pit stains?

Question

ok.
so ive been getting pit stains
(im only 13)
ive tried like 5 different anti-perspirants-
secret, degree, ban, dove and lady speed stick,
but the pit stains still appear under my armpits (on shirts)
its SOOO embarrasing!

anyone have any tips on how to get rid of them?
so i dont have the wet spots on under my armpits?
(maybe even before school starts again?)

Answer 1

I had this problem too! I found the answer in an out-of-the-way comment someone once made. When you put on your deoderant, let it dry completely before putting your shirts on. Especially if you are using a gel type of deoderant. It won't really matter the brand (but I do know the cheaper the stuff the worse the stains can be). So when you get out of the shower, moisturize, dry your pits really well, then put on your deoderant and keep your arms up for a bit, like at least 5 mins. I know it seems silly but I promise it works!!! If you are in a hurry use a hair dryer or a fan to speed up the drying. If you are using a solid, switch to a gel and try this technique, and you can say goodbye to those stains.

Good luck!!!

Answer 2

Like the other person said, check out Certain Dri. It's sold in grocery stores but is not always prominently displayed. You use it and it stops you from sweating completely. The more regularly you use it, the less you have to put on. I can put it on and it will stop the sweating for a few days, but i don't use it all the time. Be careful though--it can sting a little and you shouldn't put it on after shaving or anything like that. I live in a hot climate, so when i want to protect clothes I will use it, but otherwise I just use Dove.

Answer 3

well, first of all, things like anti-perspirants and deodorants cause the stains. Some type of chemical reaction occurs that causes your sweat and the anti-perspirant to react with each other, therefore causing a yellowish-brown color to form.

why dont you try not using anti-perspirants for a while, and see if anything changes? If your worried about how you smell, you should try using body sprays from bath and body works.

Answer 4

Try the Adidas Anti-Perspirant

Answer 5

CERTAIN-DRI!!!!!!!! i'm not just copying the people above me - i really tried it and it really works!!! mine was terrible....it started when i was 13 too. it's WAY different than other anti-perspirants because:

1. it's a liquid. it soaks in and DOES NOT come off or melt or anything like solids do.

2. the active ingredient is aluminum chloride, not aluminium tetrachlorahydrex gly so it's more powerful.

3. IT WORKS!!!! try it trust me it is miracle stuff

Answer 6

Certain-Dri. I wish I had started using it earlier. Also, try a deodorant with a high percentage of aluminum tri/GLY (sp?). I put on Certain-Dri at night and a regular deodorant during the day.

Certain-Dri has a section for teens: http://www.numarklabs.com/index.php?src=gendocs&link=CertainDriTeen

Answer 7

before you go to bed, put deoderant on then when you wake up in the morning do it again. this will reduce the wettness under your arms, but you are at the puberty stage where you might just have to wear darker clothes or hoodies to avoid the underarm spots.

Answer 8

Look into Certain Dri, it is an anti-perspirant, all you do is put it on after you shower and it prevent sweating

Answer 9

i have the same problem but i finally found out how to sweat less without using something that "minimizes your pores" or crap like that.
sweat means your burning fat. the more fatteming foods you eat, the more you sweat.
so eat healthier, non-fattening foods. then you'll stop sweating as much. indulge a little, like once a day
