PROTIP:
Go to any drugstore and look on the bottom shelf for Certain Dri for about $5
Follow directions (by applying nightly), put on any regular deoderant you like during the day, and enjoy being sweat free FOREVER
I use arm and hammer. I think it's unisex. It's this one: https://www.amazon.com/Arm-Hammer-Essentials-Natural-Deodorant/dp/B00MUE56R6 (I don't buy it from Amazon but I think it's the same product)
Using an anti-perspirant like The Face Saver under your makeup can help a ton.
Do you use it against sweat or odour? If you use it against sweat, try certain dri or something similar. Use it 3 days in a row and then once a week. You won't sweat AT ALL. Just don't use it anywhere else.
I've got the EXACT same problem, and its gotten worse as I've gotten older. If I've got something coming up that I really want to make sure I'm not going to sweat at all during I use a combination of these and this stuff. I also get self conscious about it, but these two products have made a HUGE difference for me. That top customer review for the towelettes says everything I can about their effectiveness for my fellow sweaty faced brethren.
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.
Try the hippie-style underarm crystal thing. It doesn't smell like anything and doesn't keep you from sweating, but it does prevent bacteria from growing and thus keeps you from smelling. It's the underarm pinnacle IMO.
Edit: as someone else posted, here's an example.
Edit 2: The crystals are potassium alum aka potassium aluminum sulfate. Traditional antiperspirants are aluminum chloride. The distinction is as follows: The difference between potassium alum and aluminum chlorohydrate is that potassium alum is a much larger molecule, not thought to be absorbable through human skin. The difference between these two that I experienced is night & day - traditional antiperspirants have me reeking as soon as I miss a single day. In contrast the potassium alum crystal is very forgiving and I never smell bad, even if I miss a day. Everyone's own experience is the thing that matters here, and I'm just putting this out there since it gets so little press.

The twist: it is actually an antiperspirant
Over on the makeup sub, someone mentioned using
Neat Feat 3B Face Saver Antiperspirant Gel for Facial Perspiration and Shine as primer for hot days when you need your make up to stay put. I bought it. Tried it. It freaking works!
I have sensitive skin so I was nervous about the whole thing, but it kept my face dry. I noticed you canโt put it on too thin or it wonโt really be able to do its job, and you have to allow a few minutes to dry before adding makeup.
So, I've tried a ton of "natural" deodorants in my quest for a safer alternative to conventional antiperspirants, here's what I've got.
My absolute and utter favorite is the Crystal Essence roll on. It comes in a few scents and has a , it does not leave a residue and is the absolute closest thing you can find to a natural antiperspirant. As long as you apply it to clean skin, it does the job well. Basically, it's my holy grail of deodorants.
Other common natural deodorant sticks, like Tom's, Alba, Nature's Gate, etc.. the deo will go on "wet" feeling and tend to stay that way until it dries. Which can be uncomfortable/annoying for most people. I've found most of these will leave a residue behind.
Natural spray deodorants are so-so, from what I've found. The Weleda rose spray deo works pretty well but can smell alittle weird after awhile. No residue though!
ZeroSweat Antiperspirant Deodorant | Clinical Strength Hyperhidrosis Treatment - Reduces Armpit Sweat,1 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K4I91RG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3x5LDbTGVHBNK
Get some of this stuff and use as directed.
I use it once per week and I have literally no sweat in my armpits at all. I used to get so sweaty Iโd have to dry myself off a couple times per day.
Do NOT try Organic 101, which is popular on Amazon and reviewed positively elsewhere. Part of the Merino advantage imho is getting a few wears in before washing. This deodorant accumulated beeswax and retained BO in the pit crevices. Was a real pain getting the residue out. And in the meantime a slight odor remained in the shirts. FWIW Puracy stain remover worked after several applications.
I made the mistake of going all-in on some new Outlier before a summer trip last year. Was mostly successful.
After trying that one, a few from natural foods groceries and Whole Foods and Arm & Hammer natural, I've settled on Underarmed, which is available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XPDFSZW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
No affiliation with this company.
Downside is this stuff is relatively expensive vs other products. But it's been best of any I've tried. No smell for at least 8 hrs or longer, no residue. Works great with Outlier merino (as well as Pistol Lake Eudae).
Happy to give back to this sub.
Apply Certain Dri the night before. Put on your favorite smelling deodorant (not antiperspirant) in the morning.
Another vote for the crystal deodorant...the key is to apply a lot fresh out of the shower. It works by inhibiting the smelly bacteria from starting to grow...once it's there the deodorant can't do anything. But as long as you do that it works great! I like the chamomile one but the unscented is fine too.
I can't shed any light on this I'm afraid, though I can offer a 'solution' (apologies for the pun) which can help you: This. Given it is a spray, it would probably make for the easiest application for a (probable) hairy area.
Goodluck.

I buy fragrance free products by and large. Here are those I use:
Outside of cologne, the only scented products I use are Ultra Swim shampoo and conditioner, as I swim laps most mornings to start my day and my hair would get fried by chlorine otherwise.
The trick with wearing cologne every day is to apply just enough that people can only smell it if they are close enough to hug you. It depends on how many layers you are wearing, how and where you apply the cologne and the strength of the scent you're wearing.
Have you tried salt sticks? I can't attest to their efficacy personally, but my friend uses them, is prone to sweating, and does not smell. I think you're supposed to use them for a few weeks before they reach their full "potential".
I use Arm & Hammer - Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Deodorant, Fresh - 2.5 oz - 2 pk https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MUE56R6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_lXRSAbCPWZXMD
I think you have something called Hyperhidrosis. I have too. I sweat a lot without doing anything. I could be playing Fifa and it would look like I've had some marathon. But not. However not doctors could help me with my problem. So I took matters in my own hand and found this wonderfull product!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Perspi-Guard-Antiperspirant-Treatment-50ml/dp/B004803YDI
It really just makes your armpits dry as a dessert. What you do is, apply it before you sleep in the effected area( Your armpit), and the next morning wash your armpits, and then you have 5 days of dry armpits, but you have to apply it every 5 days. But it only takes like 2 minutes!
Alright I am a guy, that sweat a lot (mainly arm pits). About 3 weeks ago I bought an anti-presperant called Certain Dri(link goes to amazon.com page) and my arm pits haven't sweat even a bead of sweat since. Even when I work out!
I apply it when I go to bed at night. It is odorless, clear and not sticky or anything. It works overnight to shrink the sweat pores.
I've heard it works on feet and other areas, so you could at least try it.
Good luck!
Better LPT: Prevent yellow pit stains by not sweating at all. Use Certain Dri (not affiliate amazon link: Certain Dri) and then use normal deodorant.
I know you have probably tried a million things, and i hope my suggestion isn't upsetting, but have you tried Lavilin? I have/had a similar issue with odor for a long time (I am not sure if it is related to my traumas) and it is the only thing that really worked.

Arm & Hammer Ultra Max Advanced Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant, Invisible Solid, Unscented
Zero Sweat
I live in Texas and it is hot and humid here most of the year. I have been dealing with my right armpit sweating uncontrollably for years. It could be the middle of winter and my right arm would sweat through a thick sweatshirt even if I was standing outside.
I have tried many different products like Mitchum Clincal anti-perspirant, many different versions of Degree and so on. I could be sitting in an air conditioned office wearing a thin cotton t-shirt and my right arm pit would be sweating like I just ran 5 miles. My left arm was fine. I looked up why only my right arm pit was doing this but could not really find an answer. I was even considering getting botox injections to stop this. I decided to look on amazon for some underarm pads and was about to buy some when I saw other customers had also bought Zerosweat I read many of the reviews and saw some people had issues with burning after being applied. As I kept reading I did notice that was mostly people that took a shower at night and then applied Zerosweat. I went ahead and bought it really hoped it worked but I was expected to be let down again. Well I wasn't!
Zerosweat arrived on a Sunday and I applied it about an hour before I went to bed, just in case it started burning or I had a bad reaction to it I could wash it off. I applied it with 2 strokes down and up and that's it. I did experience a slight sting/itchy feeling in the middle of the night but nothing that was terrible. I woke up the next morning, took my shower, applied my regular deodorant and got ready for work. Usually after about 30 minutes my right arm pit is sweating and it is soaked through my t shirt, but not this day. I had no sweat from my right arm all day. That night I applied Zerosweat again an hour before I went to bed. Again I had a slight sting/itchy feeling but still nothing that was out of the ordinary. Tuesday was the same thing, no sweat at all from my right arm. That night I did not apply zerosweat because it should last a few days and not have to be applied every day. The next morning was the same results. No sweat at all from my right arm and I had not applied it since Monday night.
I am in love with this product and will continue to use it for as long as they make it. My shirts are now saved!
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.
In the summer when I'm going sockless or wearing sandals, I absolutely will not leave the house without a foot deodorant! I really like Carpe Antiperspirant Foot Lotion, but there are similar products at the drugstore. I don't have smelly feet, but a hot day can defeat the best of us! I just feel so much more confident knowing there is a 0% chance anyone is going to get a whiff of foot odor from me!
Yes
Carpe Antiperspirant Foot Lotion, A Dermatologist-Recommended Solution to Stop Sweaty, Smelly feet, Helps Prevent blisters, Great for hyperhidrosis
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019E8H5TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_iP9kDb8PXP6JH
Go on amazon buy this! It's called Pit Paste. My mom and aunt swear by it. Until this my mom hasn't found a deodorant that works!
Here are some things that I have found help for me at least:
1.) The biggest one is manscaping. Honestly. I bought a $20 set of clippers from walmart, and it has worked wonders. My pits are the biggest offender, so I use a #1 guard on the clippers, and take care of them. Less hair means less surface area for bacteria to grow an cling to.
2.) When showering, is use a basic shower brush. It is abrasive enough to feel like it is really clearing everything away, with the added benefit of exfoliation.
3.) Using a moisturizing bar of soap. My normal process is: rinse, soap, brush, rise, soap, brush, rinse.
4.) Others have mentioned Certain Dri which you apply at night before bed, and works wonders. I also rotate between 3 different deodorants/antiperspirants from day to day. If I only use 1, it is like my skin develops a resistance to it. My brain wants to say that is total crap, but I get better results by rotating. I then hit my chest with a light spray of body spray, like Axe. A little goes a long way with these. Srsly. After I am dressed, I use one squirt of cologne and I'm good to go.
Hope some of these help. Hang in there brother!
The suggestion to use โNatural deodorantโ is absurd. My guess is the author has zero experience with Hyperhidrosis and thinks natural solutions fix all possible problems. This reeks of being rooted in a Naturalistic Fallacy. Not only does the author tersely recommend โnatural deodorantโ, but they also failed to mention which one works, suggesting absolutely zero research into the subject, after all, surely there are natural deodorants that don't work, right?
For people who want a real solution, my best recommendation is to use a very powerful anti-persperant called Certain DRI, which is not to be confused with what's just a moderately powerful anti-persperant+deodorant called Certain DRI A.M. You may have to go to a Pharmacy to find it, but at least it's over-the-counter.
Things to know:
The Certain DRI A.M. is just like any other deodorant, and is used the morning you need it. Not particularly impressive, as it's on par with a stick of Mitchum Advanced Control.
Hopefully this will help anybody who's ruining their shirts or feels forced to wear undershirts.
Primal pit paste is a deodorant that uses baking soda as one of the main ingredients, and it works wonders when it comes to reduce body odor. I use it everyday, it's the best deoderant I have found without aluminium. Here's a link to reviews on Amazon
I'm not claiming it is the best when really letting out the sweat, but when I'm at a bar or a show for 2-6 hours it holds up just enough. I still sweat through it, but it keeps me from having thst definitive BO smell and more of an earthy, natural aroma.
The best and weirdest response so far was post uh... engagement in bed, I like to spoon and bask for a while while muscles are still twitching and feel nice, and my female partner, instead of spooning up to my side and lying with her head against my chest where I beckoned her, she put her face directly against my armpit and deeply inhaled. She did this little wiggle and settled against me in this super satisfying, sexy way that made me feel so accepted and fulfilled. It was easily one of the best aftersex baskings I've ever had. It made me feel so sexy and special.
Edit: syntax mistake
Mitchum Clinical Performance contains 20% Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex Gly (the most common compound used as an anti-perspirant) which is the highest you can get without a prescription. It looks like Certain-Dri is only 12%.
I have really sweaty feet and was tired of getting myself into stinky situations when it was impractical to wear socks.
I recently tried this antiperspirant lotion on my feet and it really works!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019E8H5TC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492629785&sr=8-1&keywords=foot+antiperspirant
I happened to read about these two products today in a lifehacker newsletter I receive, perhaps they may help? [Carpe]() foot antiperspirant or [Sweat Block](). I had no idea such products existed until this morning and the Amazon reviews rate them as excellent. Also I have read that 20 min black tea foot soaks helps with the smell allegedly, never tried it, so ymmv.
As to why they sweat so much, it's probably hyperhidrosis, which is a fancy way of saying overactive sweat glands. Usually it's hereditary, kicking in around puberty. I have a couple of family members who suffer from it. They are otherwise healthy except for the excessive sweating. There may be other medical causes, especially if it occurs later in life, but usually has other symptoms with it at some point.
Edit: a typo
for you
I use Underarmed here and LOVE it. I tried so many others (toms, native, primal pit paste, etc) before find this one. It took ~2 weeks for me to adjust. Itโs on the pricier side but one stick has lasted me almost 5 months (?!)
This will change your life, I promise.
Don't overuse it, though... I apply it once every couple of weeks and that works just fine.
I loved this! For the deodorant, the only aluminum free one that worked for me was Lavilin deodorant (http://www.amazon.com/Lavilin-Underarm-Deodorant-Cream-12-5/dp/B0013OXEFU). It's a cream so it's kind of a hassle to put on.
For the sunscreen do you mind a whitecast?
Also, just because we get in little cat fights now and then doesnโt mean we arenโt a united front. Fuck Brenda and be healthy my mans!
Got you with a link to the aluminum free deodorant I use. Donโt get turned off by the organic bit. It actually works and youโre not filling your pores with metal.
Natural Aluminum Free Deodorant Stick (That Works) Stay Fresh All Day - Underarmed for Women & Men - Organic, Healthy, Safe, Non Toxic - Phthalate, Paraben, Gluten & Cruelty Free (Lavender Scent) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XPDFSZW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kaZyDb6J4SX6X
Again, I like Bathhouse's so far. I used to use Eau de Minimes, which smells heavenly and works well, but stopped after seeing it had a medium-high rating on the EWG database (but then I read that the EWG may not be the most trustworthy, so I might try it again). Soapwalla's and Lush's Aromaco also work great, but irritated my armpits because of the baking soda over time (my bf still uses Aromaco without problem, though). Also have read amazing things about Lavilin but haven't tried it.
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.
I use this Crystal Deoderant. It's not an antiperspirant, but it works really well, and 1 stick lasts a year. You can also get the same thing in a liquid spray, but I have never personally used it.
Personally, the last thing I want to wear in super-hot weather is a lot of layers of makeup. I like products that help to limit perspiration, like Mehron No Sweat liquid or Neat 3B Face Saver gel. Or both. A little tenacious foundation over that like Revlon Colorstay, a TINY bit of loose powder pressed over that with a puff, and that's it. No primer, no layering powder under stuff, just keepin' it simple.
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.
You don't have to shave your armpits, just trim them. You need to get the hair short enough for the deodorant to reach skin. I use a 2 guard on my trimmer every couple of weeks.
Then, use Crystal hippie deodorant, I prefer the liquid roll-on. It's not a traditional deodorant nor is it an anti-perspirant, it's a salt stick. The salts dehydrate and kill the bacteria that cause B.O.
You'll still sweat, but your sweat won't smell bad; instead you will smell pleasantly neutral. It also won't turn the armpits of all your shirts yellow, nor will anti-perspirant residue run off onto your shirts and get pits all crusty. The Crystal hippie deodorant still has aluminum, but it's a different compound that your body won't absorb. Super hippies still won't use it, but they stink, so that's the tradeoff.
It is deodorant https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Clinical-Sensitive-Unscented-Deodorant/dp/B003FXTYEW/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1542234034&sr=8-1&keywords=b003fxtyew
Certain Dri: https://www.amazon.com/Certain-Antiperspirant-Solid-Excessive-Perspiration-1-7/dp/B002BMB1MG?th=1
Arm and Hammer Essentials Natural deodorant Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Deodorant, Fresh - 2.5 oz - 2 pk https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MUE56R6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_elCxzbYRKRE1H
I then either put on a little bit of gold Bond body powder or generic talcum powder. Works perfectly.
I used aluminum based antiperspirant for years until I had a severe, allergic reaction. This combo took a while to find but works well for me.
Mitchum Smart Solid, Unscented.
not sure if you've used Underarmed before but it's worked absolute wonders for me.
You could always try Gamer Grip. It's a tad on the expensive side but you can make it last, and it DOES actually work, from personal experience.
Otherwise yeah, maybe a new shell or grip attachment could help, but I have no experience with those things.
Carpe Antiperspirant Foot Lotion, A Dermatologist-Recommended Solution to Stop Sweaty, Smelly feet, Helps Prevent blisters, Great for hyperhidrosis https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019E8H5TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_aOfXDbF1SJ0M
Just search amazon for foot deodorant.
I've been able to extend the wear out of my clothes by wearing a cotton tank underneath my tops (I love the $2 ones from F21, they're 100% cotton and wash & breathe really well), switching to Himalayan crystal salt deodorant (this one is my favorite), hanging up my clothes immediately upon arriving home, and switching to natural fabrics. The tank will absorb most of the sweat and keep your clothes clean, and the salt deodorant will kill any odor-causing bacteria while also relieving you of gross smelling old deodorant mixed with sweat smells in your shirts. Hanging your clothes up when you get home lets them air out sufficiently to where you should be able to get 2-3 wears out of them. Synthetic fibers don't allow your clothes to breathe so they will trap in the smell. My linen/cotton/silk shirts can go WAY longer without being washed than my polyester ones. The only way I can get more than one wear out of a synthetic top is if it's sleeveless.
Ever heard of lavilin?
Get her a [Thai Crystal] (http://www.amazon.com/Thai-Deodorants-Natural-Crystal-Deodorant/dp/B000S83JR0/ref=sr_1_2?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1335732061&sr=1-2) brand roll on, it's the exact same alum but in a convenient shape with a protective case.
I feel for you! I am a heavy sweater and go to lengths to make sure I don't notice a smell.
For underarms I use the clinical strength deodorant. Its pricey but works-anything else makes my underarms stinky.
For face/neck/groin I use an antiperspirant gel:
https://www.amazon.com/Neat-Antiperspirant-Facial-Perspiration-Ounces/dp/B00B5N1QFY/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1506459735&sr=8-2&keywords=face%2Bsweat%2Bblock&th=1
Also, for your head, keep a travel size dry shampoo on you. Spray it on a few times a day when you notice your head getting icky.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any specific questions on the products!
I had that issue, i started using this and no issues
2Toms ButtShield (Roll-On) - Provides 24 Hour Protection from Chafing and Skin Irritation - Waterproof and Sweatproof (1.5 Ounce) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004UMQKJ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_UvXQDb3W6GMBT
I use Carpe on my feet and wear sandals with straps on the side and in the back, like these or these. Depending on the temperature or activity my feet can still get really sweaty and I'll slide around, but I find that wearing sandals does tend to keep my feet cooler.
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.
deodorant
For exfoliator I get whatever is on sale and use that only on my pits.
I don't know what sorts of deodorants you've tried but I use the roll-on Crystal deodorant and LOVE IT.
Tbh I don't generally sweat a ton but in the summer in the South it does a great job of countering disgusting boob sweat, which is a major accomplishment.
It doesn't have a scent and even when I do end up sweating a decent amount, it doesn't smell like anything.
Try using ZeroSweat, it's a really strong anti perspirant that you apply once a week and it really works! Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K4I91RG/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_x3BvDbQ2AFG2Z
Iโve tried tons of them! Like went trough most of the WholeFoods shell. The only one that truly worked was primal paste, legit on par with non cruel ones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O59LG0A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_qqicAbAH6Q0H1
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
I swear by Mitchum Smart Solid "Clinical Performance"
Here's my recommendation
GamerGrip - Total Grip Solution - Stops Sweat on Hands for up to 4 Hours https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W1T7B1O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FI7nxbBA1H247
I use this for playing call of duty. It keeps your hands dry. I was having the same problem with the pencil and I have this a try. It works great.
Try Certain Dri http://www.amazon.com/Certain-Dri-Roll--Anti-Perspirant-Pack/dp/B001F0QX1E/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1464477580&sr=1-2&keywords=certain+dri I was sceptical at first but it completely eliminated sweating from the areas I applied it to after first application and typically lasts a week plus.
From Texas, so even this time of year I have some problems with heat causing sweatiness. I use Mitchum Smart Solid Clinical Performance antiperspirant. It works better than any other over the counter product I have tried. Get unscented so you don't clash scents with your cologne, it is designed so it doesn't leave the white stains on clothing (although I have noticed that it does leave little white spots very occasionally), and only apply one layer over your whole pit. It doesn't need to be just coated on like some people do. I keep an old towel in my bathroom so that if I put too much on I can just dab it off a bit. Only one warning, because it has so much going on it is a bit powerful and can cause an itchy rash if you over apply. Happened to me once or twice because I over applied it, itchiness went away in 20 or so minuets.
If you don't feel like going to a doctor to seek a cure, then try this because it really is a magic deodorant. Put it on at night before bed and right after your morning shower and it will work better too, I buy mine at CVS. Good stuff.
This stuff worked like magic for my pits, I've never had issues with back tho
Is it this one? Deodorant Stones Thai Crystal Mini Stick Deodorant 2 oz stick https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000S83JR0/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_Z6Rtxb2E7307W
I'm a big fan of Gold Bond's Friction Defense.
I had this problem - your feet just need deodorant. I use this: http://www.amazon.com/Deodorant-Stones-Crystal-Stick-stick/dp/B000S83JR0/ref=as_li_wdgt_js_ex?&camp=212361&linkCode=wsw&tag=wyjefasi-20&creative=380789
And never had a problem again. Just put it on every morning like you would your armpits and you're set.
The one I have is a rollerball form: CRYSTAL BODY DEODORANT Roll-On - Unscented (2.25 fl oz) - 3 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00028QFAY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2mQBDbZTQXZ1A
I love salt deodorant. I got this at CVS for $6, it lasts forever, works really well for me in stopping odor, doesn't feel gross, doesn't develop a smell.
Haven't used anything fro my face because it isn't an issue, but I googled some time a go for a solution for my sweaty hands and I came up on a lot of stuff some of it has mixed reviews on amazon so I'd recommend doing a little more research before you buy and maybe you'll find a better product, but there's this for your face.
And there are more products like this or this for hands.
Actually this might be what you're looking for, read the reviews and questions for more info.
There's this one I started using that basically is a crystal: Thai deodorant stone from Amazon:
Deodorant Stones of America: Thai Crystal Deodorant, 4.25 oz (Pack of 2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E0YN1W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_W8zyzb9VEQ82M
I don't want all that fake flowery or fruity scent in my pits anymore. Mind you, it isn't an anti-perspirant as I'm also not trying to prevent the body's natural waste elimination processes. Hope you find something you like and works for you.
this stuff alleges not to be, and it works great.
Zerosweat Antiperspirant is the only stuff I've found that actually stops me from sweating through my shirts in the summer.
I don't like scented deodorants. And I am also weary of aluminum in my pores. I use Salt Crystal stones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E0YN1W
https://www.amazon.com/2Toms-ButtShield-Roll-Chafe-Protection/dp/B004UMQKJ4/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1503009844&sr=8-1&keywords=butt%2Bshield&th=1
This works
I live in deep south Texas where temps are already in the triple digits before noon, with humidity over 70%. Its absolutely miserable about 8 months out of the year here, so I've had to come up with tricks to combat melting into a puddle.
I use Dress Shields with blazers when I wear a sleeveless top underneath or sweaters I don't want to dry clean every time. They kind of remind me of a..... panty liner. Just peel, stick, and throw away after. You can cut them to fit for shorter sleeves, or even just in half and stick them under the sleeve of a sleeveless top.
Also, this stuff literally prevents sweat. Like, completely dry under arms. I use it every 3rd night. I still use antiperspirant during the day, but it makes whatever I wear all the more effective.
Make sure read the active ingredients in whatever antiperspirant you're already using. If its under 18% Aluminium chlorohydrate or aluminium-zirconium tetrachlorohydrate, its probably not enough to do any good.
Mitchum is one of the best drugstore options with a higher active ingredient percentage.
Also, aerosol deodorant (like that Axe stuff for men) works really well for other areas, like boob sweat, or small of the back.
Has anyone tried Neat Feat 3B Face Saver Antiperspirant Gel? Is Aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex glycine 17.5% bad for you?
​
I tend to sweat a lot more than others, especially on my entire face and came across this product. Does anyone have any experience with this? Isn't aluminum bad for you, ie. anti-perspirant for your armpits because they have aluminum in it?

Neat Feat 3B Face Saver Antiperspirant Gel
This is the solution to your problem: ZeroSweat .
It worked for me, and I had literally the same problem. I still donโt understand why it was just the right arm though.
^ 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.
Gamer Grip is great, and sold by Scuf:
GamerGrip Total Grip Solution Stops Sweat On Hands for up To 4 Hours for all Sporting and Gaming Activities
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W1T7B1O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_T.nKDb8252PHJ
https://www.amazon.com/2Toms-ButtShield-Roll-Chafe-Protection/dp/B004UMQKJ4/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1503009844&sr=8-1&keywords=butt%2Bshield&th=1
Get him some Gamer Grip, that stuff is great and under $15! https://www.amazon.com/GamerGrip-Total-Solution-Stops-Sweat-Hands/dp/B00W1T7B1O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480978490&sr=8-1&keywords=gamer+grip. Under $10 on the scufgaming.com site, but maybe end up more than Amazon after shipping. BTW-If you ever do look into buying him a Scuf, I would lookup Cinch instead. I have both and Cinch was cheaper and they are arguably equal in which one is better. Spending that kind of cash though, either way, it would be better to let the cat out of the bag and let him choose the build customization, unless you know exactly how he likes to play.
Thanks! Any idea if you are fine running unscented anti-perspirant, like this?
Have you tried something like this: Perspi Guard Antiperspirant Treatment (UK)?
It's very effective. I used to sweat a lot in social situations (social anxiety), and using this helped with that. The hand is probably the easiest place to apply it to, as well!
Otherwise see a GP and mention how it's affecting your quality of life. They might have something even stronger to prescribe.
I have this problem too... sweat a lot (prolly genetics), though I am overweight(BMI over 30)
before losing weight, I had to use Certain Dri (get the Solid Version, not the roll-on one... solid works a lot better)... applied before sleeping, it works somewhat
I lost around 20 pounds in the past few months, perspire a lot less(but still more than other people)... maybe losing weight would help a little(doesn't hurt to try)... I'm still need to lose around 15 pounds more to hit a BMI of 25
been using this for years, it's fantastic. Looks like Walgreens sells it too.
Amazon has the 2-pack here https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Friction-Defense-Unscented/dp/B00YBNC9CE/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1522028121&sr=8-4
Prepare for chaffing in more places. Wet weather will slow down evaporation of sweat, so that will combine with the actual rain to keep your clothes pretty wet.
Consider at least throwing single use anti-chaffing cream of some kind in about all of your drop bags. Chaffing can really sneak up on you and bite you later in the race, or even just make post-race miserable when you jump in the shower and discover how raw you are.
Something like this at least- https://www.amazon.com/2Toms-SportShield-Blisters-Prevention-Towelettes/dp/B004453IH4
Unless it will be pouring, I wouldn't worry about extra shoes. And on top of that if it is raining that hard, you shoes will just get wet again in no time. I would focus more on extra socks and maybe some foot saver cream.
Just for example - https://www.amazon.com/Carpe-Antiperspirant-Dermatologist-Recommended-Solution-hyperhidrosis/dp/B019E8H5TC
http://www.amazon.com/Arm-Hammer-Anti-Perspirant-Deodorant-Invisible/dp/B001E76840/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1374616576&sr=8-3&keywords=arm+and+hammer+deodorant
http://www.amazon.com/Certain-Dri-Anti-Perspirant-Solid-1-7/dp/B002BMB1MG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1348289011&sr=8-3&keywords=certain+dri
Lavilin
We apply once every 3-5 days and it's been a pleasant experience. Doesn't stop sweat, just stops the smell; but I'm not a heavy sweater anyway.
Have you tried something similar to this?
I have am currently using a roll on (Right Guard) but it doesn't seem to dry in the time after my shower and before I have to leave for work by the time I get the station I'm rather sweaty (30 minute casual walk in not so hot English weather)
I may try the Molton brown though as I've heard it's good else where on the internet and was tempted last time I went to buy some.
you can get hand antiperspirant like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004803YDI/ref=s9_acsd_al_bw_c_x_1 but I have never used it so I can't say if it is effective, there seem to be mixed reviews.
EDIT: changed the link to one with more reviews
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!
I really like "primal pit paste" lavender scent. I've never had an issue with smell.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00O59LG0A/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1495767440&sr=8-2&keywords=pit+paste&dpPl=1&dpID=51egOPZI-BL&ref=plSrch
I've been doing OTF for over 2 years and have the same problem. I've asked a bunch of coaches to look at my form and they all say it's fine. I found the butt shield roll on to be a lifesaver. And on the days I forget it Aquafor is my saving grace. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004UMQKJ4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
​
Hereโs 7 day natural deodorant. On the condition that you bathe daily, though. It stops the bacteria that causes an oder from being able to grow. Expand your horizons.
I had the same issue with chafing and bruising around the tailbone. I would recommend Butt Shield for the chafing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004UMQKJ4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
I've heard several people mention GamerGrip. I can't vouch for it myself but it suppose to work well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00W1T7B1O/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1452002723&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=gamer+grip&dpPl=1&dpID=41bXMC7qyAL&ref=plSrch
Max-strength anti-perspirant. I haven't used it for this particular purpose, but it works all over the rest of my sweaty, sweaty body. Couple of hours lifting or a 10k run. It keeps me dry. So I've no reason to doubt it wouldn't work on your hands while gaming.
It's a tub, not a tube. I was trying to post a picture but my image search doesn't give me a link on my phone, so:
https://www.amazon.com/Lavilin-Underarm-Deodorant-Cream-12-5/dp/B0013OXEFU
It isn't nearly enough product to cause issues at airport security, and even if it was its closer to a solid than a liquid.
