On a personal hygeine note...I sweat A LOT and I have ruined a bunch of new summer clothes (M)

does switching to just a deodorant without the antipersperant help eliminate the pit stains? I just wore a beautiful blue shirt that will now have to go in the trash because of the pit stains. Any suggestions? I think I am going to lose my mind!

There is a great antipersperant called 'Certain Dri' that I just started testing out , because I was concerned about this for my July wedding.

Some of the girls on BHB had posted about it. Its prescription strenght, but you can buy it at Duane Reade, CVS, etc.

You use it at night before going to bed, and I'm telling ya it WORKS! It shuts down the sweat glands or something like that , and even these past bunch of hot days I've been perfectly 'dry'

Certain Dri is aluminum chloride -- there are a few other brands of it but it works for three days. You can also use on hands and feet but don't overuse or it can irritate the skin. You can also get Botox injections which works great but is very expensive.

I think you can also get dress sheilds that will help to protect your tops.

antiperspirant is the ingredient that KEEPS you from sweating while deodarant makes you smell good.

I have this problem with my feet and shoes....my sandals always seem to smell after a few wearings so I end up washing my flip flops I've yet to find a solution!

Certain Dri is the best!!! I had a problem with sweating especially when I wore oxford shirts. So not attractive! I had a Rx antiperspirant but Certain Dri works just as well. Also, to get out those stains, try using white vinegar.

Certain Dri made me VERY itchy....I scratched all night long.

Before you use it, apply it to a small part of your skin to make sure you wont have a reaction.

I have been using Mitchum roll on for years and there are no stains. I swear by that deodrant.
Go to Babies R Us or Bye Bye baby and get the Mothers little Miracle stain remover stuff. It is in a large plastic squeeze container , it is wonderful stuff, it should work.
