Triple antibiotic ointment in place of deodorant.  No more smell.

Please don't do this! It can lead to antibiotic resistance, and has been linked to the spread of MRSA. Deodorant is inexpensive (even I just use regular old Dove), even cheaper than antibiotic ointment.

You may prefer to mask your offensive odors.  I prefer to prevent them.

 

Also, you should consider moving out of CA soon, before you fall prey to any other nonsense such as you just posted above.  Sorry, but you are way off base.

Ummmm, no I'm not? https://www.webmd.com/children/news/20110914/study-antibiotic-ointments-may-spread-of-mrsa#1

The study is published in Emerging Infectious Diseases. It suggests that these ointments may be one of the factors behind the spread of an especially severe MRSA strain, called USA300, around the world.

 

That's the same study.

Given global concerns regarding antibiotic resistance and relatively limited therapeutic options, especially for some species, such as S. aureus, the appropriate use of topical agents and the prevention of further resistance are critical.

Edit to add: I know I'm not supposed to mention him, but Alex got a bacterial infection last year on his outer ear, and they gave him muciprocin. He was told to use it ONLY for a couple of weeks. We overuse antibiotics in this country for purposes they were not intended to address. We owe it to each other to help fight the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria by choosing appropriate remedies that only use antibiotics where indicated.

Again..  your link mentions the one thing that seems resistant to the antibiotics.  Out of 259.  USA300.

We tested 259 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates and 2 USA300 ATCC type strains for 

susceptibility to bacitracin and neomycin contained in over-the-counter antibacterial ointments. 
Resistance to both bacitracin and neomycin was found only in USA300. The use of over-the counter 
antimicrobial drugs may select for the USA300 clone.

Nearly half of the USA300 samples grew unhampered by the antibiotics bacitracin and neomycin, indicating that they were resistant to those drugs. Another USA300 sample was resistant to bacitracin, but susceptible to neomycin.

In contrast, none of the 240 samples of other MRSA strains found in Japan were resistant to bacitracin, though more than half of the other strains demonstrated at least partial resistance to neomycin.

"I think this indicates that spreading of USA300 may be related with problems in North America, specifically," says study researcher Yoshitsugu Iinuma, MD, PhD, professor in the department of infectious diseases at Kanazawa Medical University in Ishikawa, Japan, in an email. Iinuma notes that antibiotic ointment is rarely used in countries outside North America.

 

That was from my 2011 WebMD article referring to the study you cited. I just don't know why you would use something more expensive and less effective at containing stank? It just seems like a kind of weird hill to die on.

You should come to my state and tell this to the huge number of women that replace every ointment, deodorant, and medication with essential oils (in pyramid schemes, no less).

Why?  Because you don't do anything but cover up the smell with deodorant, which allows the bacteria to grow unhampered, and increases the foul odor.  It's NOT less effective, it is HIGHLY effective.  Zero smell > reduced smell hidden by perfumes.

 

By KILLING the bacteria, either by washing with antibacterial soap or regular soap/shampoo, then treating the area with a topical that continues to KILL the bacteria, you eliminate the odors.  

 

Would you put deodorant on an infected wound?  Or TAO?  Why?

Also, I'd be willing to bet I spend THOUSANDS less than you do annually on snake oils and such.

Why do older women with all they have spent look so creased compared to men of the same age?

[laylalex 7,300]

I use Dove Body Wash, mostly. It's not very expensive and my derm recommended it. Occasionally I'll use a wash that pairs with a scent that I'm wearing that day to extend the sillage of the perfume. Mostly it's Dove though. It does a great job keeping me clean, even under my arms.   It's important to keep bacteria at bay, but not to kill the biome. No need to use anything very strong -- just choose the thing that works for you.

Asian women don’t 😁

All those chemicals they spend SO MUCH money on and slather themselves with.

[laylalex 7,300]

I don't know, I think I look pretty good for 34? I eat well, go to the gym and tend to my skin as instructed by my dermatologist. I love makeup and I select products that match my skin needs. If you know women who don't meet your specific beauty expectations, that's really about you more than them.
