OH Kelly u r too funny girl. I have the same boob issue sad to say and I am not even half way to goal. I know sad right, damn kids - lol.
I do not have an odor (geez that I have noticed), but I do get sweaty under the twins when it is hot out. I use baby powder all the time. It helps absorb it I think. I am curious what some of the other ladies have to say - I know we r not alone.

I hope everyone is not now thinking I stink. You'd have to have your nose pretty close to smell it. But I can smell it.

I think I'm gonna buy some powder. Or I could put deoderant under there... but that seems weird.

I've had the same problem for many years and I use deodorant under my breast. I used powder before that, but when I sweated, all it did was clump. The deodorant at least kept me dry and odor free. Occasionaly when I have skipped a day (bath), the deodorant continues to work well.

I'll try that. It's not that I don't bathe regularly, but I don't always want to shower every day. Other than the smelly breast issue, I don't think I need to. If I stay in the house all day and don't do anything to get dirty, I don't see the need. I used to have really oily hair and it bothered me if I didn't wa**** every day, but now it's fine if I just wa**** every other day. And I get pretty dry skin sometimes and showering often can make it worse.

I would use ammens body powder. It works great at preventing those annoying odors. I use it in another problem area

You def aren't alone. When I apply my deo after shower I swipe it under each breast and in the crease inside my thighs. No odor if I apply!! Hope this works.

OK, I'm gonna get some kind of medicated powder. I will also talk to my PCP about it when I see her (not until June). If it really is a fungal infection, maybe I could get my insurance to pay for a breast lift at some point if I decide I want one.

Now.... since we've all talked about my smelly boobs, doesn't anyone else have a question?

Sometimes when my patients had that problem in ICU, the doctors would have us place baking soda under their breasts and in deep skin folds after bathing. Just plain ole Arm and Hammer. It really cut down on the irritation and the odor. And of course keeping it dry as much as possible. Hope this helps
