I'm 22 years old girl and sweat so much in summer. The problem that sometimes my sweat smell like pee. I don't know why and of course I dislike that. Make matters worse that causes yellow armpit stains on my shirts. It looks like I pee from my armpit:( Should I drink more water? I just want to know is it normal and are there anyone here have the same problem?

    The yellow pit stains are caused by the ingredients in antiperspirants. Switch to deodorant and you'll be fine as far as that goes. Deodorant will also help with the smell, since antiperspirants attempt to make you not sweat, but it still smells like piss, deodorant makes it so what you do sweat smells delicious.

    Sometimes when I sweat it smells like nasty garbage and I feel like the toxic avenger. You post a lot. You just posted about having a hairy naval right? That is cute.

    it isn't normal, but is often temporary

    I can only think of 3 reasons. lack of water, improper diet, and the third one you needn't worry about at first

    drink more water, eat a balanced diet -- if the problem still persists, consult a doc

    Sounds to me that your body is having a hard time at filtering out toxins. (Could be an problem with your kidneys) Try drinking more water and see a doctor.

    Pure cotton is good to wear, as bacteria like it less than synthetic fibres.

    You sweat out toxins, you piss out toxins.

    Sweat and piss aren't overly seperate things.

      No, you don't sweat out toxins, you sweat out water with a little proteins among a couple other harmless things, and the smell is the bacteria on your skin breaking down the proteins into acids.

        Yes but also wrong.

        For instance, if you smoke (like i do) you'll notice that you sweat out nicotine. It depends on what you put in as to what you sweat out.
