Why does one armpit smell worse than the other - always?!


Question: More than likely you have more sweat glands in the other armpit. The sweat attracts bacteria and the bacteria have body odor.

idk they dont put deodorent on the other

that person is loaded with toxic.

Cos you might move one arm more so therefore the armpit will be more sweatty?....

do you only have one arm?

Because u sweat the most there. Sweat does not actually have a bad odor. the odor u smell is caused by bacteria that eat and live off of your sweat. yah i know gross haha

Because you only shaved one.

The smell is the result of the microbes that live in your armpit, typically attached to your hairs.

Try keeping your pit hair very short, to leave as little room for 'life to exist there' as possible.

The difference in scent may be due to slightly different sweat pore chemistry between the pits, or due to the particular microbes that live there.

When you sniff your armpits, when you tuck your nose under like you do, your nostrils encounter the smell unevenly. Armpit sweat contains pheromones, especially those pheromones that attract the opposite sex, but repel one's own sex, including oneself. Now, the brain processes those sex attractant chemicals more with the left side than the right, so, of course, one pit will smell very, very bad, especially when you sweat like you do, but the other might be, well, maybe, not all that bad.

This is, of course utter horse hockey, but it sounds pretty scientific to me. Don't you think so, too?

say if you're right handed and your using your right arm more than the other, it will probably perspire more

You're using RIGHT GUARD, you have to use LEFT GUARD, also!
