Sorry for the gross topic, but I've found this product which is so effective I thought I'd share about it, because I've suffered in silence for years and didn't know there was a solution!
I've always had a ton of underarm wetness even on temperate days with low activity, and it has really limited the choice of colors I can wear on my top half. It was the same when I was 25 and weighed 108 pounds. It's just the wetness that has been a problem - promise I always smell sweet, thanks to lavish applications of antiperspirant deodorant and of course daily showers and clean clothes. However, my usual underarm products didn't make a dent in the wetness, including products such as Mitchum and all the "clinical strength" antiperspirants. However, it's recently come to my attention that there are products for this problem.
Basically you need a product with aluminum chloride, and you apply the product to your underarms before bed. You wash it off in the morning and apply your usual antiperspirant deodorant. However, while you slept, the product formed a plug in your sweat glands which can't be washed off, and underarm sweating is drastically reduced or stopped. Sometimes you have to apply it for a few nights in a row to get started, and the plug lasts about a week (varies). The skin has to be completely dry and you can't have just shaved. Some people have skin reactions.
I chose a product from Amazon, "Certain Dri", which has 12% aluminium chloride. The next day, I wore a jacket on a warm day and rushed around doing chores and became hot. It was miraculous - where usually there would have been a pit stain like a map of the United States under each arm, there was barely anything at all. I am free.
Another product with aluminum chloride is "Odaban," and it has a lot more than "Certain Dri." There are others, too. On Amazon, wipes that do the same thing (bedtime application etc) are named Sweat Block and have thousands of overwhelmingly positive reviews.
I did some research and the products are perfectly safe - this is the same thing as prescription antiperspirants. Apparently your body has millions of sweat glands and it just re-directs the sweat elsewhere. I did notice today that my right palm was noticeably sweatier than normal, but I'm fine with that. You can wash or discreetly wipe your hands. This summer I'll be able to weat whatever tops I like, including pale blue!!
I've only been using this for two nights, and the first day after I wore a light top but used Certain Dri's normal antiperspirant in the morning, a different product from the night-time stuff, instead of my usual women's Mitchum. Today I used my Mitchum in the morning but wore a dark top. Tomorrow I'll wear a light top and use the Mitchum, so I can see if I need to use Certain Dri's morning product too. It's almost the same as the Mitchum, so I thought I could use the Mitchum in the morning. I wore a dark top today so couldn't judge it properly.
Anyway, it's so very exciting to have this embarrassing problem under control. Lots of people successfully use these products on their faces, hands, and feet!
