I know a girl in my school who sweats alot. she keeps baby wipes, deodorent and baby powder in her gym locker. if she sweats to much she cleans herself up. no one says anything bad about her hygiene practices because we all use her stuff and we rather see her do all that stuff then smell her!

You have hyperhydrosis (excess work of the sweat glands). You can order online Dri-sol. It's 13 dollars for a 3 month supply.

This was once a big problem for me also, so I know how you feel; I've been there, and it's not good. I reccommend using an antiperspirant deodorant [such as Suave], followed by regular baby powder. The antiperspirant helps to reduce sweating, or at least is said to, but in our case... never does. Then the baby powder will close the pores of your under arm -- more or less trapping the sweat in, so to speak. Honestly, this almost ALWAYS works for me, but there *ARE* days when it's simply not good enough, and that can be a pain in the butt, so I usually make a point of carrying some sort of jacket. Hearing that, there's this product people are always talking about on this site [but I believe that's from "Monkey See, Monkey Do"], but it's even advertised on television. It's called CertainDri. Now, they say it can be purchased at Wal-greens, RiteAid, CVS, and Walmart, however, EVERY SINGLE TIME I've been to the store looking for it, I've never seen it on the shelves. Naturally, this leads me to ask an employee where I can find it, and they *always* tell me they've NEVER heard of it, and they do not carry the product... which just leaves you speechless and with a feeling of, 'what now?' If the problem persists, perhaps you should consult a physician, who can supply you with proper medication. Also, he can give you shots that kind of close up your pores, so sweating never really happens again. I'm not shore if that's an option for you, but I recommend asking him for more information. But whatever you decide to do, goodluck from someone who knows EXACTLY what you're going through!!

Have you tried using an anti-perspirant, such as Arrid Extra Dry? It works great and it will help keep your arm pits dry. There's also just an anti-perspirant that you can purchase at Walgreen's, CVS, and such, known as Certain Dri. It's one of the strongest anti-perspirants that you can purchase over-the-counter or online at drugstore.com, and it's under $10, and it's worth the price. Applying baby powder, after putting on your deoderant, will help also. If your sweating problem persists, consult a doctor and they can provide you with more information.
