First World Problems: Sweaty Pits
After I grab my cup of coffee and sit down at my computer, I grind away at e-mails. Before I know it I'm sweating my pits off in my favorite Brooks Bros and I have a meeting in 15 mins. While at the meeting, if I have to talk, I awkwardly try to avoid showing everyone my under arms and I keep thinking about how I'm ruining another shirt.
I'm not THAT GUY, who spews water falls of arm pit sweat, yet I'm still conscious about it. I realize that caffeine and stress are the main contributors to it, but it sucks being so uncomfortable.
Then, later in the day I'm fine.
Anyone have any tips/stories?
Should I set up two desk fans aim at my pits? Or should I just be sweaty and proud?

Mitchum has the highest
Mitchum has the highest portion of the active antiperspirant ingredient available without a prescription and is unscented so you don't smell like a college freshman drowning in Axe bodyspray. Boom. Done. If you can sweat through that stuff, a) put more of it on and b) if a) fails, see a doctor because you have a serious, medical-grade sweating problem.

Go to a dermatologist. My father had the same problem (I apparently talk to him too much for this convo to come up). He said how he was embarrassed throughout his childhood, and it was unbearable once he started work in NYC. He went to the dermatologist, the dude did like some injection thing once and now its not a problem at all.

I think the shot he's referring to is Botox, I believe it it paralyzes the sweat glands just as well as old women's faces.

Dude, I have the same problem. I wear undershirts, it definitely decreases the amount of visible sweat on my button ups, but my god do my tshirts get destroyed ha. Sweat still does show up though. My glands blow, can't wear too much during winter or my pits will cry. I should see a dermatologist, but I don't have 900 for that stuff.

medical anti-perspirant deodorant says to put it on at night, it's because it clogs the pores when they're not as active as during the day

Coincidence this get posted
Coincidence this get posted today when I went to a seminar this morning on Money laundering and the guy giving the seminar had on one of those two color shirts, all blue with white collors. He was sweating perfusely to the point where it looked like a print out of lake Michigan under his armpits.

He beat me to it. Don't get Botox. Undershirts help, fans don't. Replacing coffee with water helps some too. Trimming your pits helps, but the #1 best thing you can do is buy Certain Dri. Stuff works!

It is a botox injection into your armpit. It sounds weird, but I have had friends get it and it works. Some of them get it once or twice a year, and I think insurance will actually cover it if you have your doctor say you sweat profusely for no reason.

I can't really help you with this problem (sounds like a horrible thing to have to deal with), but I have to ask, is it an issue of you feeling hot? Or are you constantly sweating even when the temperature is low.
Maybe try wearing clothes (shirts, etc...) that have no synthetic materials, i.e. 100% cotton, etc... Also, make sure your suits are all wool and such.

Yes. This is awesome. I too could sweat through everything. As soon as I would start sweating I couldn't stop thinking about it and then the floodgates would open. After the Mitchum, under shirts, and cold showers all fail you have to bite the bullet and get the script form the doc. They gave me a steroid cream as well as some Rx rollerball deodorant. I felt like a freak-show putting it on, but a freak show with dry pits. Don't shave your arm pits either bro.

I have the same problem, and yes, it occurs even when the temperature is low.
Dude you probably have
Dude you probably have something called hyperhidrosis. It is when your sweat glands are very sensitive to nervous stimuli (could be just normal brain activity too), so you end up sweating a lot. There are two main things you can do that will change your life. I suffered with hand sweat and I understand your frustration.
1. Botox injections every 6 months since botox will numb your nerves and your glands wont react by excessively sweating
2. ETS-C Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS-C).Clamping the nerves of the armpit shut, as opposed to completely severing the nerves (old school way). The advantage to ETS-C is it is potentially reversible should that be necessary. Straight ETS surgery cannot be undone. ETS-C is performed using general anesthesia and the patient can normally go back to regular activity within 48 hours of surgery.

+1 For Certain Dri Mitchum
+1 For Certain Dri
Mitchum did nothing for me and neither did botox, after a few days I was sweating bullets through that shit.
I tried out Certain Dri, putting it on before bed. Burns the shit out of your armpit after applying. Very discomforting while trying to pass out but let me tell ya....I dont sweat a drop for a good week after, even during the summer.
Its legit and its the only solution I have found that works consistently.
Its weird though I never had a sweating problem growing up until a few years ago, after starting to drink coffee everyday...
