    From my experience, it’s from the deodorant, not sweat itself. Not sure the fix, but I know people have had varying success with their methods.

      Yeah, Id always heard the yellow was sebum, but I switched to deodorant years ago and haven’t gotten pit stains since.

      I’ll second this. I smelled worse wearing antiperspirant than deodorant. I switched because antiperspirant gives me a rash, but it turns out i smell better with deodorant too.

        Same. I kept trying stronger antiperspirant, thinking the sweat was the stink but it turned out it was the combination of antiperspirant and sweat that smelled bad. Deodorant without antiperspirant works so much better for me.
