If you can find this stuff called Maxim it actually stopped my hyperhidrosis after using just one bottle - all through high school I'd get pit stains just sitting in class. After I graduated I had had enough of that shit so I got some of that Maxim stuff and 10 years later I haven't had a problem with it again.
Edit: Here's a link if any of you with sweating issues want to give it a shot - https://www.amazon.com/Maxim-Prescription-Strength-Antiperspirant-Deodorant/dp/B0014DQLN2
Edit^2 : If Maxim doesn't seem like it is for you check the responses to this comment, people are leaving lots of great info for you guys, don't live with hyperhidrosis if you don't have to, wasn't really expecting this many people to reply to my comments in this thread.
Here's what worked for me (also filipino descent).
Stop shaving. When I started epilating my armpits they got much lighter. Waxing works too. Still not perfect but vast improvement. Exfoliate once in awhile. Another perk is before I'd shave almost every day, now after years of epilating the hair growth is totally dead so I only do it once a week.
Next, I switched to Dove Clear Tone antipersperant, http://www.amazon.com/Dove-Advanced-Beauty-AntiPerspirant-Deodorant/dp/B0063B1590 there's lots of similar out there, but this one was easy to find at any store. Boom, light armpits. And my doc thought it was my weight (though, YMMV of course)
I use ARM & HAMMER™ Essentials™ Solid Deodorant, Unscented
I like it because it works great and has no aluminum, parabens, colorants, or animal-derived ingredients. It does have scent but I think it comes naturally from its ingredients, it's not added so it's not perfumey, if thats a word.The scent is not strong. I commented this even tho it has some smell because crystal deodorant doesn't work that well for some people. (happened to my bf, and he switched to Arm and Hammer too) anyways YMMV.

Never had a chaffing issue after putting it on.
In terms of unscented deodorant, I use Arm & Hammer. The main selling point for me is the fact that it's all natural and cheap. I suffer from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), so my pits get really smelly really quickly. It works though, even if it means I have to apply it anywhere between 2-3 times per day. I avoid antiperspirant because the idea of clogging my pores overnight with aluminium makes me nervous. Plus I can't find conclusive evidence of whether or not it's truly safe to use.
For soap, I would definitely recommend against any "manly-smelling" products. I use Dove because it's great at keeping my skin from drying out and I always feel nice and soft after I take a shower.
As for shampoos, I don't really use anything to wash my hair. I just rinse off whenever I'm in the shower and that takes care of any lingering odours. I kinda prefer styling my hair with my natural oils anyway rather than bombarding it every day with all kinds of products.
When I use fragrances, I want that to be all people smell from me. I don't like the idea of my expensive eau de toilette mixing with Berry Blast Axe shampoo, Mountain Madness Old Spice body wash, and Great Googly Grape Gillette aftershave. I use 1-2 sprays of my fragrance and leave it at that. It's meant to be intimate and subtle enough for just that one person you want to make out with—not the entire room.
If you have a hairy back, there are now grooming tools to easily reach your back. I'm just a hairy guy and have been. Hair on your chest is one thing, but the back is another. This is especially true when it gets hot out; shaving my back made me sweat a bit less back there. So, I used this one:
BRO SHAVER Back Hair Shaver, Uses Standard Double Edge (DE) Safety Razor Blades, Stainless Steel Bolts, Cheap refills, Blades cost pennies, 15 razors included, Do-it-yourself https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JB4UQ7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-adQzb2AD37W9
It's durable, easy to use, and comes with an assortment of extra blades. I suggest putting down a towel underneath you, as well as a paper towel in the sink to help catch hair.
If you sweat, even when using deodorant, use the hardcore overnight stuff. I have used a few different brands, with this being the latest one:
Purax Antiperspirant Roll On Extra Strong https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W9OUCQ2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ZcdQzb59WHY2P
It lasts quite a long time overall and definitely helps with the pits. My pits get bad - very bad. At work I wear a uniform with a light blue shirt, so it's totally obvious if my arms move upward. Lucky for me, my arms are pretty big (humblebrag), so it blocks it out when they're down. These roll on antiperspirants make the sweat minimal or nothing. Take notice, they may irritate the skin, especially when first using.
Use facial moisturizer. After every shower I take I use a simple facial moisturizer I got from CVS. It's made for men (that's probably just an advertisement thing) and smells a bit like musk and cocoa. A weird, but really good smell.
I haven't seen it here, but gloss. You'll thank me and yourself when you get a cleaning at the dentist and it isn't like you're being tortured... as much.
Yeah, I have sweat problems too, but I'm also pretty sensitive to scents. I tend to get migraines if I am around scents for too long, and I can smell my deoderant all day if it's too strong. Men's deoderants tend to be really awful for me. I had to break up with a guy in high school because he wouldn't stop wearing Axe.
Now I use hypoallergenic Secret Clinical Strength, which is expensive and tiny, but works quite well. I put it on before bed and in the morning and barely ever sweat anymore, and have never noticed any stanky pits.
Soap: Ivory bars
Deodorant: Mitchim 48 hour unscented
It is worth understanding that nothing is truly unscented
These just don't add much and I end up smelling fresh & clean - or so I'm told - it's also worth remembering that we never really understand our own scent. We get used to it far too quick.
This combo, even thoguh I never wear cologne, it won't fight with the cologne.
I also use basic dandruff shampoo that has no extra added scents.
If your shampoo smells, and your soap smells, and your deodorant smells, and your shaving cream/gel/etc. has a scent... and then you add cologne you are layering all kinds of chaos together.
Once I realized this (as a much younger man) I focused on cleaning products that made me clean and then I could add scents to a neutral base vs. AXE AXE AXE AXE. :)
If your cleaning products are going to have scents, at least make sure they all work together and with any cologne you throw on top
May the Gods who don't exist help anyone who gets within smelling distance at that point :)
How the fuck am I supposed to know what Zanzibar smells like anyway? This may not smell anything like it for all I know.
In addition to what people have said about saying it works better for you, if this is going to be a problem with them you could also go with an unscented men's deodorant. Mitchum makes one, as does Speed Stick and Arm & Hammer.
Lose weight if possible, moisture wicking underwear (Look at something like this,) and try a powder like Gold Bond or this(I usually apply it after drying off when I get out of the shower, it's got a pleasant cooling sensation) but any talc powder will help so if you want to go cheaper try baby powder.
This one's called Fresh Balls
Pick me!
I got this: Dove Men+. Best one i have used by far and have been using it for about 8 months now. Not going to use anything else again.
The other ones I have tried that are even more powerful than this one are:
Right Guard 5
and
Degree Adrenaline Series
I dont sweat "that much" to warrant either of these two.
Yeah, compression or a good suggestion. Look into getting one of these, helps keeps the thunder in place. I tried a more expensive one, but I like this one better. Also, this stuff is also really good to protect against chafing.
http://www.amazon.com/Balla-Powder-Talc-For-Original/dp/B000VLH8W6
Try Mitchum - it lasts 24hrs and I have no issues with stains.
https://www.amazon.com/Mitchum-Anti-Perspirant-Deodorant-Unscented-3-4-Ounce/dp/B001EWEP86?th=1
That's the stuff I've been using for years.
EDIT: Moreso to this point - a true 24 hour antiperspirant does exactly that - prevents you from sweating. If you sweat, then your product of choice isn't working. The problem there is that it simply may be your body chemistry that is allowing the sweat to mix with bacteria and turn yellow, not the antiperspirant you are using.
Have you heard of Dove Cleartone? I bought it recently because my right armpit has some darkness I don't fancy. Works like a charm, and the results showed after a week of regular use.

This works better than anything else I have tried. Just to warn you, it fucking burns when you put it on. You're either gonna have to sit through it or put something on it to relieve the pain. This is one reason you don't want to shave before putting it on. Remember, it's totally worth the brief pain of applying it.
http://www.amazon.com/Balla-Powder-Talc-For-Original/dp/B000VLH8W6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369963031&sr=8-1&keywords=balla+power
Works wonders
try this I personally haven’t used it but have heard great things! I’m buying one for myself for an upcoming music festival I’m attending. I had a terrible chafing incident a couple years ago from wet shorts at an amusement park, I feel your pain.
I bought some of this here shit it is so good. I wear dresses to work a lot so now that its summer I use it almost every day. not slimy or gross and stays on all day!
Not a deodorant, but an antiperspirant.
Arm & Hammer Ultra Max Advanced Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant, Invisible Solid, Unscented
My solution to this was to wear Certain Dri to bed. Then I shower and put on deodorant in the morning, and get very minimal BO during the day.
I swear by Gold Bond sticks. ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007VC9DKI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_8eZlDbEVRHTKA )
Either that or Body Glide brand. Looks like deodorant packaging, even, so it's easy to keep on hand. I just rub it on wherever it's needed. In fact, it works wonders for your feet in dress shoes or heels!
oh man i feel for you, OP. I've had this my whole life too. The only thing that has realllllly helped me is this special deodorant. Not like the stuff you get in CVS. I believe it is called Maxim. You can get it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Maxim-Prescription-Strength-Antiperspirant-Deodorant/dp/B0014DQLN2 -- have you ever tried it?
I've been using it since I was in High School. And i swear by it now. I went from having to apply it every night before bed to only using it maybe 1x month 10 years later. Over time it has actually all but ceased my excessive sweating. (I'd read this could happen but was not a believer until it actually happened to me). Anyways, if you haven't tried it I would suggest checking it out. It really saved me.
(Should also mention that for a while applying the deodorant was not a pleasant experience. It often burned. Over time though this totally faded as a side effect too. Power through it - I don't think you'll regret it)
If it turns out that its just chafing, then I HIGHLY recomend this stuff http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Friction-Defense-Soothing/dp/B007VC9DKI Its kinda pricy, and it goes quick, but it beats the living hell out of any kind of powder you can find and actually lasts all day.
*Edit: Fixed link
..and overpriced to hell.
Mitchum is great: http://www.amazon.com/Mitchum-Anti-Perspirant-Deodorant-Unscented-3-4-Ounce/dp/B001EWEP86
Try different brands.
I used to use Old Spice Red Zone which is very strong. (You'd pretty much have to use sandpaper to get it off your armpits while in the shower.) Switched to "Right Guard Total Defense Power Stripe Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Invisible Solid", and only lightly apply. Works great, comes off easy, and I can wear white t-shirts again. (No more yellow staining.)

:)
Here ya' go bud.
I use Gold Bond Friction Defense and it's always worked great for me. It's also a lot cheaper than body glide.
I've had good results from this stuff.
It's not "clinical" strength, but shit shit is awesome https://smile.amazon.com/Mitchum-Anti-Perspirant-Deodorant-Unscented-3-4-Ounce/dp/B001EWEP86
You can also try something like this.
http://www.amazon.com/Maxim-Prescription-Strength-Antiperspirant-Deodorant/dp/B0014DQLN2
This blocks at least some of the sweat. Some say some of the stuff in this thing may not be healthy in the long run, but I doubt the occasional use does anything. Best applied after a shower the night before.
this stuff is a godsend https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Friction-Defense-Unscented/dp/B007VC9DKI
Dove Men has an anti-perspirant that doesn’t leave pit stains. Can’t remember the exact name of it but I get it at Target
Edit:
Here it is
I swear by this stuff. Get it, use it, thank me later.
I have a bad sweaty problem. Only thing that works for me is Maxim. Apply 1 swipe at night, and it's good for 2 days. If that doesn't work, then definitely talk to your doc about a prescription antiperspirant.
Because the Maxim isn't a deodorant, I'll sometimes use one of the fruit smelling Old Spice deods (Wolfthorn is a tropical paradise) or a deod by an Ebay seller. It's called "the pits" and I have the lychee scent.
EDIT Also, relevant Portlandia spoof on natural deodorants. My boyf and I couldn't stop laughing the other night when we saw it.
Allow me to change your life: Balla Powder will morph your balls from sweaty marbles into golden medallions that manufacture pheromones which will draw females in from miles away. It seriously smells that fucking good.

I've had the same issue for several years and have had some success with this product: http://www.amazon.com/Maxim-Prescription-Strength-Antiperspirant-Deodorant/dp/B0014DQLN2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406427878&sr=8-1&keywords=maxim
Gold Bond makes an anti-friction stick that is amazing as well and doesn't wear off as quickly as deodorant seems to for me.
This is the one, but I found it cheaper at Walgreens than on Amazon if you're in the US.
https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Friction-Defense-Ounce/dp/B007VC9DKI/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1469313063&sr=8-1&keywords=gold+bond+friction
Try having her use Secret clinical strength antiperspirant. It worked wonders for my SD19. It is supposed to be applied at night so you can easily monitor it and make it part of her bedtime ritual. Hopefully that will help to solve the problem!
https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Antiperspirant-Deodorant-Stress-Response/dp/B00TR9AK28/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=secret+clinical+strength+deodorant&qid=1566886554&s=gateway&sprefix=secret+clini&sr=8-6
Right Guard is a stick. It's subtle so not too many people notice unless they get really close, like for hugs. I rarely wear cologne since I didn't get as many compliments for it.
This looks awesome! You're wonderful. :)
Kind of a niche product, but this clinical strength deodorant was awful. It was gooey and took forever to dry... it barely functioned as a regular antiperspirant, let alone clinical strength. Just... don't go there.
My last gifted post.
Better yet, Balla Powder - bitches love the smell of original.
I'm Italian, so I feel your pain. Sigh. I've tried everything, and things are only getting worse since I seem to be developing a sensitivity to aluminium.
That being said, the only thing that works for me is being on a rotation of a few different brands of deodorant. If I stick with one for too long, it becomes ineffective. I just recently switched from Dove (which hardly did anything) to Secret's Clinical Strength and this stuff seems to be doing the trick.
For your sweating: http://www.amazon.com/Strong-Antiperspirant-Deodorant-Clinical-Strength/dp/B0014DQLN2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1314149605&sr=8-3
I used to sweat soooo freakin much, I didn't want to raise my hand in class blah blah blah. I used this and it TOTALLY fixes it. The only side effect is that if you put too much on/in the beginning when you put it on, your underarms can get really itchy. Put it on only before bed with an old tee, because it sometimes stains the shirt. But it works like a miracle.
Mitchum gel deodorant is extremely effective and not too expensive. Link to where you can buy a 4 pack for under 20 bucks. Cheap body wash mixed with a good luffa will get you squeaky clean, store brand dental floss, tooth brushes, and toothpaste will do the job if you maintain a good oral hygiene regiment, and regular hand/face soap hasn't killed me yet!
I'm beginning to wonder if they stopped making it. My kid used to get the worst blisters and we'd have that in the soccer bag at all times. It worked great, but the last time I was at CVS, they didn't have it.
Edit: just saw that they did indeed discontinue it :/ It looks like Gold Bond's is just as good.
If it's helpful at all, this stuff has been a literal godsend for me. I had tried every kind of deodorant/antiperspirant you could think of before this and none work as well as this one.
Not sure it will be much help to you if you're primarily sweating from your face/head etc., but for someone who sweats a lot from their pits and inner thighs, this has been a game changer.
If you search on chafing cream, you get a bunch of hits like

I used to sweat like a fiend as well. Then I tried this. Maxim
It's pure magic.
You can get it at your local pharmacy for cheaper probably (without a prescription). They will probably have to order it though as I doubt they have it in stock.
really? i have tried speed stick, degree, and dove, and i still sweat like a hooker in church with them :( did u try those? i heard good things about old spice, i have not tried any medical ones yet - you think old spice will work for me?
can u link which old spice you use? is it this one?

Fresh Balls, yo. Or just simple baby powder if you're cheap.
Fresh So Dry Fresh Balls, 3.4 fl oz 2 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00973H5J0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_R.uRDbRKS4QAB
I would assume your regular physician. My Old Spice is labeled prescription strength but available over the counter. You can buy other over the counter high strength antiperspirant like this one which SHOULD help if not I'd talk to my physician and see what course he recommends.
Choose an antiperspirant and get something clear to avoid the little chalky 'stretch marks' that can appear if you put a shirt on immediately following application.
I know Gillette has options.
Buy this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007VC9DKI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 apply everywhere. I had zero chafing from the 2 lights and 2 tough challenges and it was still on after multiple dunks in the pacific ocean and alll the hours. Shoulders, lower back, waistline, etc. I also bring it with me. buy it naow!
I use Arm and Hammer deodorant. It's simple, you can get it unscented, it's cheap ($1-2), and it works well. After buying it once because it was 98 cents, I never turned back.
Edit: Link so you can see what I mean on Amazon, though you probably don't need 6 of them!
I recommend some of this also for the potential chafing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YBNC9CE/
It's cheaper than the body glide that gets recommended and so far for me has worked just as well.
Make sure to take it slow. I'm lighter than you but still far too heavy for my height at 5'9" 252 (started at 259 a couple of weeks ago) and I overdid the pace on week 1 days 2 and 3 and now am stuck doing low impact work due to knee pain. Hoping that works itself out over the next few days and I might be able to get back on the pavement soon.
I use fresh balls. Idk what's going on with the price right now though. I spent $20 on my last 2 pack now they're asking $40?
i usually don't wear socks with sperry's. they should be leather, so they usually don't smell as bad. however, when it does, i use balla powder and sprinkle in a few dashes.
Fresh Balls! Used to great success in the middle of summer outside.

Also, here's a nice non-scientific review of many products from Art of Manliness:
http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/08/13/preventing-swamp-crotch/
I highly recommend Gold Bond Friction Defense
I usually wear toe cover/cushion things like these which covers the part of my feet that have the most issues in certain shoes. Having that thin bit of material in between my feet and the shoes makes a huge different. If I'm wearing shoes that don't work with those, or for different parts of my feet, I use this stuff. I sometimes need to touch up during the day, depending on how much I'm on my feet, but it really helps prevent blisters.
Get him some of these and also these
I went through this faze a few years ago and I found Mitchum, but it is antiperspirant. Here is one for sensitive skin. Good luck on your quest.
This is the one that I use while camping - unscented, and clinical strength. My boyfriend uses it too. http://www.amazon.com/Clinical-Antiperspirant-Deodorant-Sensitive-Hypoallergenic/dp/B003FXTYEW
Armpit sweats? This
This stuff worked like magic for my pits, I've never had issues with back tho
This worked well for me when I was quite a bit larger than I am now. Regular Degree does the job now.
They also have pads you can stick to your pit sleeve at most drug stores.
I'm a big fan of Gold Bond's Friction Defense.
Hi there!
​
First of all, I think it is important to diagnose whether you have primary or secondary HH. This may affect which treatment is usefull.
​
Secondly, I also suffer a lot from forehead sweating! Previously, I have succeded with aluminum chloride (https://www.amazon.com/Maxim-Prescription-Strength-Antiperspirant-Deodorant/dp/B0014DQLN2). However, it dries out my skin rather much, so I only used if a few days up to special occasions (weddings etc.).
​
A few weeks ago I went to the doctor and was prescribed glycopyrrolate creme (3%). It's rather expensive (~100 usd for 30ml) but I only use very little at a time. I did a test run with it for the previous 4 days and it has worked very well for me. My skin does not dry out and my forehead has not been sweating at all. I have not tested it during parties wearing a suit yet (usually the worst time!) but I'm kinda looking forward to it. My forehead feels a little more greasy when touching it, but it's not visible (my wife and my mirror at least tells me).
It sounds like you've probably tried it all, but just in case, have you looked into Maxim anti-perspirant? i used to sweat pretty bad and this stuff worked wonders. I haven't looked back since.
link: http://www.amazon.com/Maxim-Prescription-Strength-Antiperspirant-Deodorant/dp/B0014DQLN2
What this guy said. I used to have a huge perspiration problem but it's been manageable since I started using Certain Dri. If that doesn't work check out Maxim Antiperspirant, which is stronger but much more expensive.
It's amazing what not having sweaty pits will do for his confidence, it's totally worth the money.
I know it’s not in your supply room but it’s amazing what a good pair of underwear can do to help. Check out the uniqlos airism line.

This stuff also works wonders.
[Balla](http://www.amazon.com/Balla-Powder-Talc-Men-Original/dp/B000VLH8W6 "wort wort wort")
i used to use something like this https://www.amazon.com/Maxim-Prescription-Strength-Antiperspirant-Deodorant/dp/B0014DQLN2/ref=sr_1_16_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1483387924&sr=8-16&keywords=antiperspirant
at night. Then use regular deoderant during the day, and cheap undershirts help sweat from showing.
Try Maxim. It's the only antiperspirant that actually worked for me. I literally begin sweating as soon as I get out of the shower. Be sure to heed the warnings in the review though. That shit burns if you put too much on. The first night I didn't think it'd be that bad, but trust me, IT IS. I was literally up the entire night with my armpits itching like crazy. I had literally scratched them until they bled. But for the first time, I didn't sweat! Yay?
After learning how much I needed on me, I would shower the night before, apply the antiperspirant, and go about my business the next day. There would be times where I would feel body increase in temperature, and feel myself sweating all over, but nothing from my armpits. I'm telling you, this shit works. The best part is that it stays on even if you shower. Obviously it's not as great as before and you might get some wetness, but it's nothing compared to what I had before. It also helps if you start wearing an undershirt, if you're able to. For me it seems to "insulate" me somehow and keep me from sweating more. No clue if that's actually what's happening, but it's the best answer I have.
Am I allowed to keep these at BMT. I'm not a fan of the powder stuff I hear they give you.
For chaffing this is the best goldbond by far....the powder and cream work but nowhere near as well as this.

Walgreens usually has them
Mitchum Unscented Gel
Been using it for years and is carried at most stores.
I use this. It works pretty well so I see no need to change it. If it didn't ruin my clothes I would wear it all the time.
I have stinky armpits and my husband magically somehow does not have BO. Like ever. So he's super sensitive to my armpit smell. I was using Secret Original before and it wasn't cutting it. I tried a bunch of brands, including roll ons and gels, but finally I tried Secret Clinical and it's much better!
This is what I use, but in the sport scent. You're supposed to put it on at night, but I just use it in the morning and I don't have any problems with it. It takes some getting used to how much you're supposed to use (it comes out through these little holes and when you first use it, it comes out unevenly).
Ah okay haha. I was getting worried for a second. Buffpuffs can be pretty rough haha.
Oh okay you use the roll-on? That's actually one of the weaker options (12%) and is just aluminum chloride, baking soda to buffer any hydrochloric acid that forms from sweat reacting with the aluminum. Water and some rubbing should be enough.
I use this personally:
Secret Antiperspirant and Deodorant for Women, Clinical Strength Invisible Solid, Stress Response, 1.6 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TR9AK28/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MPk7BbCY6PWCN
The scent is unisex to me (I'm a guy) and lasts a longgg time. And the type of aluminum used is one of the more gentler forms. Goes on dry as a soft solid too. The liquid roll-ons are usually the most effective as they absorb deeper usually, like drysol and driclor (which have alcohol bases) but the wet application bothers me. And the gels take awhile to fully dry as well, even if they are a bit more skin friendly.
The one I use would need some sort of soap or cleanser to remove, but I wear it all day till my shower and you could definitely apply deodorant on top of it without washing it off beforehand.

Unscented deoderant
Dr. Bronners Almond Soap
Arko Shave Soap
Unscented Aftershavebalm
That's my combo, smell from this stuff is almost non-existent. Just a mild linger if you get really close from the Almond soap and shave soap. I don't like overpowering smells.
^ This. I've noticed that it's not as easy to find as it was a few years ago. For that reason, I'd recommend going the Amazon route. To be clear, that link is just to point you in the right direction. I'm not trying to profit from it, and I welcome you to search the same product yourself.

I just started using arm and hammer unscented deodorant and it's the only thing that's lasted the whole day for me. Plus, it's cheap. Some of those special "clinical" lady deodorants can be $7+ per stick and don't even seem to last very long.
I want to try some out. It has some pretty shit reviews on Amazon. People talk about it staining/bleaching their clothes. I assume that hasn't happened to you, or do you recommend a particular kind?
I'm a big guy who used to be even bigger. Even though I've lost a considerable amount of weight, this is still a problem. This stuff works wonders for me in preventing that. Just rub it on any places likely to chafe before running, biking, etc.

I'll throw out the brand Maxim. It worked much better for me than Certain Dri.
http://www.amazon.com/Maxim-Prescription-Strength-Antiperspirant-Deodorant/dp/B0014DQLN2
I've dealt with this forever, it ruins everything. Here's what I've found works.
I've been where you are nothing but black t-shirts and a million undershirts. This is my routine and its working pretty awesomely for me. I've gotten to where I can wear a button-up shirt without an undershirt even on the hottest days.
I've used maxim for years and it's the only thing that's worked. Sounds like it's similar to certaindri that you put it on before you go to bed and wash it out in the morning. After about 3 days you'll stop sweating completely. When I don't use it I'm a waterfall of pit sweat.
You can wear it with anti-perspirant. Scented anti-perspirant may not work well with a cologne though. Sometimes the scents clash and create terrible mixtures.
The stuff I use is Mitchums unscented Anti-perspirant and deodorant, and it works amazingly well with colognes. It's got a slight "clean" scent but it can never be detected past your clothes.
I apply cologne shortly before leaving home.
Wear whatever you want. Buy this. https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Friction-Defense-Unscented/dp/B007VC9DKI?th=1
Thanks! Any idea if you are fine running unscented anti-perspirant, like this?
I use this stuff here while it does have aluminum in it, it hasnt stained my white tees (yet) and its clear so no white stains on black shirts.
No prob! I think this was the scent I used (smells like your typical "shower fresh" scent), but they've got the rest listed!
Freah Balls sounds weird but it’s an amazing product. I work in a factory and the summers are ridiculously hot. Started using that stuff and never had that problem again

There's a product called fresh balls (no shit) which I think is basically anti-perspirant cream. Sweat = chafing, so if you keep things dry down there it'll help a lot.
Me too, specifically this one
Amazon link
I like it because it is a "soft solid" and doesn't leave those deodorant stains on undershirts and seems to go on easier
My friend who binds recommended using lots of baby powder plus rubbing an anti-chafe stick on your nipples to keep them from rubbing and getting sore! Something like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YBNC9CE/ref=mp_s_a_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1522879529&sr=8-6&keywords=anti+chafe+stick&dpPl=1&dpID=412863BaR3L&ref=plSrch
I used to use this on my thighs when i was a long -distance runner! I haven't tried my friend's advice yet (haven't gotten my binder in the mail yet -also from gc2b!). But they've been binding for a while! Good luck!
Not shorts but I live in dresses in the summer and I swear by this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007VC9DKI/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?qid=1457394607&sr=8-2&keywords=chafing+stick&pi=SY200_QL40
Ordered a bottle of maxim.
Will report back with results. It's 15% aluminum chloride, edging out certain dri's 12%.
Sorry if this has been mentioned but I can't recommend this highly enough I had armpit hyperhidrosis to the point that it would physically drip down my torso. Put this on twice a week and I don't sweat ever. It's amazing.
use as instructed. it goes on the night before. You can shower the next morning if you want.
Gold Bond Stick for sure, this shit saves my life every time! (W1)
Use a washcloth (really scrub) when you shower and a body powder to stay fresh. My friends swear by Bálla, but good ole Gold Bond does the trick for me. Watch out for the menthol brand, it can be a bit much for some.
Edit: In the meantime, just wear this shirt everywhere. Because I can't...
This stuff is life changing. Get the tingley version!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000VLH8W6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1377660361&sr=8-1&pi=SL75
gold bond is great and useful for everyday use
bella (http://amzn.com/B000VLH8W6) if i'm meeting my lady and want to give them a little better smell
THIS. TRY THIS.
It's so worth it. It's change my life, and the lives of two of my guy friends who sweat through clothes when it's 30 degrees out.
Edit: this is totally normal. I get it really bad after sex.
It's Ga, It's humid as fuck, you're going to look like you jumped in a pool pretty much no matter what. But I find that this helps a lot with the pit sweat.
I had luck with armpit odors with perscription antiperspirant. I tried deodorants (smelly armpit stuff) of all kinds but I just smelled worse. It wasn't till I used unscented perscription antiperspirant. Or something like "Mennen Speed Stick Unscented Antiperspirant".

These are 4$ a stick and last 2-3 months, they come with a seal on them similair to a new jar of peanut butter, jelly, ketchup etc. and it feels a lot better than stick while leaving less residue
