Now I'm sure there are better sensitive skin options, but back then the better option was either just baby powder under their arms, or there were more options geared towards women that worked better for them as they were marked to be "gentler."

There are substantially chemical free deodorants available at places such as Amaranch and Community Natural. They are great. Look up "Green Beaver Deodorant" for example.
Sometimes it's also the clothing... I have some older sports clothes that when they come out of the washer/dryer they smell fine, but after 5-10mins of working out the stink comes out. So daily work/sports wear tends to build up. I've learned to only wash my workout stuff with workout stuff and use the "Sportswear" setting on my washer, with extra rinse. More importantly use a sports-specific detergent which makes a HUGE difference as they tackle the oils/fats that are more prevalent from activity.
