Hygiene Tip: If you think you smell bad, shave your armpits and pubes

You do NOT have to shave. Just trim the armpit hair, and the downstairs hair. Trimmed hair is more hygenic, and far less chaffing then shaving.

I doubt shaving your pubes will make much of a difference because they are trapped underneath two layers of clothing.

But don't our natural smell/pheromones help to attract females as well? I already mow the lawn downstairs just because it makes the tree look bigger and better, but I'm not shaving my armpits.

I shave my armpits and pubes. It's just something my parents taught me when I was a kid and I just kept doing it. I feel dirty when the hair grows out a bit. I don't think pubes add to smell, but shaved armpits definitely help. I think people should just try it once. I love the freshness.

Yeah, or use a deodorant.

odor usually comes from bacteria living off the skin. So it would make more sense maybe to use an antiseptic or possibly a small mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water and wash the area. Alcohol will sting.

I think they have at least one more purpose: nature's version of ball bearing. And they are great at that, so don't shave - trim instead!

Don't be an idiot. A thorough shower and a rubbing alcohol rubdown will kill just about any body smell.

Alternate option provided by my father years ago: use a little bit of bleach on your armpits in the shower. You'll regain a smell after a few days, but it'll be different and hopefully more pleasing than your old one.

You could also just wash yourself regularly. If your hygiene is good, and you don't combine a sweaty climate with excessive clothing, and you still are bothered, then the problem is in your head.
