My body odor completely went away once I started supplementing with zinc.

I too think that Baking Soda is the best thing I've learned from Roosh. Way better than Day Bang.

It worked great for me, didn't notice the difference so much until i checked my pits after a round of golf with a dry fit shirt on.
Normally, dri-fits soaks up every smell coming out of me and just reek after I wear one for a day or a round of golf. After this round, I couldn't even tell I wore the dri fit when I did the smell check. Baking soda works great. I usually throw it on right after I shower when my pits are still a lil wet, too easy!

Does anybody use Baby powder? I normally just put a little bit in my hands and rub it into my pits before I go to the gym and it seems to soak up the perspiration pretty well

In the summer I've used baby powder along with the gel roll-on for extra absorbency. But never alone as a deodorant, because it simply doesn't work. Baking soda totally kills any odor.

I tried (this sounds weird but don't knock it until you've tried it) shaving my armpits. Originally got the idea from my ex who suggested it. While I still sweat, with the hair shorter or gone, the smell doesn't linger as much. Zinc does seem to get rid of the odor for me, and I actually get a little more positive attention with a bit of sweat on me. I think it differentiates me from the hoardes of skinny Affliction tee shirt wearing axe body spray kids. I've had a few girls ask "what cologne is that?"

I think I've said it somewhere in this thread, but I mix the Baking Soda with Corn Starch in a 2-to-1 ratio (always tweaking). The Corn Starch deals with the perspiration and dilutes the power of the baking soda so that it doesn't irritate the pits after a few uses. Baking Soda for the stink, and Corn Starch for the sweat. Winning combo.
How are you mixing everything? I want to know because I havent messed with Baking Soda since I'm such a heavy sweater.

It's hard to find Arm&Hammer baking soda in Ukraine. I found a box and haven't seen another since, so I'm being quite sparingly with it? I use it to brush my teeth along with mouthwash mixed with a little hydgrogen peroxide and it works great. They have baking soda here, but the consistancy is a bit grainy, so I'm trying some baby powder for the arm pits, any suggestions?

Purchasing things online here is a bit risky, along with delivery etc. not worth it...

Recently converted to baking soda for deodo. Works wonders, nothing fancy, just generic soda and slightly damp fingers. All day odor free

Freshly squeezed lime juice is a great deodorant - the best I've found. Squeeze a few drops on your palm, rub it on your pits and you kill off the bacteria that live on sweat and make the smell. Works best if you use it every day for a couple of weeks, then afterwards you don't need it so often.

I quit. I use the regular arm and hammer deodorant. The powder caused me too much skin irritation.

I've been using some generic baking soda for a month now, brilliant results. I just wet my pitts and my fingers and rub the baking soda in until I can see no residue. I put this stuff to the test by not showering or applying anything to my underarms for 3 days. Couldn't smell a thing, amazing result. Best thing about it is that there's no fragrance at all, very important for fragrance freaks like myself.
My start applying this stuff to my gooch area. Gets really sweaty in those parts.
