I have a problem with deodrants, if you start using them you need them more & more, I have never used a deodrant in my life & I am never sweaty under my arms & I never smell. Deodrants cause a lot of problems - I am mid-fourties & any of my school pals who sprayed deodrants liberally under their arms all got breast cancer, also, while we were at school, all of these people had a permanent yellow stain on their white uniform shirts.

To quell the problem, use talcum powder - think of it, talcum powder is bound to dry up any excess sweat (but safely). Steer clear of spray-on deodrants, if you need one use a roll on. My point is - the less you use these products, the less you need them.

well, I'm a guy, but Arm and Hammer deodorant/antiperspirant works great and it is odorless. And make sure you re using antiperspirant because that keeps you from sweating and makes you not smell bad, but deodorant just makes you not smell good (Like spray on isn't antiperspirant, you need stick deodorant)

Yeah, deoderant is good. Also, try to wear tanks or camis in the summer. The pores can open up and you won't sweat!

Deoderant will not get the sweating to stop. It will only make it not smell. However, maybe buy an antipersperant, and it will stop the sweating (Anit-persperation...get it?)

some ppl sweat more than others, one thing u can do is try switching deoderants and trying other kinds. one might work better. also, wear dark shirts more often and looser shirts to cover it up in the meantime. There is no real way to get rid of it.

Try like one of those roll on deodrants...they work really well for me...you don't sweat for like hours on end.. then as you feel you're starting to sweat again just roll some more on.
The roll on one i have is from the impulse brand...but you can get others :)

I think if you go to a doctor and tell them about your problem, they can either prescribe you extra-strength deodorant or a pill to control perspiration. In the meantime, invest in a nice loose hoodie and wear extra deodorant. In fact, use the kangaroo pocket on the front of your hoodie to carry a stick of deodorant around with to to apply surreptitiously between classes or wherever. ;-)

You may have to carry the deoderant with you at all times and periodically use it to keep dry.

well 1st of all carry the deoderant with you so there will be no body odor. but try to remove your underarm hiar when u haev mroe hair you tend to sweat more. Also look for seceret clinical streght it works better. There are some deoderants for people with excessive perspiration. You can ask a pharmacist for more options!

Hope this helps, Indian VolleyBall Lover

You can get prescription strength from your doctor, but they do have Secret clinical strength available in most stores now and that works pretty well. Deodorant should be put on at night, so try to shower before you go to bed rather than when you wake up. And definitely carry some in your purse. If you start to feel sweaty, you can go to the bathroom, wipe your pits with some paper towels (I advise doing this in a stall to avoid ridicule) and apply more deodorant.

Deodorant is to cover odor, get an antiperspirant, that prevents odor, and change around til you find what works for you, we're all different.

This is COMPLETELY normal, as you are just entering puberty. Your hormones are raging, and unfortunately that also means your sweat glands are secreting sweat. There's really nothing that could stop it, just mask it. If you were older and you developed a condition where you were sweating all the time, it is possible to actually get Botox in your underarm area to supress the secretatory actions of the sweat glands. But since you are only in 8th grade, you need to simple wear strong deoderant, shower often, and realize that, believeit or not, nearly everyone else your age is sweating just as much as you, and they are all probably just as subconscious about it. Try using secret clinical strength deoderant, and applying it a few times a day, even before you go to bed, and wear light, airy clothing that allows your skin to breath. If it is happening all the time, and is accompanied by feeling faint, light headed, or any other symptoms, see your doctor asap. Sweating can also be a reaction to anxiety, as well as some medications, such as anti-anxiety and anti-depressant meds. Hope this helps.
