So I currently use the tide 3 in 1 pods along with the Lysol sport laundry sanitizer. I use the sanitizer for stubborn odors specifically because I have been having issues with sweating recently. On the hygiene sub someone mentioned the Lysol may not be enough to get rid of the odors and I should come over here for better recommendations. I heard the tide powder contains lipase, which is apparently a good thing to have in detergent? I’d love to know your experience with the tide powder, both positive and negative. I’m open to any other suggestions for detergents or additives as well. I am hesitant to use citric acid because you can’t use on colors and I don’t separate my lights and darks if I’m being honest. I also do not like to use vinegar because of the smell. I used it once on towels and while it made them very soft, it took two washes to get rid of the vinegar smell. Thanks!

Okay so I’m 15m and the past month about no antiperspirant has been working. I used to use the dove women’s dragonfruit one because I liked the smell and it worked well. I went on a trip and ever since then I’ve been having issues with smell and sweat. I shower every night with a silicone body scrubber and dove deep moisture or gentle exfoliating body wash, but I wash my underarms specifically with the dove antibacterial. I also shave every few weeks or so. I apply antiperspirant at night and again in the morning. So far I’ve tried the dove men and Gillette clinical strength antiperspirant since the trip but literally as soon as I leave my house and do the slightest physical activity (walking) I start to sweat, not a lot but some, and then smell shortly after that. I first noticed the smell issues on my trip because I didn’t bring my silicone body scrubber and instead used my hands so I figured okay I bet if I go out and buy one it will fix the issue, it did for a little bit. I then went and bought the same type of dove antiperspirant but in the shea butter smell and noticed I started to have the issue again. Should I go back to the original antiperspirant I used? I start work in a month at a restaurant (heavily air conditioned) but I just don’t want to deal with this during work, or really at all. I also wash my clothes using the Lysol sport laundry sanitizer so I don’t think the smell is necessarily embedded into my shirts. I would really appreciate some advice and I’ll clarify anything if needed. Thank you
