed in the morning. On days that I work out/go for a run in the morning I usually end up with a 3rd layer. & even then, on a really warm day or if I'm about to start my period, about half way through the day, I notice a faint scent if I happen to lift my arm...thankfully it isn't strong but it's so annoying!

I don't think so! I never sweat either which I think is weird - I get hot and sticky but never actually sweat!
-
@Mamaof2: my mom doesn't sweat either. She barely even gets hot! She will wear a light sweater & jeans & tennis shoes in the middle of a southern Texas summer! It's so crazy to me.
-
Not as much as DH! I'd have to really had a big workout to get sweaty. And unless I have to incubate for a whole day, I don't think I smell that bad?
-
I have to reapply deoderant on hot days. I try to use the clinical strength stuff, but yeah, i still need more before the gym.
-
YUP. I am anal about making sure I don't smell anything off when I lift my arms. I had two girl friends in college who insisted they didn't need deoderant...but a few nights going out dancing with them proved otherwise (I guess they couldn't smell their own BO) and now I *never* want to be that person.
-
Nope! I was shortly after I had DD. Omg. PP bo was the worst.
Back to not smelling though
-
You totally just reminded me that I forgot to put on deoderant today! Good thing I have extra here at work...
-
Yep...I've been on Fenugreek since LO was born almost 6 months ago. Fail.
-
I don't think so! I put deodorant on at night after I shower then again in the morning when I'm getting dressed.
-
Right now yes! I'm near the end of my pregnancy and sweat constantly! Pre-pregnancy I still sweated a lot when working out, but not quite like this!
-
Nope. I actually stopped wearing deodorant because I realized I was just doing it out of habit. I only figured this out after many days of rushing around in the morning to get LO and I ready and out the door and not putting on deodorant. I now only wear it during my period, on hot days, or if I'm working out.
-
Nope. I'm not a particularly sweaty person. The only place I sweat really badly is around my hairline which isn't really a smelly place! But it's annoying because I could never workout without showering immediately afterwards.
-
@ms.janedoe: haha, the same thing happens to me on fenugreek.
I never thought I was smelly, but I'm 4 months PP and feel like my hormones are making me smelly. A friend told me about this natural coconut oil based deo and I whipped up a batch and it is amazing. I'm usually not a huge believer in all natural DIY products, but this one totally works.
-
@ms.janedoe: Ugh, that stuff... I didn't know that it made you smell, so for the first week or so after taking it, I was seriously concerned about my BO smell! Haha
I'm generally not too smelly. Being pregnant and PP makes me smell a little extra though - I need like 2 showers a day!
Sometimes on the weekends if DH and I are busy with housework and don't leave the house all weekend I don't put deodorant on - never even miss it! I don't take the chance when I leave the house though...
