can't get my armpits dry - Page 4

Sorry to drudge up an old thread but I have some info that I thought might be useful to those, who, like me have severe hyperhydrosis. I tried a few of the products mentioned in this thread along with certain-dri to no avail. I then got a script for Drysol and could not believe the results. I went from sweating up a shirt in 10 min during the winter to not sweating all day even when i exert myself.

Truly incredible stuff for heavy sweaters like me. I'm trying it on my hands now to see if it works as well for other applications

Get Maxim Anti Persperant. Been using it since Sept. and you don't need a subscription. Just order it offline for 13 bucks and it's there in a few days. Each bottle lasts a few months. I've had this one since like Nov.

I ordered and received my Odaban, just used it for the first time last night so we'll see if it works. I'm using it on my face which most of the products mentioned here aren't suitable for. Once the summer gets here I'll probably need this and the Propantheline, but hopefully not.

Look up Drysol on the web, its this stuff you put on at night for 3 nights in a row and you will not sweat for like 6 months. I had the same problem and i used it and its works wonders. You can get it from your doctor or order in online for alot cheaper

So here's my question for guys who have successfully used Drysol/Odaban:

Do you use any kind of deoderant as well during the day just in case a bit of bad odor occurs? Or do you just put on the odaban/drysol at nights and leave it at that?

Just seems hard for me to imagine not putting on any kind of deoderant/antiperspirant on a daily basis. I would feel nervous that the drysol/odaban wouldn't work properly and I would be walking around sweating and stinking the next day.

Yudi, with Drysol you do not use deodorant or AP. I was a little nervous going out without it the first few days, but with drysol you literally dont sweat a drop so there is nothing to worry about.

Wow, that is unbelievable. I'm gonna try it out but I will be nervous as hell the first few days.

And then after a while you only need to apply it once or twice a week?

This stuff sounds too good to be true.

Thanks very much for the reply btw.

I use Odaban once a week or every other week. However, I still use deoderant. Just because you aren't sweating doesn't meen you don't start to get a little ripe during the day. Don't, however, go with an anti-perspirant, a regular deoderant is enough.

My sister is a doctor of pharmacy and has a sweat problem herself. Her personal experience with certain dri is that it works for a while, but after a while, it stops flat out. I had sort of a similar problem. Botox and gland removal are really NOT options because you dont sweat at all, and if you can't sweat from your pits, you might sweat more from other places. I'm sure you don't want to sweat from your back, or your face more than your pits. Right now, simple baby powder and a anti-persiperant deodarant works for me, but for others, I would recommend Certain Dri or something on the same level.

With drysol you get the same effect; you dont sweat at all wherever you apply it. Consider though that your body is 2000+ square inches of skin, 14 of which are your underarms, there is more than ample opportunity to excrete sweat elsewhere. Common sense but dont assume that if you use these products you will start sweating profusely elsewhere in specific.

IIRC, not only does Drysol require a doctors subscription, friends who've used it said it burned like hell.

It did. It was the first product I tried. Then I found Maxim, which worked until they reformulated it. Then it didn't work so well. I now use Odaban, which is great.

I use Maxim right now and have been since like August of last year and it's worked wonders.
