1. When you get really nervous...

Do you tuck them into your armpits and then sniff them?

14. Get some Monostat

(not kidding-it works). It might just be yeast. Then change to another deodorant.
I used to get rashes from deodorant and this is what my doctor said to do. I buy Dove deodorant now-I know it's for women but you can get it fragrance free.

17. Use a deodorant and not an anti-perspirant.

I think most anti-perspirants have aluminum, but you can find aluminum-free deodorants. The Natural Crystal deodorant has no aluminum

...and there are others you can find in health food stores or on the internet.

5. Try Washing Your Hands and Rubbing a Stainless Steel Object...

Edited on Wed Feb-23-05 01:58 PM by The Great Escape

on your finger(s) as you rinse. It might not completely get rid of the smell but it can really cut the smell.

8. That's A Tough One

You could try bleach, but then they'd smell like bleach. Sulphuric acid? They'd smell like blood and it might be a little uncomfortable.

Personally I like the smell of onions. Who knows? You could start a whole new perfume fad.

21. Absolutely

You are right about the smell of onions while you are smoking. Ick.

As for smoking being icky? This will probably gross some people out, but I like kissing smokers. I also like the smell of bourbon on a man's breath. And garlic. My ex-wife smoked a pipe and I loved the way it made her smell.

12. They could smell worse

Did you consume the onions? Sometimes I smell like onions for days after eating them. Even more so with garlic. I tend to not worry about it.
