I've got a perspiration problem.....

Go for an anti-persperant, not a deodorant. Typically, these each have very different active main ingredients. As a good example, I'll explain ... I too am female and used to sweat alot. I tried a men's Red Zone thinking that it would work. Well.. it didn't. As a general rule, I shy away from most sterotypical feminine smelling/appearing decor, clothes, and beauty stuff. I do however, LOVE tropical and citrus scents and found a Suave anti-perspirant that has a coconut pineapple scent and gave it a try. Just the regular strength stuff (Ill get back to that in a minute).. low and behold.. a MIRACLE! I no longer have or feel the need to shower 4 times a day! The active ingredient is an aluminum product (I cant recall the entire name right now) If you do decide to give that a shot, compare product ingredients carefully. I almost paid $5 for a Suave "Prescription Strength" product, but when I compared it to the regular strength stuff, the main active ingredient was the same, and it contained the same amount of that product in both the regular and prescription stregth. Powders will only lead to skin irritation. So that takes care of the area near the under arms. For the rest of the problem, you may need to try a different style of bra. Some are made with a thicker padding, and others are not. Some have thick elastic in those spots, others do not. Those with thicker elastic and padding may pull the sweat away from the body and collect it, but then if you cant change from it right away, might lead to an annoying odor. Try finding a bra with great lift that are made in a way to promote better air circulation. One of mine was made from a netting type material, and I found that this works great. The paper towel/stuffing trick can only trap the perspiration, promote bacteria growth which in turn can produce foul odors, and over all it just irritates the skin. Skin irritation is just as bad. Also make sure that you have a bra that fits properly, or it will cause skin irritation and chafing that will mimic perspiration. Good luck!

Hello veromar, my culture said it happens because we ate salty food too much. You can reduce the salt in your food, or no salt at all. In two days if you do this salt diet, your perspiration might reduce as well. Have a nice try.

yeah i have that problem too. i've been known to stick an ice pack under there in summer. it is better since i gave up on bras (a whole other discussion there!)but it still can be annoying. using a good antiperspirant is useful but you'll still get uncomfortably hot. i'm not sure there is a solution!

Hello there.. lol, we're on the same boat, i got a big one too... and i perspire so much too... well, wat i do is... i just keep on going to the comfort room too wipe it, or most of the time, i wear loose clothes... u know, when its loose, u can move freely and the air also... Have a nice day!
