For all of you Stinkin' VFers!
I mean, literally stinkin'!
Am I the only girl who sweats on here, ha ha! I was just reading Dirty Little Secrets, linked to over on the Greatest Hits thread, and I was shocked to hear how many of you are able to re-use your workout clothes during the week!!! I don't mean that as an insult, I just mean that I've sweat like a man for most of my life, and my sweat doesn't smell like roses! I could never re-use my workout clothes, and I envy those of you who can! When I'm done with my workouts, I can't even stand my own stench, lol! So, for all of you other stinky people out there like myself - what are your favorite post-workout de-stinkerators? I actually just discovered my favorite bodywash of all time - but I have to warn you - it actually smells like a wet dog itself (...or a farm animal...or... fishy???) I don't know how such a smelly concoction can get rid of my own stink so well, but this stuff works: It's also good for your skin, since it's not drying. Like I said, I don't know how this stinky bodywash cancels out my own stink so well - but if you can get past its smell and the fact that it doesn't lather like normal bodywash, it's some great stuff! I'm also curious about trying that deodorant I've heard talked about on here - I think its called Lavilin or something? For those of you who actually sweat, what are your favorite products? And all of the Vfers who smell like roses can join in too, lol |

I am a stinky girl, too. I cannot re-wear workout clothes, I cannot. I have even changed mid-workout if I become soaked through.
Here are my go-to products: Shower gel: Everyday Shea Moisturizing Body Wash Shampoo/Conditioner: I've tried everything, even Wen, and I always come back to this. I buy it in 64oz size. Pureology Hydrate Deodorant/antiperspirant: Mitchum Power Gel For Men Unscented (Lavalin DID NOT work for me.) Technical fabric wash: Atsko Sports Wash (cold water, gentle wash, line dry.) Shoe funk: (available at Walmart) OdoBan |

I'm super sweaty & my sweat starts stinking pretty quickly. I do wear sports bras and pants 2x before washing, but only because I work out at home by myself.
Deodorant: Degree motion sense fresh energy scent Soap: Tom's of Main deodorant beauty bar w/odor fighting sage If the bar soap isn't enough, I resort to a cheap bodywash like Caress, but the soap is usually enough. For underarms: Cetaphil antibacterial gentle cleansing bar I use this only on my underarms and let it sit for a minute or so before rinsing off. It gets rid of any trace of stink. Laundry detergent: Purex natural elements + oxiclean (I have picky skin and this doesn't bother it.) For shoes: Odor Eaters Antibacterial Foot and Sneaker Spray (Usually airing out my shoes is enough, so I don't use this often.) Last edited by adawn; 09-23-14 at 05:22 PM. Reason: ETA oxiclean |

Stink-O Woman checking in....
i walk a mile to my office, and i am wet with perspiration upon entering an air conditioned office. i started using the Gold Bond spray powder after watching a commercial by Shaquille O'Neill. i keep it in my desk, and when i get to work, i spray my chest. it cools me off.

I use this detergent on DH's workout clothes. He buys the "technical" material that holds onto the stench something terrible! This detergent smells gross but it gets rid of the stink!
