    Sorry cashmonger, but that is clearly not just antiperspirant build up.

    That looks rank.

    That doesn't even look the the armpit bit of the top :eek:
  • Why do you need to wear it to bed too? Bleurghhh, hate to think what state your bedding is in if you're happy to carry on wearing that rag day and night.
    • Bin the top and buy a couple of new ones
    • Wash more often then you don't need to overdo the deodorant
    • Wash your clothes more often
    • Buy a better quality deodorant
    • Don't be such a tight minger
    Over futile odds
    And laughed at by the gods
    And now the final frame
    Love is a losing game

    Throw the disgusting item in the bin.

    Antiperspirant works by blocking sweat glands , so over use will lead to bunged up glands, which will then ooze infection.

    That caking is probably a mixture of the product, body grease, leaked sweat and dead skin; to name just a few disgusting items.

    The jacket's fabric is probably rotten, too.

    Oh god that gave me the boak!

    No amount of vinegar and soda crystals is going to help that, I'm in the chuck it out and change your top more often brigade. How do you sleep in a zipper? Isn't that uncomfortable?

    I think you must be nose blind as there's no way that doesn't smell!
  • This must be a wind up. Why would you continue to wear that it's rancid

    Put it in the bin, for pity's sake woman. How can you bring yourself to put that garment on your body?

    lol, I actually tried cleaning it and got most of it off but gave myself a blister in the process.

    I will get another one now, but I was cleaning it mainly as an experiment to see if vinegar works.

    If you thought that was bad I better not post pics of my underwear. lol. just joking I do change those once per month.

    Im usually of the opinion if it aint broke dont fix it which is why I left it for so long. I havent had any health problems from it so it is only social reasons why Id need to do that and I dont wear it out of the house so that wasnt an issue.

    Though I just realised now where all the black hard chunks that were all over my flat floor which were like trodden on chewing gum were coming from. I could never figure it out. That indeed was really a nuisance so that gives cause to get rid of it.

    This instance reminds me of the time I found the culprit for all the little bugs that were crawling around my flat. I just presumed they were coming in from some cracks in the walls until the magnitude really started getting of concern. I found an infestation of larvae in this 5 year old package of bran Id hauled from a previous flat. I presumed it never went off. I always stay on top of keeping my cupbards clean after that horrid encounter though so I suppose this will motivate me to do the same in this area.

    So you don't mind being called a minger but there's an immediate reaction to be called a woman. Ha ha.
