Tackling under-boob sweat

If you're like me and pretty massive in the chest department, what do you do to keep the under-boob sweat away in this heat?
(I swear I'm not a boob sweat troll)

I've considered using deodorant but so worry about it feeling sticky and gross. Is there anything else I should consider?

I use a non-talc medicated powder. Bought via Amazon

Roll on deodorant works for me. Someone on here suggested it a while ago, couldn't believe how well it worked.

Liquid talc recommended on here its brilliant, I think Asda sell it but I got mine from Amazon, it really is amazing.

SouperNoodle · 16/07/2022 12:15

Thanks guys 😊 I'll have a look at all these options xx

Oh yes roll on deodorant is fine as long as you don't have sweat rash obviously.

Bra liners. They sell them on amazon.

I use odaban it stops sweating
but spray a tiny bit on a cotton wool pad and gently wipe on once to absolutely bone dry skin (if on under arms then never after shaving )
at first it will sting so dr prescribed hydrocortisone to use alongside

Dry with a hairdryer, you will overheat for a few seconds but it really works, ditto other crevices 😳

I've been using talc and if I get a rash or it is itchy, a little Sudacrem.

Hadn't thought to try deodorant and I will look at the talcs used by posters as I don't really think the baby one I'm using really helps.

Crevices 😂😂😂

Lanacane anti chafing gel. Doesn’t stop the sweat but there is no rubbing. A tiny bit goes a long way.

I'm 31 weeks pregnant and a 34HH (last time I checked!) I have actually started using my roll on and rapid drying it in front of the fan 😂😂 in this heat and it seems to be working for now 🤞

Mrsjayy · 16/07/2022 12:28

I am 😳people blow dry their crevices !

DelphiniumBlue · 16/07/2022 12:28

Talc , plus I cut strips of microfibre towels about 2"wide and place them between the band on my bra and my skin - it soaks up sweat and you can easily replace it, I usually carry a few if I am out and can't get changed.

Bamboo bras from boody. So good, so light, comfy, breathable.

That doesn’t really help if you’re out for the day or at work!

Beachsidesunset · 16/07/2022 12:35

I do this!

Princessoftheuniverse · 16/07/2022 12:35

Just tried roll on deodorant recently. I wasn’t expecting it to work but it absolutely does.

Mrsjayy · 16/07/2022 12:39

Beachsidesunset · 16/07/2022 12:35

I do this!

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 16/07/2022 12:44

I have used these before and they work well, just put under bra.

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 16/07/2022 12:45

Oh and medicated talc.

SouperNoodle · 16/07/2022 12:50

Even more great ideas! I'm tempted to try them all and score them out of 10 😂
