BO 😞

I read somewhere that during the pp period your BO will be stronger because it’s your bodies way of helping your baby find your breast! Many pp mamas struggle with BO. More natural or aluminum free deodorants might not have as strong of an effect as you’d like them to have for right now. I’ve also been told that sometimes men’s deodorant will do a better job covering the smell and then if you like women’s smelling deodorant better you can use that on top of the men’s deodorant! Just remember it’s not advised to use anything too strongly scented with a new baby as their skin is very sensitive to fragrance. Hope this helps ❤️

I have the same problem it’s been worse since I started my first period after almost 4 months

I had the worst Bo and I was using a men’s deodorant and it wasn’t working, so I switched over to the secret clinical one and immediately no more Bo best decision ever

OMG, I’m so glad I’m not alone in this. It’s driving me nuts! Even the clinical strength deo is barely getting it done. Everything online just says hydration and hygiene but it’s not enough 😭

I have the same issue. I use Lume and it has always worked great, up until I got my first PP period and now it only works for like the first 12-18 hours. It's crazy! I also still have discoloration in my armpits which is driving me nuts!

Try using light glycolic acid! I used to put that stuff on even before PP BO. The ordinary sells a 7% that’s like $12 and works great. The exfoliation helps get rid of the dead skin there that can trap the smell and sweat. I would just suggest using a small amount/pat at first to make sure it doesn’t irritate you, let it dry, then use deodorant

agreed!! Glycolic acid is great for BO ! I used it every 2-3 days depending on the weather, I applied deodorant in the AM and im good all day even with the heat !
