Why do men have worse underarm odor than women?

It is not true with all men. Some men do have worse odor like some women do. It usually depend upon how one's body prespire. Some people prespire but they have no odor. It is not necessary only men have worse odor. It is actually how our body acts. Body odor can be controlled by using deodorants and perfume and using quick dry clothes. Frequent shower also help. If odor is uncontrollable, then doctor should be seen.

no, it's not determined between men and women, it's determined by the person. my mom sweats like a pig anytime she gets into any phisical activity. it's because she has a major nerve cut in her leg so there's no sweat there, so it comes out everywhere else. i know gross, huh?

Make sure you get the UNSCENTED ANTIPERSPIRANT (not just deodorant)STICK. Some are white but make sure is says goes on clear  OR DRIES CLEAR. Those perfumes they put in the scented kind like ocean or baby fresh etc. make odor worse. Try SURE, SECRET, ARIDXX, unscented antiperspirant stick. There is nothing wrong with you!!!!\n\nOh, use a good deodorant soap like dial, safeguard etc. Maybe this will help!!!

Well, they are there for a few reasons.  Way back in caveman days, men and women were supposed to be attracted to each others BO...yuck. And more hair there, meant more BO.  Also, pubic hair is there so there will be less friction caused by sex and things like legs rubbing together, etc.  Now, we really don't need underarm hair, but shaving pubic hair is just a matter of choice. It still does help decrease friction.

All parts of people smell in accordance to how often they wash said parts and if they wear some type of deodorant, anti-perspirant, cologne/perfume, etc....\n\nNo body part automatically smells bad because of what it is....but because of how it is maintained.

Yes they really do work here is a great article that explains a study that was done recently. I'm not sure about artifical phermones. You might want to email the people who did this study to find out more. Sorry.\n\n\n\n  When a Woman Smells Best\nBy Sara Goudarzi\nSpecial to LiveScience\nposted: 18 January 2006\n07:52 am ET\n \n \n\nThe scent of a woman is more attractive at certain times of the month, suggests a new study that had men sniffing women's armpit odor. \n\n"We were interested whether armpit odor changes across menstrual cycle," said study author Jan Havlieek of the Department of Anthropology at Charles University, Prague. "To test this, we asked a group of women to wear cotton pads in their armpits for 24 hours."\n\nThe women didn't wear perfumes, use deodorants, eat spicy or smelly foods, smoke, drink alcohol or use hormonal contraceptives such as the pill. Body odor was collected during three phases: menstrual (at the beginning); follicular (between the first day of menstruation and the onset of ovulation); and luteal (the fertile stage).\n\n"The fresh pads were subsequently rated for their attractiveness and intensity by a group of 42 men," Havlieek told LiveScience. \n\nThe most attractive smells, men said, were from the time between the first day of menstruation and ovulation. \n\nThe cycle\n\nThe typically 28-day menstrual cycle involves the physiological changes that occur in a woman to prepare for a possibility of pregnancy. It is controlled by the reproductive hormone system. \n\nA cycle is divided into four parts and starts on the first day of menstruation, which is the shedding of tissue and blood from the womb.  In the follicular phase, a dominant ovarian follicle—which is a sack that contains the ova, or egg—grows, becoming ready to ovulate. The mature egg is then released in the phase known as ovulation around day 12. The cycle ends with the fertile phase. \n\nAlthough many men would tell you they're always in the mood, Havlieek and colleagues discovered that men find odors during the follicular phase the most attractive and least intense. On the other hand, the highest intensity smells, corresponding to the lowest attractiveness for men, were found during the time of menstrual bleeding.\n\n "Traditionally it's believed that ovulation in human female is concealed and there are no changes in attractiveness across the cycle," Havlieek said.\n\nThe study is detailed in the January issue of the journal Ethology. \n\nFurther sniffing\n\nTwo other studies by different research teams came to similar conclusions. But those investigationsused T-shirts for odor sampling, "making it difficult to pinpoint the source of the smell," said Havlieek, whose team restricted sampling to armpits only. \n\nFinally, the attractiveness of women's faces also changes during the month.\n\nHavlieek's team found that facial images of women in the follicular phase—when the dominant ovarian follicle is getting ready to ovulate—are considered more attractive as compared to images taken in the luteal or fertile phase of the cycle.\n\nThe researchers hope to find out which chemical compounds are responsible for the odor changes across a woman's menstrual cycle

Yes, of course, I believe that all man and women have different smells and when ever you find the right one is not because you liek the way they look or the way they talk or anything like that but is because of the way they smell to that specific person, my mom used to say that all the time, our body hair releases that smell, and that's the reason why some people just fall in love with each other without paying attention to appearances and that is also the reason of why some super hot people are still single, because no one has yet find their smell, it may sound a little too ridiculous but that's just the way I see it!!!!

I love to smell my husband's pits but I would never lick that area. When he comes home from the gym or has been working in the yard I love his smell...I read somewhere that smelling your spouse's (or partner"s) armpits helps to keep a woman's menstrual cycle regular (that would not affect you of course)--sounds stupid but maybe it works. I just know his smell turns me on. \nI don't think what you are doing can hurt you health wise but you definitely have a fettish to be licking sweaty hariy armpits. Good luck with that.

Men give off more heat than women especially if they are more muscular and burn more calories via thermogenesis.  Most men I know in fact complain of the converse-- that sometimes their female companion's skin will feel cold.  My wife and i just snuggle up more, to average out the difference!  Have fun.

Hi, If his hygiene is otherwise good, he probably has a yeast infection, known as jock itch.  Yeast infections have a terrible odor, but there are many over the counter creams that will cure it. . Another possibility is maybe he is not circumcised.  Uncircumcised penises are harder to keep clean because of the extra folds of skin and this could cause an odor.

Basically everyone has bacteria on their bodies that can smell.  Bacteria like to be in warm and wet places, like feet, so on feet they tend to multiply more, and cause more smell.  This is the same reason your armpits usually smell.\n\nHowever, athlete's foot (a fungus) can cause smell as well.

Well, for one thing our genitals are covered in sweat glands called Apocrine glands.  They secrete sweat, but not like what comes from your forehead.  It's an oily sweat, and the sweat itself does not smell but the bacteria that attacks it causes a smell.  When a girl is on her period, her hormones are all screwed up and she's secreting more of that sweat, which in turn, causes more bacteria.  It's not because she's nasty...we're just made that way and some are worse than others.  Don't you love being a girl?

Articles in the press and on the Internet have warned that underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause breast cancer. The reports have suggested that these products contain harmful substances, which can be absorbed through the skin or enter the body through nicks caused by shaving. Some scientists have also proposed that certain ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants may be related to breast cancer because they are applied frequently to an area next to the breast.\n\nHowever, researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are not aware of any conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates food, cosmetics, medicines, and medical devices, also does not have any evidence or research data that ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause cancer.

Men only fart more than women because they dont shut up long enough to build up the required pressure

It's a combination of female hormone (estrogen) and the extra-special care that women take, in regards to their skin. You don't see (at least *I* haven't) men washing their bodies with loofahs, pumice stones and using a moisturizing soap ... followed by a good moisturizing lotion. We like to feel good for our men.  *sigh* ... the things we do to keep our man happy ...  :)
