Sweating like a mother.......

    These days I find myself sweating a fair bit under the arms.

    I'd normally wear a tee under work shirts for kind of barrier. But goes through them. To the extent by the end of the day they are stiff by the end of the day if you get me.

    I've used Sure and Nivea anti perspirant but nothing stops. Is the anti perspirant causing the hardness?

    All thoughts welcome!

    Are you using a deodorant stick or a spray?

    Try a stronger anti perspirant like Mitchum. Can be bought in pharmacies.

    Also, if it's a sudden change, might be no harm to have a chat to your GP about it.

    Try a vest rather than a t-shirt, the t-shirt might be making you sweat more plus using vest will let the sweat evaporate quicker.
    On another note I wash under my arms with an antibacterial hadwash this kills the bacteria that cause bo lasts a good 14 hours and eradicates all yellow staining from white shirts ,
    A little deodorant for nice smell

    Driclor, available in most pharmacies. Nuclear strength anti perspirant. It'll hurt like a mother****er the first few times but if that don't work, nothing will. Once you're used to it, it only needs to be used every few weeks.

    You need to find the root cause. I find if I drink a lot of caffine I sweat a lot especially my feet!

    I've used Mitchum 24 Hour Sport for years and never have an issue.

    just need to make sure it dries a bit before putting clothes on so you dont get white stuff on your clothes.

    This used to be a real problem for me, I would literally have two lakes under my pits, nothing worked until I found Drysol, it took a few months of applying every couple of days, but I'd say I haven't sweat under my arms for 10 years or more.
    This stuff works by actually closing the sweat pores.

    One word of caution with any of this stuff mentioned in this thread, do not put it on after a shower and put a small dab on first and wait 10 minutes.
    These things can burn and really really hurt.

    Roll-ons make you feel like you're sweating whether you are or not. Grease under your arms.

    only for about 5 mins....unless you are over applying...two swipes is all you need.

    Something else that while wont necessarily help with sweating will certainly help with any odours, trim your under arm hair.

    Anhydrol Forte is suppose to be a good one, a doctor told me that athletes use it when running

    I think if someone suffers from excessive sweating then a trip to the GP might be necessary if deodorants are not helping.

    I find if I finish my shower with a blast of cold it helps a lot.

    does fitness play a part? less fit more likely to sweat doing routine stuff?

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Not for me. I run about 30k a week. And probably sweat more under the arms just driving!!

    Do you drink much coffee throughout the day?...

    Just asking because, I find caffeine makes me sweat under the arms a lot more, I switched to decaf before for a few months to test it out and the sweating was massively reduced...

    :confused: Can that be healthy? Kind of smacks of solving bad breath with a tight ligature.

    To sort the work shirt issue buy one or two of these. You'll still sweat but nothing will get through to the shirt. They last about 2 years when washed weekly and they work 100%.

    I'm in the same boat.

    In fact I believe that someone who is fit can often be much more likely to begin sweating than someone who is not.

    Is that the stuff the GP used to give my uncle for the soles of his feet?
