The long of the short of it.
I'm in an office in a small town with a 30 minute commute, so I'm basically in this chair for about 9 hours a day. I work with cold blooded lizard people who keep the office rather warm.
Crotch sweat, butt sweat, back sweat, etc. It all accumulates right at my fanny and I've noticed that by the middle of the day, the sweetly rancid smell of funk starts emanating from my crotchety regions. For reasons we all know, I simply can not have this.
What is an easy solution?
I use body sprays like Axe (specifically Old Spice) to act as a sort of buffer against my stinky ratio, but it's failing.
Is the solution something as easy as spraying the insides of my pants with deodorant?
Do they make Doctor Schulze for the ass region?

You mean women, right?
Seriously, WTF is up with chicks that they need 80*F in an office?
And I'd recommend a mesh chair as well... that's one of the reasons that the Herman Miller Aerons are so godly
until then, febreeze it and wipe it down with a paper towel or something
Unless you can get a mesh chair, try getting up and walking/stretching at least once an hour
And for goodness sake, stop using body sprays. Those things aren't appropriate for anyone over 16.
Baby wipes are the way to go; we used to use them all the time on extended field operations when I was in the service. Still being used, IIRC and they're great for camping or emergency TP when you're making a road trip. You don't have to carry a whole box with you when you go to the can because they make pocket sized packs these days (soccer moms with purses and whatnot).
And yeah, stop using the sprays to mask the odor. I'd recommend drinking more water during the day rather than an abundance of soda or coffee. The caffeine and sugar will only elevate your heartrate and cause more sweating. Look into B12 complexes if you start to feel an energy dropoff during the day from the stimulant withdrawl and stick with tea for beverage alternatives for a while. Ideally, changing these multiple factors in small ways will have a drastic impact without requiring a visit to a dermatologist.
Goldbond on the lower regions is like a thousand fairies gently blowing on your bits.
I've only been introduced to this over the summer at a camp I was working at and it's just amazing.
...I can't believe I just posted that...
That should be the first port of call in any unwanted sweat situation. Get a decent antiperspirant like Sure. If that doesn't work, then you can graduate to shaving your balls or covering yourself if talc or whatever. But normal people just use a bit of antiperspirant.
Oh, and wear lighter clothes. If the office is hot, wear loose fitting cotton. If it's cold outside, just put on a jumper and a coat before leaving.
Don't be that guy. I'm the woman sitting next to you (enjoying the 80 degree heat, I must admit) and thinking that if you turn toward me again and raise your arms I might have to puke into my trash can.
Yeah, we call that swamp ass or jungle crotch around here.
Get up and walk around once in a while, powder up your nethers, and go give them a precautionary wipe-down if you can tell the slurry is starting to really percolate. Baby wipe followed by Gold Bond would probably both feel amazing and take care of everything.
More comfortable anyways...
Oh and they should bring sweaters to work, and keep the temp low. At work, its easier to add clothing than shed it.
Yes, I use body spray, no not to mask the odor but to make my skin smell good for when the ladies get real close.
Bought some baby powder last night, so far so good. We have some mesh chairs but they suck.
It's not a lack of hygiene, I promise. I'm not a trashy nerd. No cheetos on my desk. Maybe it's simply not as bad as I think it is. I have horrible eyesight, so maybe I have super human smell.
Do you ever exfoliate? Getting off that dead skin build up can help with your back sweating.
