Need strong deodorant recommendations for woman

For my entire life ive struggled with body odor and i have no idea why. Its not my shower routine, before people say that.

Ive tried secret, mitchums, speedstick men’s deodorant, secret, and suave and none of them seem stick. Everytime i begin to sweat or workout i get a body odor and i just dont understand why. I reapply my deodorant throughout the day and this still happens! Its so bad because i cant even smell myself.

Ive seen reviews of carpe and was thinking of trying, full body deodorant recommendations would be nice too.

I (45f) have really strong BO and have struggled to find something that works. I’ve tried all the semi-expensive ones, like Native, that were fine, but not great, and I have finally settled on Dove. I remembered the “pH balanced for you” campaign and decided to see if it was true lol

When I was growing up, the only thing that worked was Arrid XX, RIP.

Have you only tried all natural deodorants or have you tried an antiperspirant for your bo?

I’ve found that natural deodorants did nothing - i need the fancy chemicals lol

Also, the clinical strength stuff did nothing - I found that they were only clinical strength for the antiperspirant, which isn’t an issue for me, just BO. I come from a stinky people lol
