A person who sweats excessively knows that sweating need not be limited to armpit sweating alone. You can sweat in other places on your body such as the genital area, around the toes of your feet (which can lead to athlete’s foot if you’re not careful), as well as be able to sweat on your hands, your forehead, your face, your back.
The list can be fairly long, but suffice it to say that you can sweat just about anywhere on your body. Armpit sweating however is the most common form of sweating and the one which most of us tends to focus on, even if we suffer from excessive sweating of other areas on the body.
That said, armpit sweating is also the area which is targeted the most by the deodorant and antiperspirant companies. They focus on these areas rather than any other place on your body for the simple reason that most people only ever experience armpit sweating.
This is the reason why we are bombarded by product after product of underarm deodorant or antiperspirant. The next sweat prone area to make the advertising campaign list is that of the foot. And a good thing too, just think of the big mess we would be put into if it were drilled into us that we also needed to eliminate facial sweating, or back sweating, or your scalp from sweating!
Most people are already very conscious of any type of armpit sweating be it excessive or normal, and will go to any lengths to cover up or prevent any signs that they are sweating. This is a phobia that has gradually manifested itself in our collective conscious to the extent that we will feel dreadfully embarrassed if we are caught unawares and find dark sweat stains under our arms.
And although having a sweat-induced odor about your person is most definitely not something to be proud of, do we really have to go through mind numbing embarrassment every time that we experience more than a light sweat and find that we are starting to smell very slightly “off”?
True, you don’t want to meet anyone you know when you’re in this condition, but then again, that’s what deodorants and things are there for, to help us with these little problems that life presents to us.
The best thing that you can do for armpit sweating of any kind is to have a good daily hygiene routine. Couple this with a good diet, (and by this think of one that is primarily free of such foodstuffs as onions and garlic!), use a good deodorant and you should be just fine. Besides, you know that if you ever need it, there are othr treatment options available to you.

Which deoderant works best for extreme sweating?
I always take a shower in the morning and then apply deoderant on right when i get out. I currently use Secret, but it doens’t work one bit. Once im maybe into 2nd period at school, i’m sweating under in armpits already. Which brand really really works for you? I’ve heard things about Certain Dri, but i have kind of sensitive skin and I heard that it can irritate your skin. I’ve also heard about Mitchum and Dry Idea. If you could tell me which ones work best, how much they cost, and which type of the deoderant to get that will stop my underam sweating.
I sweat a lot :l
I use the Mitchum roll on for women. I am a very light sweater but this is for those just in case omg-i-think-i’m-in-love-kinda- moments! Haha, It actually will last for two days. Plus, you won’t get any white flakes, Very strong.

i think that secret clinical strength works pretty well.
or check with your doctor to get a prescription antiperspirant.
the last time i checked i think the secret was around 10 bucks…?
but idk go check the store.

Dry Idea works for me.
References :
MITCHUM. Yes, that’s the best.
Mens deoderant is the best.
References :
I’ve tried certain dri and it works, but it makes your skin flake

I use degree it keeps me from sweating.I use to get very nasty but know degree works great.and they do have it for sensitive skin also.good luck
References :
I really recommend Certain Dri…
It’s not irritating unless you use it immediately after shaving (and even then I haven’t had a problem!)
Also, you only need to apply Certain Dry 2-3 times per week and only at night! Then you can use the deody of your choice in the mornings (for extra protection)
Best of luck!!!

Certain Dri: $5.99 (at Walgreens)

Mitchum.
I boutgh secret clinical strength for about $10 and I am really disapointed.
At first, Mitchum didn’t work for me, but then I was at camp and started putting it on maybe 7 times a day.
I found for 2 weeks after that of using a different deoderant or not wearing any at all, it still kept me dry no matter what!
It is really great and stays on when you shower, at lease put it on once in the morning and once before bed.
and it is only about $3.
I would also recommend the stick opposed to the roll on just because the stick works better.

Okay so i used to have the same problem. You can’t control it and you feel like everyone is starring at you and they can see it because it’s seeping through your shirt? Yeah, i completly know. Well, a found a miracle. I started using the Secret Clinical Strength deoderant. Try it, and if it doesn’t work, I’d suggest going to a doctor and getting a perscription (sp?) Hope I Helped! =)
