Usually when I'm in school my armpits start to sweat and I don't even do anything. Also, my right armpit sweats more than my left one... they don't smell though. I use an antipersperant. It's really embarressing. I hate wearing short sleeved shirts and raising my arm. Can anyone suggest anything??
thanks

What works for the smell real well is one make sure you shave
at least once a week.
2. wash just that area with deodorant soap
3. then after just a tiny bit of cheap rubbing alcohol wiped with a paper towel (but not after you shave ) get rid of the smell and closes the pores thus stopping the smell and sweat for awhile.
4. a real good deodorant.carry a small one in your purse
5. In summer I carry wet wipes in a little plastic baggy so if I start to sweat and smell I just go to the ladies room wash my pits and re-apply deodorant.
6. They also have sweat guards you can buy and place in your shirts there kind of like light pads that pin and fold over right at the sleeve area.then you just toss them when there soiled.
My husband is a doc a big guy and no longer sweats bad since he has been doing this. Hope it helps

I used to have this problem too. It's usually a comfort-related thing. If I felt uncomfortable, I tended to sweat more under the arms. When I was wearing comfortable clothing and I felt secure in my surroundings, I was usually fine. This is completely normal for young people. If it's not a comfort thing, you may want to see your doctor. He/she will probably have you try Drysol or Maxim. Those things usually help.

My sister had this problem- she used "certian dry" before she went to bed at nite once a week and within the first two applications she had no more problems. You can buy certian dry I know at CVS, Walgreens etc... It really works and don't be embarrased everyone has embarrasing characteristics just don't be afraid to ask questions. Good Luck

sometimes if anti perspirant does not work, you can have a procdure done to block the nerves that make you sweat. Go to a doctor to get checked out.

You can invest in some CertainDri antiperspirant, you put it on a t night and then you use there brand of morning deodorant when you wake up. I had this problem too and it works wonders

this use to happen to me too. Until I started using Dove Clear Coat. If you apply it and then let everythig dry before getting dressed it usually helps.

omg
Mine used to be SOO bad
and then i was told to try Drysol, which you can just get at any shoppers or pharmasave or w.e.
It has done a miracle for me, and i never have sweaty armpits.
definitely give it a go, I knwo i was really skeptical at first, but it really does work.
