Sweat problem - can anyone help or advise me please...

Obviously have namechanged due to the embarrassment! I have terrible problems with underarm sweating around the time of the month. I regularly have to throw clothes away or change clothes twice in a day. Is it something a GP would help with or just dismiss?

I have tried everything I can find deodorant wise but nothing works (although I'm fine during the rest of the month with my usual deodorant).

I use dove or sure extra strength

Clothes - if they do what mine do and come out clean but smelling sweaty try Napisan. If really bad, soak in Napisan for a while then wash, i usually chuck extra napisan in! Don't use fabric conditioner as it holds the smell in

Try 'sage' tablets. I'm sure they were recommended on here. If you google you will find lots of people recommending them. I bought them for my DH but hes hopeless at taking tablets so I can't tell you if they work yet. It's really hot here now so I think I will dig them out for me to try.

I sometimes use Vanish, sometimes Napisan and most of the times works well. I had a few shirts with sweat stains that nothing could get rid of and had to chuck them away.
danne received Nonchalante underarm pads a few days ago and so far - very impressed. 5 house points for recommendation.:)
