We perfume a ton of deodorant, body sprays or perfumes to combat the body odor but keep in mind that it won’t help until YOU TAKE A BATH!!!

Always trim or shave your private parts to avoid sweating. Do it in a shower but at the end so that your pores may soothe and hair comes off easily. Never use a hair removal cream on your private parts before testing it on your arms or legs.

Girls usually hesitate in buying innerwear. Usually, they go to the shop, buy an underwear or bra, grab the pack from the salesgirl and it’s done!

Also, never use bras or panties for more than a year!
