Sweating through anything
by blues_buddy, Jan 20, 2008 02:17AM
I sweat an awful lot and I'm in my teens. You have no idea how embarassing it is when it happens all the time during school. I try to hide it but I can't. My mom says that it's just puberty....but none of the girls I know sweat as much as me. I could be sitting down and I have pit stains. The even weirder part is that I'm not overweight I'm pretty much the lightest girl I know. (I heard that it's normal to sweat a lot if you happen to be overweight) I have tried it all from prescription to over the counter stuff. Nothing has worked. I've used every womens deodorant I could get my hands on and I have even tried most mens deodorants and they didn't do anything for me. I need help. Does anyone know anything that could help me?

I had the same problem in school. The best thing for me was stick with a rx. deoderant and wear clothes that leave your underarms as loosly covered as possible. It gets harder during winter months when you have to be covered. It really is something that comes along with puberty for many people. I outgrew it for the most part. Some people just sweat more than others. A lot of times the deoderants don't work if you only try them for a week or two. Find one you like and try it for at least 6 weeks before you decide to switch again. And just an idea, keep an extra shirt in your locker so that if you do get too sweaty you can just change. (and if anyone asks you can say you spilled something on it.) It can be very embarrassing, I know, but you'll get through it.
