hi im 16 and i also sweat alot under my arms. i m the only one of the girls i know who does. also i did hav this great d.o. that worked for bout 2 months (mitchum) but then it quite..idk wat to do
hiya
i am 15 and i tend to get very sweaty too. but i have actually found a type of antiperspirant that works! (at least for me).
its called dricolor and after using it every two days for around a week you reduce the applications to around once a week then once a month.
It is my saviour and as it is a roll on can be applied practially anywhere. but do read the instructions as i am sure there are some places it shouldnt be put…
the only dow side is it is a bit expensive, but can be found in most pharmacies
hope this helps u as much as it has me!

i am 17 and i sweat loads on my underarms and even when I am not doing anything I will sweat loads. what is there i can do?
Hey guuuys!!
Anydrol Forte is an AMAZING antiperspirant!
I only need to use it once a week for it to be affective for me so is definitely worth a shot.
You can get it over the counter in pharmacies! its about £7 i think but its worth the cost and is long lasting!

I'm 14
And i think i sweat too much
It doesn't always smell, but i'm always sweatin, and i'm always concoius of sweat marks. There are some clothes I can't wear because of the marks the sweat makes on them. When i exercise, like at school, i seem to be the only girl who gets sweat marks on my back, which is jus embarrasing. I can't find an anti-persperant that will work for me. Any advice? And also, what can I do about sweating on my back?
Hey
I am 16 and i sweat loads underarms and even when I am not doing anything I will sweat. what can I do?
