Hairy Armpits And Body Odour

Gurfateh Jio!

I am a male, and I have never cut the kesh on my body.

Recently, I have started to have problems with my Body Odour....

I sweat alot, especially form my armpits and this causes me to smell 'unpleasant' during the day. I shower daily and use deodorants and antiperspirants, but to no avail.

I have read on the internet that hairy armpits decrease ventilation and harbor the growth of bacteria in the region, as such, most people suggest shaving the armpits to reduce B.O.

However, I also know that armpit hair acts as a heat sink, dispersing heat and sweat away from the skin so as to minimise growth of bacteria ON the skin (doesnt stop bacteria growth on hair).

I have no desire to remove any of my kesh, but I wish to decrease my body odour. It doesn't just affect me if people think I smell bad, its spreads a negative image of all Sikhs and Indian, as it promotes stereotypes that 'all Indians smell bad', etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions or remedies?

Better soap and body wash if need be lol.

I think you're using armpit hair as an excuse or you're a nonSikh making a joke. If you don't wash properly, it doesn't matter if you shave it all off and look like a lil girl, you still will smell bad. It's about keeping your hygiene up.

I don't think it's a non-Sikh to be honest. Search your feelings young padewan, what do they tell you? :giggle:

I think it's a fellow brother with a genuine issue.

Hey bro I can understand you know when you have hair it blocks your sweat or sweat gets collected as compare to clean shave skin

But for this u could certainly use perfumes and while bathing clean your body properly.

Carry one perfume everytime when you go to office or somewhere. You can easily find time to go out to washroom there u can spray perfume on your body.

There are lot many portable perfume bottles coming in market have those you can easily carry it in pocket :)

You can get special deodorants that help those who sweat excessively you just need to try different ones if you feel mainstream deodorants aren't doing the job.

Also shower twice daily and wash that area thoroughly with a good soap or shower gel and wear loose clothing.

The dark side has clouded the force. Uncertain the future is. :giggle:

I guess you're right, probably is a brother with a genuine issue. Sometimes the paranoia sets in. :lol2: :blush2:

I recommend using dove soap and getting a shower sponge thing and using it with the dove soap.

Everytime somebody makes a post they should take a picture of themselves holding today's newspaper just for our benefit, so we know who exactly is on this site. :lol2:

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
