Well for years I've been trying out different deoderants and antiperspirants but none works on me. I even have CERTAIN DRI which closes the pores on your armpits but even that doesn't work and I put a lot on!

I don't even raise my arms at all and it's really hard for me. Only from my elbow and down, that's all.

So Yeah..my hair is always in a pony tail so can you imagine how weird that looks like when i have to keep tying up my hair? Drinking water? Raising my arms up to excercise? Looks like I'm crippled or handicaped, one of my friends said.

I dont' know what to do! (Indeed)

I'm kind of a sweaty person myself, as is my sister. I actually know so many people who have perspiration issues that it almost seems silly now that we're all so self-conscious about it. But I understand why you are of course, I was too.
One problem with your Certain Dri use might be that applying too much can actually make you sweat more. If it says to appply a "thin layer" then you should try only maybe 2-3 strokes of the Certain Dri and no more. Try it on a day when you're wearing a black shirt, so the sweat won't be noticeable if it doesn't help.

Also, the suggestion to see your doctor is always a good idea. Especially since using too much anti-perspirant can be bad for your health. Your doctor can let you know what the best and safest option is for you to try.

Try to remember that everyone sweats, and most people, sweat A LOT. Even when they aren't being active. It's not something you should feel horribly ashamed of. If anyone gives you a hard time, you can just say "I can see you're sweating too." And then that person will probably feel like a jerk, because they are. Because making fun of people is not nice.


5 thanks! (Yarr)
