Use a product called "Certain Dri." I think it's either in the deoderant section or medicine section. It's as strong as the ones that doctors prescribe, but u dont need a prescription. It's doctor recommended too. Don't worry. Excessive perspiration is normal. I have it and it used to show a lot and smell even tho I wasn't doing anything either, but then I heard about this product. U must continue to use ur regular deoderant, but use certain dri at night. It's this roll on liquid that u roll onto ur armpits right before u sleep. It minimizes the size of the pores in ur armpit so u sweat less. Try it! I'm sure it will work for u. I spent years wearing triple layers of t-shirts to try to hide the sweat and smell. Not anymore! It's available at almost any store. Try walgreens or walmart.

P.S.
It doesn't matter wat deoderant u use because they don't work. I've tried secret (it's the worst! it doesnt even help at all!), Mitcham (which actually stops u from sweating, but it smells really bad), Dove (weak!), and now I'm on Ban (it's ok). Just use any deoderant u want, but make sure u use Certain Dri at night. It has worked for millions of ppl including me. There are NO side effects.

Dear Marie

In answer to your medical question, the answer is as follows:-

Perspiring, or ( swetting of the body ) is nature's way of ex-spelling the bodies excess internal fluids and there can be many reason's why this is happening.

First, this could be due to your countries climate, or

Second, it could be due to the fact of your school, or college having it's central heating on etc.

Deordorant only mask's the smell of perspiration, or swet, but does not cure this condition.

A Anti-Perpirant may well stop the perspiring, or swetting, but Anti-Perspirant's tend to block and clog's up the skin's poure's and therefore stop the skin from breathing.

The best medical remedy for your perspiring situation, is to apply Talcum Powder before you go to school, or college and take a little with you in the event that you need to refresh yourself for during the afternoon. Talcum Powder will also prevent your cloth's from staining as well.

I therefore trust that this answer's your medical question.

You may have a condition known as hyperhydrosis. Talk to a dermatologist about it, and he/she may prescribe a more powerful antiperspirant. If the problem gets to be extremely serious, Botox injections to your underarms will stop or control perspiration for a few months there. Until then, try the different brands of ANTIPERSPIRANT, not deodorant, that everyone else offered. I've tried some and they work all the same for me.

I would try switching the brand. Some people sweat more than others. I know I do. I use Secret soft solid and I don't have that problem anymore. And check what the label says. If it's just deoredant, then you can still sweat, if it's antiperperant, then it stops the sweating. Though they used to say that AP was bad for you because it blocked your pores...we can never win!!!!
But try switching the brand for now. LAdy Speed stick is junk. Try Secret :)

you're not alone. some women really sweat A LOT during their days. sometimes you have to make up for it by buying clothing that doesn't show wet pits (be aware of the material of the clothing you buy). you can see your doctor if he has any suggestions...

when i was around your age i always had real sweaty hands and was really embarrassed by them, but now i realize it was worse because i was nervous and always worrying about it. i also may have grown out of it a bit.

i dont' know what other speedstick you could use. have you thought of trying those natural crystals? they kind of put a barrier on your skin....

I've used Secret. That's good! Now I use Sure. That works really well for me. You do need an anti-wetness formula and it should say something to that effect on the label or back of the bottle.

Also you can sometimes go online and get good coupons to those particular items. That way if you don't like it or think it works well you may not pay that much. Go to their site directly.

Tehy have this new thing where they use botox to help that problem. I would try a different brand of deoderant, and if that doesn't work, go to a doctor and ask about possible solutions. Like a dermatologist. And see if you can get a woman to make the experience more comfortable.

It is probably your hormones surging in your body. Try a deodorant for active lifestyles(sports). Degree is a good one to try. You could also use cleansing clothes to freshen up during the day. Be sure if you use a deodorant that contains aluminum, to switch every month. Your body will get use to it and the deodorant won't work. If the problem persists, ask your doctor for advice.

You need to choose a different brand, and make sure it's an anti-perspirant and a deodorant. May take you a few tries to find the right brand, so maybe the travel size format is what you need for now.

If you go to dove.com, they are currently offering free samples, might as well get one! I love their product, that's what I use.

The first one takes care of the sweat itself, the second one of odors. Also, to avoid odors, make sure to shave regularly.

well you may have hyperhidrosis, which just means excessive perspiration, dont worry try something like dri clor, which you put on at night, wash off inh the morning and reapply every few days, it works really well and is available without prescription. If nothing works go to your doctor, dont suffer this, its really common and you can get it sorted. Dont be embarrassed to see your Doctor that is what they are there for, and they wont tell anyone. Get it sorted and you will feel better!
