The best product for really bad perspiration?

[OnALosingSpree]

I have anxiety which makes me sweat. I had to go to an appointment last week and by the time I got there the underarms of my dress was wet with sweat and by the time it dried and I got home I stunk.

It's so embarrassing.

I had normal spray deodorant on. Sure or something.

Are there any specialist products that do a better job?

Something like driclor or perspirex. They are both quite heavy duty

Ask your pharmacist and/or GP for advice

I sweat more for exactly the same reason. I use Mitchum roll on. It's not 100% but better than say sure/mum etc. I find roll on better than spray too for coverage. I also shave everyday as even tiny stubble seems to make it worse. I'm sure I've read somewhere nervous sweatsmells more than exercise sweat if that makes sense,

[Robinkitty]

I'd second Mitchum

[OnALosingSpree]

I'm so much better when I have my pits waxed but I find it stressful going to have it done.

I'll have a look at those options. Thanks

Driclor, it's the only thing that will sort it.

[jimijack]

Mitchem stick and them mitchem spray on top.
Only thing that works for my problem for the most part and smells lovely even when my sweat gets through it.

[illegitimateMortificadospawn]

The "48 hour" versions of Sure and Mitchum are heavier duty.

I'm the same, have been since a teenager. I tried driclor years ago but it stung like a bitch so just put up with it but bought some perspires last week, the comfort stuff and it's absolutely amazing I've applied it 2 nights running and it stung a little but not much (I made sure I was completely dry before using it) and I've not sweated at all. Didn't apply last night and still no sweat today . I still used dove in the morning after my shower a felt strange not to but reckon I could have not put any more on. Total game changer, I am used to wearing cardis over tops in winter to cover up sweat marks and tank style tops in summer and braving normal t shirts if I wasn't going to be out too long but now will be able to wear what I like. It has made my pits a little dry and also can't shave for 48hrs before but I don't care if I'm a hairy Mary as long as I'm not a smelly one!

[AngelicCurls]

Oops-sorry that was a bit long am just v chuffed!

If you've the money, Botox works a treat. But it is expensive. Might be worth thinking about if the above suggestions don't work.

[Scrubba]

I use this

Perspi-Guard Maximum Strength Antiperspirant Spray - 50ml https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004803YDI/ref=cmswwrcppapi_v0AXybNYD0VZR

I think it's best for occasional use as I didn't find it as effective for long term but it worked a treat and I would 100% recommend it.

[picklemepopcorn]

Another recommendation saying Mitchum roll on.

[CleopatraCominAtcha]

Whatever you're using make sure it's washed off properly in the shower in the morning before you reapply. I use Mitchum stick which works but any residue means yesterday's sweat is still there doing its evil work. For me washing off requires a good scrub with exfoliating scrub or gloves and proper soap, otherwise it's game over before I've started.

[piddleypower]

Driclor or perspirex. Get from Boots. Make sure armpits are really dry before applying - I used to dry them with hairdryer. Use only a little at first as it does sting. But it def does the job. Mitchum is not in the same category!

[piddleypower]

Oh and Linden Voss Triple Dry also good. Same advice re drying.

[Maverick66]

Go to see your GP.
They will refer you to a clinic for excessive sweating.
There are several options for you to try.
Clinic will go through them all with you.
Good luck

Just to agree that a GP can advise (and get a referral to a dermatologist if necessary). My niece has had help through medication. Life changing for her.

Anhydrol Forte - either on prescription or you can buy it over the counter.

[ChocolateSherberts2017]

Firstly, wash under your arms with an anti bacterial soap. I use Dettol soap which I buy from Home Bargains for a pound.

Dry well then use a heavy duty deodorant. I use Mitchum which is fine for me but I suspect you will need something a bit stronger.

Visit the Dr just to rule out anything hormonal or otherwise.

I love Tripledry, they do a 72 hour spray. It's quite heavy duty and I don't think I've had any bad odours since I started using it. It's over £5 for a spray can but really worth it. I also get anxiety sweating, particularly at work, but it works really well.
