My underarms are constantly sweating....Even when I'm not exercising.. I've tried a variety of deodorants and antipersperants but nothing seems to get the job done...Anyone else have this problem and if so how do you control it??? Thanks :D

The bloody summer truly sucks doesen't it? Maybe its just the heat and thats why your sweating a lot under your pits. Try not to dress in dark colors and wear cotton shirts since they tend to breathe more oxygen. Umm... let me redirect you to this post, there something about some kind of anti persperant.

Lucky you!

The FDA just approved botox injections for excessive under arm sweating. They do a couple injections and it clears it up for a month or so.

If you don't want to go that route, your Dr. can give you a perscription for something that might help.

I never had problems w/ sweating, just seemed that no deodorants did any good when i did sweat

the one brand that did work for me was Red Zone which i believe is made by old spice

Forget Botox injections. I used to have the same sweating problem until I found out about this anti-perspirant called CERTAIN DRI. Its active ingredient is Alluminum Chloride 12%. I originally purchased it online but now find it at Walgreens or CVS for around $5. It's different from regular anti-perspirants in that you apply it at night and it works while you sleep. I only have to use it a couple times weekly and then use regualar old fashioned deoderant (without anti-perspirant) on daily basis. One other great benefit is that I no longer get those yellow pit stains on my undershirts. I used to have to buy t-shirts monthy because of the stains, now I can wear them until the wear out. Hope this helps. I still sweat the same everywhere else but don't have to worry about those embarrasing wet pits.

i used to have this problem like 2 months ago. i couldn't wear t-shirts because i'd always have pit stains where ever i'd go because of it (even when it wasn't hot out).

i tried products to dab on your underarms. i tried switching deoderants, ect...

finally, i cured it. i trimmed my arm pit hairs. i didn't shave them off or anything, mind you. i just trimmed them a bit so it wasn't as hairy, and it worked. i'd take a shower, put on my anti-persperent every morning, and now i never sweat. i don't know if it was because i had too much arm pit hair, and the anti-persperent was finally taking affect, or what. but now i only have pit stains after i come from the gym. something to think about, or try, if you're really interested in getting rid of it.
