...not good. They don't stay in the place, easily get creased, white fluff stays on the dress. Lots of Mneters recommended them, Am I the only one who don't find them usefull.

No, I had the same problem. Got very excited when I heard about them as I sweat a fair bit and was fed up of wearing strappy tops, and then they were a massive disappointment. They rubbed and moved and just made me panic and sweat even more. They're no use if you're petite either, mine were always on show.
Have you tried Driclor? There are some good reviews and it seemed to have a slight effect when I tried it, but it needs some dedication to really work I think!

I have, and not only Driclor but some other strong deodorants too but they are not good for my sensitive skin. Very painful experience, itchiness, irritation, nasty rash...I'm sure they work well if you don't have a sensitive skin.

It takes time to find good sweat pads. They are all different and they all perform differently. I had similar problem with pads I was using before but also I didn't have much choice so I had to put up with it. Same like Alisound I have sensitive skin so can't use aluminium based deodorants and the one that I use only cover up the sweat smell but I would still get wet patches on my dress.
casper91 Maybe the one that you were using is large size and was showing. I'm not the tallest person myself but the one that I use are medium size and never show. If I put them on the cotton they never move, they stay put and are very reliable. You not suppose to put them on the wool and sometimes I find that if on silk or very light materials they don't stick as well as on the cotton but still they stay attached. I find them fantastic and don't leave home without them. Which pads were you using? Did you try any other or you've just given up on pads.

I think they are very useful. Agree with ravencathy, try different one.

alisound · 08/06/2012 19:57

I've tried two different types and they were more or less the same so I've presumed there is no big difference between them. One was sweatex, another one, can't remember the name, from ebay. Which do you use

I was using My dry before and there was white fluff on my shirts and they were on large size and very thick but you could get them in the different colours. Now I'm using Nonchalante pads and they seem to be fine. No fluff, size is good and they really stick to dress.
