Weird - anyone else get this?

I'll make more detailed observations next time i go cycling - i'm pretty sure i sweat on both sides but it seems only my left armpit has the odour.

You're a freak! Seriously though, not that I've ever noticed.

weird thing but my right armpit, even when it's not hot enought to transpirate is transpirating, not smelling but still it is weird like a rain drop falling on your skin and you are not even hot

The bacteria in your left armpit have grown resistant to your deorderant. Time to switch brands.

I use to work for a guy that claimed the very same thing. He use to joke about it all the time.

It’s really hard to smell your own odor, it’s the same reason why when you take a shit it doesn’t smell that bad but if you leave and come back it smells fucking horrid.

Have someone else smell your armpits and get back to us, I bet both of them smell like shit.

I bet if he can smell one armpit through the normal sensitization to his own body odor, then he's probably got a seriously rank situation going on.

the fact I can smell one but not the other makes your point moot.

The fact that I explained this in the first post makes you a moot turnip.

Yeah happens to me too jules, the reason as far as I've figured depends on the way my body is positioned. See when I'm lounging on my couch playing videogames I might start to sweat on one side, usualy the lower side, or the one closest to the couch so whatever side I'm leaning to, even if it's slight. Otherwise though it's pretty even like if I was cycling.

this happens regardless of what I'm doing. Like right now I just came back from class (5 min cycle), and my left armpit smells but not right one

i dunno, try evening the food through your stomachs, your other side might not be getting all the nutrients when its being broken down

Maybe it's cause you were sweating on one side of your shirt some time ago and didn't wash your shirt and then wore it out and today you sweat on both sides equaly but the side you sweated on last time was still there and stank? :D

Maybe something to do with more sweat glands on one side? I'm out of ideas, go see a doctor?
