How to stop smelling horrible after exercise?

[Orionaut]

What you eat makes a huge difference to how you smell, and I don't just mean garlic!

^^

This too, It is amazing how chemicals contained in food can pass all the way through ones digestive system, Blood stream, Lungs and skin and then still manage to extrude back into the world.

I am given to understand that most Chinese reckon that Europeans/Americans stink of sour milk. (AIUI, Asiatics are mostly lactose intolerant so while cheeses and yogurts are used as food, raw milk traditionally has not been)

I had the awkward moment in the lift with David platt and the ginger cop bloke from coronation Street

What on earth? This is ... it's just amazing

Also, shower and use antiperspirant like normal adults.

Its all down to open pores nothing you can do about it am afraid.

I am lucky and can sweat for hours and not smell, it takes about 3 to 4 days for my arm pits to start smelling with out getting a shower. I do shower all the time mind you.

My ex has very large open pores and she smells bad even after a day out with a little sweating.

Down side for me is dry skin.

Fresh sweat shouldn't smell at all. That smell is caused by the waste products of bacteria on your skin which feed on your sweat.

How long do you think it takes to cycle 13 miles

The sweat is already stale by the time you finish exercising.


Only way to deal with it is to wash after excercising

Switch to Mitchum roll on deodorant

Drink a lot more water, then your sweat won't smell like urine.

Don't exercise?

 

[XeNoN89]

I never smell after a gym session even though i sweat a lot

Are you sure it's not the clothes? make sure you're washing the clothes you exercise in on a high heat every once in a while as well, you need to kill the bacteria on the clothes. Probably ruin the clothes in the long run but biological washing powder isn't as good as a hot wash. also don't overload the washing machine

It takes hours to start smelling, unless you have a medical problem or your clothes aren't cleaned properly/

It really doesn't.


You're judt nose blind to your own smell

Just use a washing line peg

I think Blackadder's look in this clip from ~24secs is far more fetching.

Nah. It's likely the clothes.

I'll often cycle further than that then transition straight into a 10k run and I don't smell after.

I drink a lot of coffee? I eat pizza for breakfast . I wash my cycling clothes at 30 degrees with Daz, I thought you couldn't was cycling clothes any higher because the lycra would get damaged?
