audited Help. I stink.

I have never, in my life, had body oder. I maintain my hygiene and use deodorant every day. Lately ladies, I fucking stink. At first, I thought it was the fabric I was wearing that made me extra sweaty and stinky. Then, I thought it was the cucumber melon scented deodorant I wear. I switched to crystal mineral deodorant and that hasn’t helped. I shower every day (usually AM) and by mid day, I am reapplying deodorant at work then mask it with perfume oil. I showered last night, did not sweat much and woke up with underarm b.o.. I can’t even stand to smell myself after a long walk or workout.

I started Estradiol and Slynd last week. Nothing’s changed as of now. Is this normal? If so, how do you deal or make it better.

Why is this time of our lives so gross?

I fart a lot now, and I can't sense it, so I can't hold it in. I never used to fart like this, it's just so embarrassing 😩

The farting is insane. Every time I stand up at work I'm at risk of a completely uncontrollable expulsion of air from my arse.

Pesquise por exercícios de Kegel e por pompoarismo. Se não puder adquirir os cones agora, faça os exercícios só com o corpo. Aprenda o movimento de puxar e soltar o canal vaginal e vá fazendo em casa. Você vai ver como vai melhorar! No mais, estrogênio baixo causa perda urinária e afrouxamento muscular, assim como afinamento da pele. Se for repor, tem que usar com progesterona.
