I get this and the intertrigo to go with it! Doc gave me timodine for the sweat rash but also it works as a barrier cream as water just seems to sit on it! It's never ending 🙄

@Knitclubchatter I've asked for a reduction three times. First time was when I was 18 or 19. Denied. Last time was last year, GP actually agreed but the consultant she wrote to said no.

When I first asked, I was skinny but had these massive norks. Now, I'm fat and the norks are so large it's ridiculous. They don't shrink when I lose weight. But if I ever put weight on, it goes on the boobs. So over the years, if I've put weight on, it's increased my already too big bust.

And at no point have they said I can have mine reduced despite the back ache, straps digging into shoulders, my problems continuing to play sports (meaning my weight ramped up), never fitting in clothing, the damned sweat, and the constant feeling I'm suffocating under them.

I spend a lot of my Summertime's crying with frustration thanks to my boobs.

I've had a sweating problem since I was young but it's only a massive bother compared to usual, when they actually reek. So I'm planning on taking a bar of soap and flannel and small mitchum deodorant in plastic bags every where I go this summer. It's such a confidence knocker.

Anarchyshake, life’s too short. Save and go private.

I tend to wedge kitchen roll into the underside of my bra which really helps.

Anarchy that sounds awful, cant believe the consultant said no to an operation which would make such a difference to your health.

Deodorant works for me.

Medicated talc - I had a terrible fungal infection earlier in the year and this keeps it at bay. A dab of Canesten at night too. M&S were doing some cotton rich bras in large cup sizes so I bought tons and they are comfy, cool and pretty

Anarchy that's awful, they should give you it on psychological reasons. Have you checked the NICE guidelines for your area?

I just have to buy a product called FreshBalls Grin

Lolly25 · 01/07/2019 06:21

Femfresh powder...its a miracle.
Because it's not talc it doesn't clump up and it really does work. I buy bulk off Amazon. As its not always easy to get.
Please give it a try. You will be amazed.
