It is really embarrassing, since it's in the genes, all the eldest in the family get it. I am not even doing much but i am still sweating. This is a big problem for me since it makes me smell a bit , I have even tried men's deodorant but it doesn't work after a while. ANy suggestions?

Hi, lady. I had the same problem when I was in my early teens. I've practically
tried of every brand of deodorant in the market but nothing worked. I still
continued to tried different brands, one after another. And then, due to endless
trying, I finally found the one that's the perfect deodorant for me. It's like a
soulmate. Out of a thousand brands, there's only one. So maybe you should just
try and try too. I recommend dry anti-perspirants.

I saw a lifehack once on a post on facebook. (Good ol facebook). A lady had to put a pair of feminine liners or panty liners on the fold of her shirt and that pretty much absorbed the sweat. Problem is, I hope you're not fond of sleeveless shirts.
What I could also suggest is every now and then, try to dab some talcum powder? The baking soda trick might also work. Keep experimenting.

@Theresaaiza i put baking soda on it when i am at home and it helps a lot.. putting pantyliners may be too much

For some reason plain baking soda works better for me than deodorants. It can be used like talcum, it's not harmful and doesn't leave patches, and first of all it has no harmful chemicals.
I read about a home made deodorant that I'm planning to try, it's baking soda mixed with some coconut oil to make it cream-like, and a few drops of essential oil of our choice for the good smell.

Yep yep this one I am using now. It gets rid of the smell. But I am not sure if it stops it from sweating. I have only started doing this during the winter months. I'll see when summer hits.

@Theresaaiza i guess it depends on how much you use, it stops the sweating if you put a thick cover

Have you talked to your doctor about it? Maybe there is something you can do medically to help with this. Baby powder is a good option. If you look in the bins where they sell the small, trial sizes you could find a trial size baby powder and carry it with you. It will absorb the perspiration and also has a nice odor.
