Your Bod

Stinky butt? Say what?!


I have this weird tendency to get bottom body odor. It happens only when I'm at school. I sit in a seat for so long, that my bottom feels wet and sweaty, and it smells. I don't want to spray perfume on my butt! What can I do to get rid of this never-get-out-of-seat-all-day funk?
 
Don’t worry, babe, we chatted up a pro for a fix to your sweat sitch. Dr. Dee Anna Glaser, president of the International Hyperhidrosis Society, said, suggests using a soap such as Dial when ya shower. You can also try a spray-on antiperspirant  on your booty to see if it knocks out the sweating.

“Wear clothes that are breathable, such as light cottons or linens, and not occlusive clothes such as polyester,” Dr. Glaser advises. “And make sure your jeans aren't too tight!” One more idea? Try wearing undies that wick sweat away from your body. Under Armour and other athletic brands have good options.

Still not helping? Visit your doc—ya might need a prescription to kill the sweat slick.
