Severe sweating

LegacyUser

Can anybody recommend a good deoderant & shower gel? I use various shower gels or soaps and femfresh when I shower each morning, also use Soft and gentle (spray deoderant). By the afternoon I am sweating quite badly and by 5/6pm an odour starts to develop. Any recommendations for shower gels and deoderants I should be using to help with this problem? Thanks

Different things work for different people differently. What's magic for one is fair for another. Start by trying a different product every week until you find what works for you.

Mitchum deodorant is good for this, you can get it in chemists.

also, a few years ago, well maybe 15 years ago , Vichy used to do this one that was actually a week long deodorant but was great for heave sweating. you basically put it on on the first night then showered etc as normal every day but without having to top up the deodorant. it was great, altho I remember being very nervous the first time I went out without putting on deodorant in the morning.

I can't remember the actual name but it was by Vichy and available in chemists.

Perhaps an anti- perspirant rather than a deoderant might help?
I think that Mitchum is an anti- perspirant, and the Vichy one too.

Driclor, it's the biz!
Sold in Boots

Manufactured in Sligo, good to supported Irish company and all that

But anyway, excellent product. Comes in roll on format



It's looks like I'm schilling. :pac:
Just I asked the same question over in Personal Issues, was last year or year before I think. This was recommended and I'm happy anyway

Mitchum anti perspirant is supposed to be good, my friend swears by it, but personally it didn't work for me, but i think if you have an actual excess sweating problem (like i used to have) then it's prob not going to be strong enough

Driclor, it's the biz!

Don't know what i would have done if it wasn't for this!! The joy of not having big sweat patches under my arms (even on cold days :rolleyes:) anymore!
It can be a bit stingy/itchy when you use if first but if you stick with it it's fantastic! Put it on at night and wash off in the morning, do this until you stop sweating usually after week or so, and then you can just use normal deodorant, and then you only need to use the driclor now and again when it starts to wear off! Think it's about 9 or 10 euro, but it lasts ages!

Anyone got an tips for myself? I keep sweating badly on my face, even after a shower I sweat!

I get night sweats too and I know they are side effects of medication that I am on (effexor). Its just gets annoying when your going about the place.

Driclor has stopped working for me all of a sudden tried another like it and also wont work. Its like i have become immune.

+1 for Driclor. I have serious sweat issues, and driclor is the only things that works for me.


My sister is a dentist with a sideline in botox, and she uses injections to stop the sweating. The effects are pretty good, If you are particularly conscious of your sweatiness.

would one treatment of botox injections be sufficient or are repeats required?

I'm a guy and i'm wondering does Driclor have a female fragrance or is it neutral?

Can a guy use it?

It's for men and women, It doesn't have any fragrance, it's not an antiperspirant/deodorant as such...you just put it on at night and wash off in morning and then apply your normal deoderant/bodyspray. You can stop using it altogether once the sweating has stopped and use your normal spray/deodorant (until it wears off and you start to sweat a bit again and then you just repeat the process)

It varies between different people, but in general it lasts 6 to 9 months, and then you go back for more.

Ask your GP to refer you, it can be done publically because hyperhydrosis is considered a medical condition, so it's not a cosmetic treatment.

I had to give up Dri-clor after a few uses as it stung so badly and dried out my underarms to the point that the skin was cracking and blistered looking- meaning that I could't apply anything at all! There's an alternative called Triple-Dry that works on the same concept but is less drying to the skin and it did the job for me. You can usually find them together in chemists. That was 6 years ago and completely sorted the problem for me!

Like all botox treatments, it will only last 6-9 months depending on your bodies reaction to it.

Driclor does sting when you apply it, but you get used to the sensation after the first few weeks of application.
I've heard good things about Triple-Dry too though.

Take Wheatgrass supplements which neutralise body odour and excess sweating. I hear it's brilliant.

Can anyone recommend somewhere that you can get the box underarm injecs at a reasonable price? The prices at some of the cosmetic surgery type places are ridiculous for this - for example, e400+, and it will only last 3-4 months the first time you get it!

You can get it done publicly, just ask your GP to refer you!
