Sweaty In The In-Between Bits; Too Embarrassing

Let’s not talk about it, don’t mention the smell, it’s just too embarrassing. The bits in between, pits, tighs and our ‘lady parts’ do smell, sometimes good sometimes not so good, let’s not mention it in polite company. But why are we so quiet on this? So let’s do something about it and talk out loud and proud about our bits in between. Find out all you need to know so you are no longer embarrassed and can tell all your girlfriends too.

Out things that rub together on hot days (or even cool ones) our underarms using natural deodorants just don’t seem to quite cut it and then there is the whole boob sweat thang…

It’s funny how we discuss most of our personal issues and problems with our friends but when it comes to ‘over-glowing’ it’s not part of polite society.

Remember the saying goes,

Ladies ‘Glow’ and Gentleman ‘Perspire’ and Horses ‘Sweat’

And that just says it all. It’s not polite for any woman to be excessive in their odour output. Why do we put these boundaries on ourselves? And how come there are just no products to help?

So one woman talked about her frustration but rather than just moaning about it she started her brand to deal with all of these issues. When Katie Sturino first launched her brand Megababe in 2017, not only were people not discussing the issues but there were no good products out there to help.

Her initial issue was thigh chafing, and seven years after launch, people are talking about it. The first product was the anti-chafe stick, which is hugely successful and aptly named Thigh Rescue

Now the brand has a suite of body care products, including deodorant and sanitizers. So let’s open up this conversation and talk Underarms. 

So let’s start by understanding why we express liquid from under our arms. Sweating is an essential part of life for humans. Without the ability to sweat, our bodies would be without its most important cooling mechanism. A normal bodily function, yet it can be uncomfortable and downright embarrassing for individuals with excessive underarm sweating.

Did you even know that there are actually two to four million sweat glands located all over the body. Eccrine glands, located on the foot soles, palms, forehead, cheeks and armpits, secrete an odourless, clear fluid that helps promote heat loss through evaporation. Apocrine glands, found in the armpits and genital region, produce a thick fluid that produces body odour when mixed with bacteria on the skin’s surface. Both eccrine and apocrine glands are activated by nerve responses to stimuli such as heat, hormones, emotions or exercise. 

So it’s real and it happens to us all to some level or other. To achieve underarm perfection start by using the Happy Pits Underarm Mask

Powered by charcoal and kaolin clay to draw out stubborn smells and impurities. Glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its powerful chemical exfoliation, Willow bark for a natural source of beta hydroxy acid (BHA) to smooth & clarify and tea tree to clear away dead skin cells calms redness, swelling and inflammation and reduce underarm bumps, Tea Tree Oil that calms redness, swelling and inflammation while Vitamin C brightens and is a powerful chemical exfoliate. And finally, Green Tea  which is rich in antioxidants to promote healthy skin

The applicator deposits the mask directly to the skin, keeping fingers clean and leaving underarms deeply cleansed, softer, smoother and brighter

Then comes the Space Bar Underarm Soap. Powered by activated charcoal & tea tree, Space Bar Detoxifying Charcoal Underarm Bar absorbs and washes away odour-causing impurities in just 60 seconds. The palm-free treatment bar keeps skin soft with hydrating avocado, sunflower & olive oils.

It contains activated Charcoal to naturally pull toxins, dirt and oil to the surface. As well as AHA to take off dead skin. Also, it contains Vitamin C works as an antioxidant to repair damaged skin.

Finally, choose your deodorant as there are several created with different needs in mind. For example, the Smoothie Deo Frui Enzyme Deodorant keeps BO away, because its made with PH-balanced fruit enzymes arrowroot to absorb wetness, and Bilberry Lemon and Orange derived acids to counter odour-causing microbes.

Or The Geo Multi-Mineral Daily Deodorant fights odours with the benefit of baking soda to kill bacteria. Included in the mix other minerals include Zinc oxide, Kaolin clay and Magnesium hydroxide some soothing add-ons like Shea butter and plant oils. Natural scented oils add to the gentle experience with Cedarwood, Eucalyptus and a hint of fresh Mint.

You may prefer the idea of the Rosy Pit Daily Deodorant again this is powered by natural enzymes and plant extracts to aid odour and wetness. With Willow Bark, Oatmeal, and Amino Acids to also retire and soothe whilst keeping you dry.

An added extra is that all come in regular and mini sizes so they are perfect when travelling, which means less to carry and more confidence whilst potentially being in a hotter climate.

Now there is no need to be embarrassed to not just discuss your excess levels but now feel free to discuss it loudly with your friends because there are products out there to help
