A 29-year-old male asked:
Is it better to not use antiperspirants so your sweat just flows out? maybe sweating is better for the body? problem is it makes my armpits smell.

Deodarant: Switch to a deodarant. Antiperspirants stop sweating and deodarants just mask the smell.
If you need help see the pharmacist and they can pick a better product for you to use.
