Question

Answer 1

Use an antiperspirant

Answer 2

I had a HUGE problem with sweating. I used to have to change my shirt maybe 2-3 times a day. I tried everything from Ban to Secret, and nothing worked. Then I tried the Adidas line of womens deodorant. There's a specific one called wetness control, or something to that extent. You can't prevent sweating, but you'll feel less wet under the arms, and smell good all day

Answer 3

I also have been dealing with this condition for awhile now. The medical term for it is called hyperhidrosis.

I've found that Certain Dri (available at Rite Aid for $5.99) works wonders for me! Certain Dri is an anti-perspirant ONLY. You have to apply before you go to bed. Though you may think its a little pricey for just a small bottle, trust me it is worth it :) I only have to apply it 1-2 times per week, so the bottle I have right now has lasted me since May 2006. I highly recommend you give it a try!

PS- As for anti-perspirant with deodorant, I love Secret Platinum clear gel. I apply just a tiny amount before getting dressed in the morning. This also helps, plus it smells great, even at the end of the day.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Definitely try Drysol! It works soooo well, I had th same problem and after one, yes one, treatment, I went the whole day without a single mark under my arms!!! I think in the US you need a prescription for it but in Canada it is sold over the counter! If it's too hard to get a prescription, try that new Secret Clincal strength antiperspirant. Good luck!

Answer 5

You are not alone. I have to resort to using men's deodorant because women's is not strong enough.... and i still sweat. :-( I have found that degree works really well though. Not the women's but the little travel six one, because it's designed for both men and women. If that doesn't work, I day use men's deodorant. You may smell like a man, but you won't have pit stains.hh

Answer 6

This is the same technique I have taught over 138,000 men and women in 157 countries to successfully treat their excessive sweating condition over the past 7 years!

Answer 8

I have always had that problem also, and there is a prescription called "Drysol" and your doctor shouldn't have a problem writing it for you. It really stings the first few times you use it, but it is so worth it! Good luck!
