It is our concept that when underarms sweat they smell too. Even though it's not always the case, a sweaty underarm is really a bit of a turn off. Though i don't exactly know the reason why, i wouldn't wanna be caught with a sweaty underarm.

well, sometimes we cannot avoid it that our underarms really get wet and it becomes evident on our clothes..some people really make a big deal if they see other people's underarms sweat...sometimes i feel a little ashame and uncomfortable if my underarms sweat and it appears on clothes..but we cannot really stop it even if we used anti-perspirant deodorant especially if the climate is too hot..

We can't avoid that because we can't stop the sweat from flowing/pouring when the weather is so hot. We just have to be sure that we don't have the "smell" or the body odor that comes with it. My underarms don't sweat much because I use clothes that makes me feel cool during hot days and also clothes that won't make the sweat too obvious :D

I don't have problem with underarm sweat, maybe because of my activities. I am active in the morning while the weather is still cold and from 8am to 5pm, I am at the office which is fully airconditioned. During times wherein I choose to be at my daughter's school to watch them in school program, it doesnt bother me that much especially that I know that I dont smell bad at all because of proper hygiene. Now that I have a teenager daughter, I always remind her to have the proper hygiene. I don't want her to get embarrassed with her friends and classmates that I regularly remind her. And of course to take a bath everyday, and if expose to the heat of sun to take another bath in evening.

When I tried switching brands on deodorants I realized that other brands can make my underarms sweaty. I tried switching because I kinda like to try when I see a new product on the shelves. And when I find its smells really nice I'll try it. But then I have to go back using the ones that doesn't cause my underarms to sweat. Coz it's really embarrassing to have a sweaty underarm even if it doesn't smell bad. The connotation will still be that the sweating has a smell.

Yes of course i am still confident because it's a natural thing that your underarms sweat i get on trains almost everyday and i don't mind seeing that my underarms sweat when i rise my hands. You shouldn't be too concerned about this thing just tell yourself that you're just as normal as others and that everyone has sweat in their underarms.

Thanks my armpits are not sweating even if it is summer- unless I jog or do exercises. I understand other people who really sweats a lot esp their underarms. Yes, it's quite embarrassing- as long as it doesn't smell- it's fine with me :p

Even summer strikes, I am not confident having a sweating underarm. Very disgusting. However, there are product in the market that can be used as remedy. I know a person who really sweats even not due to climate factors but his biological conditions has that factor. I think, to any person would never wanted to have an underarm sweat, for it does not only mean it degrades one's confidence but the trouble of always fixing the problem do greatly affect their normal lifestyle and activities.

Having a sweaty underarm can really be embarrassing even if it doesn't smell. I am also sweaty sometimes, whenever it is so hot and i forgot to put my deodorant. So, religiously, after taking a bath or showering or taking a sponge bath, i would put on my deodorant. I am confident that i will not have a sweaty underarm when i put on my deodorant .

Sweat is normal it is a way of how our body releases some toxins too and sweating also is a normal process it means that out sweat glands are really active but too much sweat is called "Hyperhydrosis". I am also shy when my underarm sweats but what i am ashamed of is that when it stinks! Try to use some anti-perspirant so that you won perspire

I am not comfortable when my underarm is sweating co'z i know if there is sweating it will produce bad odor and its untidy for a lady to her under arm is sweating. Should take shower everyday and underarm protection could help.

Of course not. But as you are saying, the weather is hot and there is nothing you can do once your sweat pores get them out. Sweat carries smelly water that your body produces when you are in heat and sometimes in an aggravated feeling. But don't you worry because you are healthy producing sweats from your body because they are like vents to make your body breathe. The only thing that people sometimes thinks sweat are embarrassing is that they think they smell foul and look disgusting with wet shirt. If you want to avoid such happenings why don't you try to use deodorants on your underarms and do take a bath regularly to at least lessen the smell of your sweat.

I lose my confidence when my underarms are wet. how can you raise your hands when it's obvious that your underarms are wet. I think there are people who has this over sweating experiences even it's not triggered by a hot weather.
