You know when you get a whiff of something that is a bit off, and it sends you into a panic of- is that me? Well maybe not, but that’s me. Social faux pars are my fear. Perhaps more so now I work with unforgiving teenagers.
So along with the fear of is there something stuck in my teeth, is that me with the bad breath? Or constantly smoothing of my skirt for fear of it being tucked in my knickers or having a massive wedgy; bad body odour is my biggest social fear.
Now whilst I am pretty reliable with putting on deodorant, I am a parent who thinks for four others most mornings. So there has been the odd occasion where I have gone “holy shizzle that smell is me”. Which then sees me excusing myself and fearing the worst for my already no existent social standing.
Anyway, I read a really good trick for those moments that see you without a roll-on insight. Weirdly however most people have hand sanitizer in their bag and there is the trick. Dab some hand sanitizer on the underarm its kills the bacteria that makes the smell. Baby wipes will do the same thing – how many baby wipe baths have I had after being spewed and pooed on in my time- oh my goodness!
So whilst it’s not to replace deodorant it will get you out of a jam until you can get yourself some. After all its going to be a long hot summer. Have you tried it?
