A good use for anti-bacterial soaps is to wash the areas (such as under-arm) where the bacteria responsible for body-odour tend to cluster–as it temporarily (meaning for maybe a few hours) crashes their numbers.
Ewwwwwwww! Carmy, I can smell from them to mine, too! It is not pleasant to smell from them. Maybe I should spray the Lysol with anti-bacterial to kill their body orders.
The most cost-effective and useful method is to use plain old rubbing alcohol, which – as prasrinivara points out – kills a large percentage of germs. Follow that with a good powder, or plain corn starch, because germs need a moist environment to reproduce.
No, it doesn’t last all day, but it’s easy to repeat. You can get alcohol wipes, or even put some alcohol gel on a paper towel to wipe down when necessary.
Having coached youth (13-18 yrs old) basketball for 10 years, there is NOTHING that smells worse than sweaty, teenage boys, including cow manure and skunk! But I still love the guys I coached, and had hygiene discussions with them, when they wouldn’t listen to their mothers. Part of being a coach…

A teenage boy who doesn’t wear deodorant - it sounds like the premis for a horror movie.

I sweat so much that If I put deodorant in my armpits at the beginning of a workout, by the end of it it has all washed into my socks…
what to do?

Hypershock, do you sweat even shen you’re not working out? On places other than your pits? Hands, feet, etc.?
You may have hyperhydrosis. I do. Palms sweat all day long. Hold on to paper towels at office meetings. Aggravating.

You need to take a bath in Lestoil or Dettol Cruz!
