My pits are ALWAYS sweaty. NO MATTER WHAT! HELP! - Men's Health Message Board

I have tried pretty much every deodorant/anti-perspirant out there and nothing keeps my armpits dry. It's not just when I'm hot; even when I'm cold or comfortable my pits still sweat. It is so bad that the sweat will soak through 2 or 3 shirts. If I have no shirt on the sweat is so much that it actually drips from my armpits. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know a solution? It is really embarassing and I hate the fact that I can never just wear one T-shirt. Plus all my white undershirts have yellow stains in the pits, it's gross. Please HELP! Thanks!

Try this! Certain Dri. I used to have the same problem. No matter what kind of anti-perspirant that I used or how much I put on, I still sweat. I tried this stuff and it worked great. Put it on at night and then apply the reg. stuff in the morning. The bottle says to use sparingly and it means it. A little bit goes a long way! Good luck!

Thanks, I'll try that. But can you buy that over the counter? I don't think I've ever see that before. Where can I get it??

It's an over-the-counter product. I usually buy mine at CVS pharmacy. I think it costs about $4.99 or so but it's worth every penny. If I can help you any more, just post a message!

I have had this problem, and (strangely enough), it seems that if I stopped using anti-perspirant it really calmed down. Certain Dri does work, but it's not something you'd want to use for the rest of your life.

Long-term stress can cause a dramatic increase in sweating. And, like you probably have, I've had to replace my entire collection of shirts.
