If you’re a sweaty person like me, you'll want to invest in these innovative new ‘whole body deodorants’ before summer

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been of the sweaty variety. Girls back at school could simply pop their school uniforms back on post-P.E. lessons, whereas I would need about a can's worth of deodorant just to mask the body odour, secretly longing for a shower to properly refresh. Years later, I still get sweaty walking up a hill, am an oil-slick on a summer’s day, and even get hormonal night sweats aplenty (even when I’m sleeping, it never ends!)

So learning that all-over body deodorant was hitting the mainstream in a big way allowed me to breathe a small sigh of relief; finally, there was a product on the market not only designed to target lower back, boob and inner-thigh sweat, but there was finally something beginning to normalise this problem. We’re so used to talking about body odour as it refers to underarm sweat, but we shy away from going further to discuss what causes excessive sweating in those other "taboo" areas.
