sweaty problems

I have a bit of a sweating problem and am wondering if I can do much about it. my armpits tend not to be too bad but I get a really sweaty back, so that there are drops of sweat running down it.

I am getting married in a few months and am worried that I might end up with a sweaty wet patch on the back of my dress, which would be awful.

does anyone have any advice on improving things? I am currently a size 16 and am hoping to be a 14 by my wedding day, which I hope will help. I'm generally quite a hot person, I don't need the heating on, am wearing shorts and a t-shirt at the moment etc

I put sure maximum protection on the parts of my back that I can reach, but can't do all of it and I don't really want to have to ask anyone to do it for me. and i'm a bit worried if I use talc it might also leave a mark on my dress.

is there any other way to control sweat other than anti-perspirant?

thanks!

I know you can get Botox injections for your armpits (well seen it on TV) maybe you could get this for your back? I would say the weight loss will probably help a lot anyway

Have you seen that anti perspirent called Triple Dry (sometimes known as Linden Voss)?

It is a roll on and you put it on at night then wash it off in the morning. I have been using it all summer.

You use it every night for a week and then down to three times a week. So you could try it on your back (and arm pits) for a couple of weeks to see if it would work?
