How to Get Rid of Belly Roll Odor
Excess moisture between the flesh can aid in the production of odor-bearing bacteria. This can leave you with a foul smell emanating from the belly roll.

Employ proper hygiene and bacteria-reducing tips to reduce or eliminate belly roll odor.

1

3
Wear loose-fitting, breathable fabrics, such as cotton or a moisture-wicking material. These will absorb sweat and keep moisture away from your flesh where it can encourage odor-bearing bacteria growth.
-
4
Change your clothes promptly after strenuous activity. The less time sweat has to set on the skin the less likely the chance for bacteria growth.

5
Dust your stomach area with a thin layer of baking soda after bathing. This will help absorb odors and reduce friction from your skin rubbing together.
