Sweaty Armpits

JSB · Mar 2, 2005

Since no one really looks like they want to coment on this topic. I even feel a little strange discussing this, but here goes, have you looked into a deodorant with a good anti-perspirant. Maybe your buying a deodorant without it. My wife does that because she read anti-perspirant could lead to breast cancer since it's basically clogging the sweat gland in some form or fashion. My boss appears to have the same issue, except he doesn't try to hide it. Good Luck...

when I am stressed or nervous, my pits can get damn sweaty - even if I am just sitting and it doesnt matter what anti persp I used..............hmm, lets see today = dry pits

I had the sam problem konabumm when I worked at a doctors office. I started wearing knit polo type shirts instead of dress shirts. It seemed to fix the problem because the rings wouldn't show. Do not buy anti-persperant because it does clog pores and your body has them open for a reason. Well hope that helped.

2 things

1) a good antipersperant... try a few different ones, some work better than others.
2) spend the money on a good, moderately heavy, tight/fitted undershirt. Not the cheapy ones from Haynes or whatever, but a good one. Go to some trendy store and find a plain solid white t-shirt. Make sure the material is somewhat heavy so it can absorb the sweat, not your dress shirt. If it doesn't fit tight to your body (think Under Armour base layer shirts), then buy it one size too small. The last thing you want is a bulky tshirt under a nice dress shirt. If you get it fitted, it won't affect how your good clothes fit.

bwaahahahah!!!... sorry... I just keep picturing konabumm sitting at work with sweaty pits, sporting a woody from his Viagra...

pixelninja · Mar 2, 2005

Yeah, I have this problem too. I've tried numerous antiperspirants with mixed results. I recently switched to Mitchum clear gell and so far it works better than any others I've tried.

And I do what jacksonpt suggests. I always wear a fitted t-shirt under everything.

manziman · Mar 2, 2005

hmm...so, it's weird because I can feel my pits getting wet, and a little stinky and I don't really use deodorant, but my shirt doesn't get the rings. but, my girlfriend gets the rings even with anti-perspirant. so, I guess, it really depends on the person and maybe there's no hope Kona

You could always try asking your doctor...

yea, and the kids around here could do their own homework...

How about just wedging some ice cubes in your pits? Sure it *could* leave water stains, but at least the sweat issue will be taken care of.

Good idea. Hey, what about those frozen ice pack things that you put in coolers and such - wouldn't have to worry about them melting like you would ice cubes.

you can tell your wife that that is an urban legend about the deoderant and she can start wearing silks again!

You don't wear deoderant and you still have a girlfriend? That must be true love...

Scar tissue does not sweat so just give yourself 3rd degree burns to the armpits with a blowtorch or something.

-dustin · Mar 2, 2005

undershirts helped with that problem. i didn't get them bad, though, so i stuck with Jockey "under****s". that was in high school. like, if we'd be playing some music, and i was getting into it, my pits would get rather wet. i always thought that was odd. for some reason, i don't sweat as much now. often times i forget to wear anti-perpirant.

tonyhawk · Mar 2, 2005

Do you drink a lot of coffee or other caffienated beverages? If so, maybe cutting back a bit might help.

jacksonpt · Mar 2, 2005

Lay off the viagra???

There are "dress shields" in the lower right that you can put in shirts.

Pau11y · Mar 2, 2005

Hum.. I don't use anti-persp or deodorant and dress in super loose shirts. Don't seem to have any issues from my pits. Maybe I'm lucky.
Do you guys think diet may have a big part to this?

Contrary to marketing's opinion, you won't necessarily stink if you don't use deodorant.

Even better, you might not smell like a chemical factory in rut.

dude, i have the same problem. i'll sweat in a freezer....i have shirts that are "riding only" shirts because the pits are either stained or hard when they come out of the wash. its so bad that i can feel the sweat running down my side if i'm sitting around the house w/out a shirt on. i know ladies...awesome mental picture isn't it?

i have yet to find a cure. my wife had a similar problem and her dr. prescribed some sort of pre-deodorant stuff. she said it burned like crazy but that it worked.

i like to think that i just have so much manliness that it's overflowing and leaking out :thumb:

-dustin · Mar 2, 2005

my girlfriend used to rx deodorant stuff. she hated it. it, too, worked, but burned like hell.

Honeywell · Mar 2, 2005

Lucky for me I don't get sweaty pits, and when I do sweat I don't wreak.

I know you've said you tried lots of anti-perspirants but have tried Old Spice Red Zone? If that doesn't stop your pits from sweating I don't know what will. Just a little bit of that stuff and I couldn't wash it off for a couple days.

sweaty pits woody and staring at his coworkers undies.

mack · Mar 2, 2005

If i forget to wear deodorant for one day, Im a stink fest. So I keep a stick of it in my backpack...for those moments in math class when i realize that i forgot to put it on. :thumb:

Great thread! Only on the internet can you share embarrassing hygene stories and tips with complete and utter strangers... :thumb:

Try Crystal Stick. Available at your local pharmacy over the counter. It's 100% natural mineral salts with no perfumes or chemicals. Comes in a little purple roll-on thingy. Simply wet the top and roll it on. Mine was more of an odor issue, but since I started using the Crystal Stick a couple months ago the sweat and odor are practically non-existant. It also leaves no residue and washes off easily. Best of all, this it's guaranteed to last a year. My father in-law turned me onto it. He's been using it for some time and swears by it.

they even have a website: www.thecrystal.com

good luck

downhillzeypher · Mar 2, 2005

Try women's deoderant. I used to sweat like crazy with old spice, but my freind told be to try secret and god... night and day difference. Sure you might smell a lil feminine, but w/e right?

manimal · Mar 2, 2005

oh yeah....since everyone is wondering

no, shaving your armpits won't help either :eek:

itch....itch..... :help:

I just shaved my head... and the lowers. For some reason my head doesnt itch, but south of the border is driving me nuts. :nope:

Cooter Brown · Mar 2, 2005

I used to have that problem really bad, and then I started not worrying so much about schit and my stress level went down and that helped, on the other hand, my ass crack sweats like a mofo, not so bad anymore like with the armpit thing, but..........

Yup. Other than going into work from a bike ride, I'm just peachy. Even then it's not very noticable. But if you pull my finger, I'll give you something else to think about

i don't get it?

mitchum has to be the best stuff out there. i only use it every couple days because the stuff works so damn well. still get a little pit sweat sometimes, but not nearly as much as i used to.
undershirts are key to eliminating pitstains.

chicodude · Mar 3, 2005

I don't sweat that much, so no pit stains for me.

I find it wierd that when I am exercising hard, I don't sweat at all, but when I stop for a few minutes, it looks like someone hit me with a hose
