Sweating & Odor

Dear American Girl,

This year I have had a big problem: sweating. I can’t

help it, and when it happens it is very noticeable. I wear

deodorant and I wash my underarms, but it never stops!

B.O. Queen

Everyone sweats—it’s your body’s

way of keeping you cool. But

when sweat mixes with bacteria,

it causes a smell. Wash your

underarms thoroughly with

soap every day—and every time

after you exercise. Then apply a

deodorant with antiperspirant,

which cuts down on the amount

you sweat. Wear clean cotton

clothes for gym class, and take

them home afterward to wash.

If you don’t have time to shower

after gym, wash your underarms

with damp wipes and reapply

deodorant.
