Default Sweating under arms overall - solutions?

In the last 6 months or so, I sometimes sweat a lot, especially under my arms. It's quite clear as my shirt looks soaked.

I recently discovered that when I increase my cardio, water intake, and decrease caffeine, it stops or reduces greatly! No sweat marks!!

Not sure it's related though.

Was just wondering if anyone may have any feedback on how to reduce sweating (other than deodorants - they barely worked for me when I tried a bunch).

Thanks!!

Anna

some terms:
deodorant - for odor
antiperspirant- for perspiration/sweating

A deodorant isn't going to have an effect on perspiration. An antiperspirant would be the thing to try.

if you think this is more than just normal sweating, you could do a search on hyperhydrosis to see if it fits - and then seek professional help for that

Hmm... Thank you. I was just thinking that it's not a problem when I sweat it all out with reg cardio. I used to keep cardio to a min and am amazed on how great increasing water and cardio worked!! ;-)

Wonder if retaining too much h20 is what was causing it...??

I sweat a lot without this stuff. I put it on once a week, still using my regular anti-perspirant every day. It's not a deoderant, and daily anti-perspirants work better for me than plain deoderants.

Highly recommended. I know several forum members use the stuff. It's a miracle.

You can always get botox injections as well. 75 Units per armpit, paralyzes your eccrine (sweat) glands and voila, no sweating.

Downfalls: price and compensatory sweating elsewhere--feet, hands, butt. Not pretty. Also not permanent and needs to be repeated every 4-6 months, typically.

That's pretty cool. Maybe I'll save up and then botox 99% of my eccrine glands, leaving only a spot on the forehead. I'll be able to literally fire water from my head like a laser while exercising.

A head-mounted sweat laser. Aw yeah.

I use driclor:

http://www.ciao.co.uk/Reviews/Driclor__6267651

Available from high street stores like Boots. I used to sweat a lot. I'm not overweight, or unhealthy, although my t-shirts used to be soaked. I put this stuff on the night before, in the morning wash it off, and no more sweat!
