To ask - is this just me? Sweaty groin!

[ElegantApparel]

I'm so sorry for even asking, but here goes...

When it's hot, or when I exercise, or make a presentation at work, I sweat. Now, when I'm running, it's ok, I get hot and sweat all over. I get really red too, which I hate, but it comes with the territory.

However, on hot days or when I'm nervous, I sweat a lot in my groin. It's definitely not discharge, but (sorry) I basically have wet pants, from the edges coming in, in crescent shaped wet patches. It is so bad I have to change, and it feels really uncomfortable.

Is it normal to sweat so much you need to change pants when it's hot? Hoping for some solidarity here, but I understand if you don't want to answer . Really sorry for lowering the tone

Dunno if it's normal but I do this too- absolutely hate it! Though I do also think I'm a generally sweaty (though not smelly) person- I "glow" a lot!!

But yes I feel your "crescent of sweat in the pants" pain!!

I get sweaty too so I wear panty liners every day.

This happens to me when I'm really hot (and sweating elsewhere). I'm a bit overweight and I'm sure that doesn't help.

I get this when I exercise. I think it's fairly normal?

I get it too. Lovely to meet fellow 'crescent of sweat' sufferers

It's normal. I get it sometimes but mine is anxiety related. Dust with talc in the groin area or wear wide pads.

Yes when I exercise or am particularly hot. I sweat a lot though-apparently its healthy.

Me too! I leave a lovely mark on sears when I stand up.

I get this sometimes, I think I remember in my "book about puberty" that I got when I was 12, it said underarms and ground are the top sweaty places in the body, so I'm sure everyone's the same?

sparkle there was a thread about that recently. Fanny condensation it's called, apparently.

Groin not ground

Relieved to read this thread and see it's not just me!

I get so sweaty I often check that I don't have sweat stains in my crotch or that the chair I'm using is damp. It's hideous. I don't wear pantyliners as they seem to make it worse- they 'draw' me as my mum would say!
I used to sweat terribly from my underarms, I used driclor religiously for about six months. My pits are fine now but my feet and my fanny are sweaty city. Yuk!! Sympathy OP

I think fanny condensation is worse if you are walking around with bald bits?

33 weeks pregnant here and have definitely got swamp crotch: ick! I also change underwear a couple of times a day and go through more panty liners than usual. I think it's mostly hormonal with me, although yy to sweatiness there when exercising!

Yep me too

Yes same here - rubbish isn't it. Can't stand the damp underwear feeling & can go through 4 changes a day in summer!

and me! I change my pants about 3 times a day!

Yep, sweat crescents here. Change pants and liner sometimes three times a day. I cannot cope with any heat at all. It's been a lot cooler today so I've managed to keep the same things on, much easier!

Don't put talc in your knickers or on your crotch, it's been linked to ovarian cancer.

Whenever I see the crescents I think: "ooo go me, I've been inadvertently doing exercise" and then dread sitting in a dark-colour plastic chair for the rest of the day.

Me too. Hate it!

Swamp crotch

I'm the same, especially if I'm wearing synthetic fabric trousers, I've mastered a 'glide and stand' movement for getting off plastic chairs at work. I've found femfresh deodorant helps

I have this dread getting good practice from plastic chair at college or hairdressers as it's wet.

I use femfresh powder (hard to find nowdays) or vagisil powder which helps

• up from.... not good practise!
