It is a good idea and a hygienic one to shower daily some people like to shower in the morning to start the day fresh and others prefer a night time shower to wash the day away. Use a non scented white soap for the best cleaning of the are pits. The other common area of smell is the pubic area.

When washing it is not best to take a hot shower as this will increase your body heat making you sweat more. Even after taking a hot shower your body temperature will remain raised making you produce more sweat than otherwise. So when showering use luke warm to almost room temperature water as this will help keep the skin cool. This should help improve body odor.

 Diet and exercise can also have a major impact on the smell of your underarms. A good diet and exercise program can diminish the underarm body odor.

The use deodorant or an antiperspirant will greatly improve the underarm body body odor.
