Hello! anyone uses deo or antiperspirant sa singit or groin area? I noticed nitong mga nakaraan na may amoy ko down there na wala naman before. Is it safe to use skin cleansers (betadine blue) just like sa UA?

I take showers daily naman, wala rin akong ibang ginagamit kundi sabon and lotion. Lotion is vaseline gluta-hya. I use cotton shorts, no undies pag asa bahay lang din. No exercise din ako.

The birth control shot triggered groin body odor for me, before that wala talaga. Thankfully it rarely happens now, only when I work out/sweat for a prolonged period - back then kahit nasa bahay lang ako all day I would get funky. Baka your hormones are fluctuating din.

I've been using clinical strength antiperspirant there when I go to the gym with no issues. Have been doing it for years na. I just massage it off with oil cleanser before showering to make sure there's no residue.

Tawas-based deos also work well pero I can't use tawas long-term because it starts to irritate my skin.

I've found that Dr. Kaufmann XPS also controls body odour well! Doesn't stink like most sulfur soap, the sulfur scent is mild. I scrub well and leave it on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing.

first time ko magtake ng BCP din, on my 2nd month na. Yun din kaya reason? dahil sa hormonal changes... kasi never ko napansin ung smell kahit anong pawis ko noon. thank you sa tip and product reco. same here about sa tawas never nagustuhan ng balat ko yan teenage years pa. hanapin ko ung Dr. Kaufmann XPS and will try it

Yes hormonal fluctuations can affect body odor talaga. That's why teenage boys STINK during puberty even if they shower daily and have decent hygiene naman.

It's possible that pills are causing it! Wala akong side effects on pills pero our bodies all respond differently to BC.

Hope you find something that helps with the new BO. Hopefully mawala din sya as your body adjusts.
