I just took a shower a couple of hours ago and I stink already. I don't know if it's the nursing hormones, the temperature changes in going from a warm indoor environment to a cold outdoor one, or the inability of my good all-natural deodorant to do anything productive. I shower much less than I should already, not that it matters any, apparently.
When I went to my mom's place over Christmas, I come in from the 3-1/2 hour car ride and basically the first thing that my mother says to me is that I stink and that I should go take a shower. And Vernon says the same thing. So, I go take a shower. After the shower, I put on one of my mother's shirts because her bathroom is right off her closet, and I don't feel like going downstairs to get a fresh shirt of my own out of our luggage.
At the end of the night, I change into my pajamas, and put the shirt I borrowed from my mom in her bedroom. And my mom comes up to me shortly after, like she's making some sort of public service announcement or something, and says, "You know, that shirt you borrowed from me smelled like BO already." And I'm like, "What do you want me to do, Mom? I JUST showered, like you asked me to." (You'd think my mother could learn how to hold a thought in her head without saying it at some point in her life... that would be nice.)
So, here I am again today, already stinking within a couple hours of taking a shower.
Sorry, world. Sorry.

Im thinking hormones because when I was nursing heavyy I seamed to stink always and my right armpit was ALWAYS wet. Strange it was only the right side huh? Good luck with the funk!

i have the all-natural tom's deodorant and the good old 'secret' full of chemicals. i always start the day with tom's and run to the bathroom an hour or two later to apply secret. unfortunately, natural deodorant makes me smell like a butt... even more than when my armpits are deodorant-free, it seems.
You wouldn't believe how many thoughts I hold in my head. I'm trying to get over that and say whatever.
geez, you have some judgmental readers.

oh man. if the above comment wasn't directed at me, i really apologize. i read it as someone saying i totally sucked for wearing secret deodorant. i might just totally suck for jumping to conclusions. sigh. i should relax either way, huh.
really loving your blog, allison. keep writing. it's my favorite!
Bethany - I think that was my mother commenting on how I made fun of her for saying thoughts that she should really be holding in her head. I'm not entirely sure though, because she posted as "Anonymous" and I haven't talked to her yet.
Funk Butter! It's truly amazing. I always needed something way stronger than the mystic armpit crystals and other natural defunkifiers that I want to love, but this stuff really does work for me, even when slapping it on after two days of no showering and already nasty BO. Really! I've converted my husband, and that's no small feat. And may I also say that I love your blog, and somehow it is drawing out a need in me to post about armpit funk and vaginal insertions all within a 24 hour period. Lovely.
Yes, my blog draws out the best in people, doesn't it?
