Um deoderant? It helps stop sweating and if you're sweating alot especially since you live in a hot climate put it on several times a day!

Dear Embarresed, (which you shouldnt be)
Dove makes a deoderant thats for people like you. Its called Dove clinical protection and it reduces perspiration, which will eventually reduce it under your pits. I also used to have the same problem as you, and I started using Secret, and it really helps. Try looser clothing, tight clothing can make you sweat and it also clings to your pits, which makes the sweat even more noticable.

Mitchum has a roll-on that is pretty awesome too. Try the ladies first, but if its not so effective, try men's. That's what I use. I have a HORRIBLE sweat problem, but just in one armpit! I've don't lots of experimenting. The hoody can't really be helping you tho. Ditch it and find other ways. This might sound crazy, but if I'm going out or to work, I stick tissue under my arms (after I apply my deoderant, of course) and leave it there til I get to where I'm going. At least I'm keeping my clothes dry a bit longer. But the Mitchum works pretty well. Give it a try, and keep experimenting.. sometimes it takes a while to find the right combination of fixes. When you get older and start earning your own money, look into Botox. Botox injections under the arms can freeze the sweat glands for up to 6 months. Its what celebrities do before they hit the red carpet so they don't sweat through all those fancy dresses!

you need a clinical strength deodorant. They are more expensive than the regular kind, but really worth it. I tried secret and dove clinical strength and neither worked for me. The best one that I recommend is Dry Idea. Also, if you read the directions, most of them say to apply them before you go to sleep. It absorbs better because your body temperature stays relatively stable through the night.
