Sweat Does Not Smell -- "Body Odor" Is Caused By Bacteria On The Skin

The body has its own cooling system, and sweating is a major part of it.

Sweat itself doesn't actually smell, the odor is caused by bacteria on your skin releasing unpleasant-smelling natural chemicals in the armpits, feet, and around the genitals.

The best way to keep clean is to bathe or shower every day using a mild soap or body wash and warm water. This will help wash away any bacteria that contribute to the smells.

Wearing clean clothes, socks, and underwear each day also helps you feel clean. If you sweat a lot, you might find that shirts, T-shirts, socks, and underwear made from cotton will l help absorb sweat more effectively.
