How can i clean my armpits really good?

Ok so you may have figured but my armpits are really dirty.
I think its because i sweat so much.
So is there anyways i could clean my armpits really good?
Because i don't know how girls do it but they have SUPER clean armpits.
With nothing at all.
And i cannot wear tank tops.
And those are my favorite type of clothing.
So do you know how i could clean my armpits?

Try SOAP!

Source(s):

Here's what I sometimes have to do: Leave a bar of soap under your armpit for about 5-10 minutes.
Then apply deodorant. As the deodorant smell fades, you've still got the soap smell!

    Girls naturally sweat less than guys and have less hair so it's easier for them to have cleaner armpits.

    You could use some mens deodorant that focuses on reducing sweat, or have you thought of shaving? The best you can do is make sure you thoroughly wash that area every day with a wet cloth.

    I think soap and water should do the trick, lather up a washcloth with a good soap, and rub a dub dub, make sure you rinse.

    before you get into the shower clean them with an astringent or rubbing alcohol this will remove excess dirt that soap and water cant. use a mild unscented soap when showering because sometime scented soap can be harsh on your skin especially on sensitive skin (i.e. armpits etc.) then once your out you can use the alcohol again to see if there is any dirt left behind pat dry and then use a mild deodorant nothing too scented they only make sweat build up more disgusting. i hope this helps :)

    You have raised a question which concerns millions but you were brave to put it in writing. An article will be published which will answer your question in more detail. I have already submitted the article. Here is an extract from it.

    The Third and Final Choice: This is really the best method as it will work effectively and immediately irrespective of the initial sweaty or smelly armpit. After having a shower or bath, apply an antiperspirant and a deodorant to your both your armpits. Two images of antiperspirants are given in the article. This combination has two modes of action. The antiperspirant shuts down sweat glands this reduces bacterial count and the amount of decaying smell. The deodourant masks any smell there may be, even if psychological.

    I cannot place the article here because then it becomes ineligible for publication.

    The full article called, "How to manage armpit odour" can be read here.
