Apocrine Glands: Both men and women have two primary types of sweat glands: eccrine and apocrine. Eccrine glands are distributed throughout the body and produce a watery sweat. Apocrine glands, on the other hand, are mainly found in the armpits and groin area and produce a thicker sweat. This sweat is high in proteins and lipids, making it a perfect feast for skin bacteria. When these bacteria break down the sweat, they produce the infamous body odor. Since men generally have more apocrine gland activity than women, this can result in a more intense odor.
