WET WET armpits...rec's for an antiperspirant?

[firstclasssugar]

Secret has a new concentrated deo. out but I have not tried. I saw it at Walmart next to the certain dry.Anyone try the secret yet?

 

[tothemax]

Certain Dri would do it. Use every other day though cuz it sometimes stings very badly for me if i use it everyday

 

[anjanasadil]

Thanks for posting about the Secret offer on their website, i signed up for it. i cant wait to try it, although i'm very happy with my Certain Dri...however....its HAS been itching me alot lately. it never used to do that before. so i'm thinking the 'skin soothers' in the Secret one are just what i need.

 

[brewgrl]

I don't use it because it's too strong for me- but my mother SWEARS by Mitchum!

 

[medusa82x]

maxim is really great although it's a little bit pricey.. Try it!!!

 

[clwkerric]

I use Mitchum... and I love it.

Someone has probably already said this, but I didn't read through the replies on this one.

Certain dri. It's a roll on that you can buy at most drug stores. You actually apply it at night before bed, and it actually blocks off the sweat glands from being able to sweat. It's perscription strength, and works VERY VERY well.

Mitchum Original is great! I also really liked the new Secret Clinical Strength. It works so much better than the regular Secret deodorants/antiperspirants.

I don't know if you should do this, but i drink a little less water some hours before i have to go somewhere where i don't want to sweat too much. It's not a healthy option though.

I used to not sweat AT ALL. Then all of a sudden a year ago I would sweat for no reason, especially after showers. I bought the Secret Clinical Strength, it's suppposed to be put on at night, but I just use it whenever. I don't have sweat dripping down my side anymore, they get a tiny bit moist after IDK 8 hrs? but then I just put some more on.

Oh, and sometimes I don't want to waste it if I'm just around the house and I'll put on some Dove or Ban or other deodorant and I will start sweating IMMEDIATELY... no joke! So I know Secret works

 

[SierraWren]

My sister does long distance running daily, and in the summer she uses unscented Men's Mitchum. She swears it is the only thing which works for her.

 

[dreamgirl_leah]

I have this smae problem!! I have used the Secret Clinical Strength and I didn't like it. It didn't really help me, not to mention it was like $8 and had way less deo than a normal deo does. I used to use Certain Dry and it would keep me dry, but I too got kinda itchy after a long time of using it. I have been using mitchem by itself lately and it has been just ok. I am going to start back on my Certain Dry, esp for when i am in school.

After the first week of this stuff you do not need to use it daily or even everyother day... you gradually need to use it less and less.. I need to use my drysol once every 2-3 months and thats just to avoid potential wetness... Over using will cause burning, itch and bumps.

I had the hyperhydrosis problem for years and then used Drysol which was awesome. After awhile I barely had to use it except during my period.

However, I stink!! I am not sweating at all and I reak!! What is going on? I have tried Mitchums, and I have tried the Drysol again but nothing. It seems like whatever deoderant I use just makes the smell that much worse. I smell when I don't use deoderant and when I do...I don't get it. I wonder if Certain Dri can help with the smell?

Any suggestions??? It's not sweating, it's the smell!

Lorrine,

Perhaps your body chemistry is such that it either feeds the natural bacteria on your body (that's what causes sweat odor), or that your sweat is excreting an odor from inside your body (could it be what you're injesting... aparagus, specific drugs, garlic).

 

[lglala84]

Dove ...was my miracle, but never tried that Mitchum

 

[allyoop]

Lorrinne,

Try deodorant stones - they don't stop sweating, but kill the bacteria that causes the odor

There is also a 'liquid' form but it is called something like liquid deodorant stone.

 

[Lorrine24]

Nox: I am on quite a few antidepressants but have been since I was 18 and never noticed this problem before. It was the hyperhydrosis I had but Drysol cleared that up and now after years of using that I suddenly don't sweat but smell...ugh.

Allyoop: What are the stones you are talking about and where would you find them?

Do you mean "alum blocks"? That's what I use sometimes or Trader Joe's all natural deoderant. I like it 'cuz it's natural, contains no wax or aluminum compounds. It's a naturally hewn stone.
The liquid I've heard of before also on a news program, but I hear that works a little bit differently than conventional deodorant/antiperspirant. It works to suspend the function of the sweat glands temporarily... I would suppose it works directly on the nerves to cause this reaction.

Another thing that has success for excessive perspiration is botox injections under the arm. It works for about 6-8 months from what I've read in medical literature.

Deodorant Stone Thai Best Pure Natural Crystal Deodorant Stones Of America

These are the first ones I found on google - don't know if they sell on this site, but compare prices - it varies a lot from seller to seller

I've read you can pick them up at health food stores.

Alum blocks sound like the same thing - some brands have a deodorant shaped holder, some don't.
