Answer 1

I use Dove or Ban (powder) and its usually pretty decent!... I also sweat ALOT but at least i don't have B.O.! If your problem really bothers you then go to a dermatologist and he can prescribe a stronger deodorant for people with your problem

Answer 2

Some people are just sweaty! Some more than others. I myself suffer from sweatier than usual palms. It's embarrassing, I know. You are lucky, because your underarm thing is treatable. First off, I think you should try switching underarm deodorants. It might take some trial and error, but I promise some work better than others (and all of this is different from person to person). You might try using talcum powder or baby powder or whatever...but try switching around your deodorants. I would also suggest getting a dark colored shirt for class (if they don't make you all wear the same thing). I'm assuming that you're a pre-pubescent or pubescent girl...in which case this problem will either get better or go away completely once your hormones die down.

If the worst happens, and your pits get sweaty and you can see that people are noticing--make a joke out of it. Being the first one to make light of it can help defuse the situation. Also, if you're worried about boys don't. Guys don't really care too much about stuff like that (unless it smells really bad (like so bad we can smell it over our own sweaty-ness).

If the sweating really bothers you that much see your doctor he/she maybe able to help you might even what to try talking to the pharmacist at the drug store he my have some suggestion over the counter

Answer 4

I used to sweat through a tank top and t shirt so I know how u feel. there something called drysol which u put on every night and it shrinks the sweat glands. Its not that expensive i paid somewhere around 20 bucks and its worth it. Only problem is that you have to do some searching on the internet to get it but its totally worth it.

Answer 5

The one who said "certain dry" is right on. Read directions though because it's different than usual. You can find it by asking your pharmacist about it. It is not prescription, but they usually keep stock of over the counter products like this. If this doesn't work, go see a doctor, there are prescriptions. And you probably won't need to take it forever. Just during different phases in your life.

Answer 6

There was a show on Tyra Banks show where a young female sweated under her arms and hands and feet and she was imbarassed to shake hands or wear long sleeve shirts. A doctor was on the show and told her it was a medical condition where you sweat excessively where you have more glands under the arm mostly, he injected collegen in the glands and she didn't sweat as much. It is expensive 'cause u have to get frequent injections. Talk to your doctor and see what they suggest. Good Luck!

Answer 7

Get this deodorant made specifically for this situation from Target called Certain Dri. It solves the problem and costs way less than a prescription from the doctor. Follow instructions on bottle.

Answer 8

A lot of people have this, there is medication to help with the sweating. If you can see a doctor about it....you can try all the deodrants and powders in the world, but it won't help the underlying problem. I believe it's a hormone imbalance of some type, its definatly worth talking to your doctor about.

Answer 9

THERE IS HELP!! i too have the same problem and grew up suffering always hiding my pits. The answer is called Drysol. I couldn't use it on my 12 year old who has the same problem because it stung too much and it does sting a little on me but i don't mind because it is worth it to me. Basically you call your doctor, hopefully you have a doctor, and ask them to call in a prescription for Drysol. It is something you use at night you just dab on and then supposed to put a tight t shirt on and sleep with it and then you don't need to use it but like once a month and believe me IT IS A MIRACLE WORKER!

Answer 10

you need to use anti-perspirent (sp?). It keeps you from sweating, but the downside is that it doesn't help stench. So what I suggest is putting on the aspirent along with some baby powder before and after gym class.
