    I have, both spray and the stick (which just felt cacky and nasty too!) but I'm afraid that did nothing for me, just call me tough pits!

    I would recommend you give the roll on a try can't fault it.

    I use Driclor. I only put it on for a few days overnight and then use Sure during the day. I won't need to use it again for a few months. It's available from behind the counter in most chemists or Google it.

    used to find soft and gentle was the only one that worked for me, then they stopped making it and now Dove seems to be the only one that works. I found that mitchum and Driclor sting!!!

    The best long term solution for extreme wetness is Botox - ouch.

    A good temporary fix is a half and half mixture of cornflour and bicarb. You can use this as well as anti-perspirant.

    A trick often employed by Hollywood stars, models etc is to lightly tack (sew) panty-liners (trimmed to shape) into your clothes to soak up the moisture. It also stops staining and damage to fabric. You can buy dress shields expressly for this purpose - you'll need to go to a good haberdashers - John Lewis. Some haberdashery type market stalls also sell them.

    If you have excessive wetness - enough thats not only showing through your clothes but is actually staining your clothes - get yourself off to the GP

    Im having hot flushes and work in a hot kitchen for 10 hour shifts and find that Dove works for me. I may not be 100% dry but I still smell pretty fresh at the end of a shift - over the smell of eau de fat fryer :)

    i used to like mitchum, but have recently discovered the garnier one which i'm growing to prefer. if i'm going through a really bad patch a night or two of using driclore clears me up (it stings, but it's worth the pain as the difference in how whiffy you are is noticable).

    Recently Ive started using one from poundland - really big spray can and it seems to work pretty well I think its just called XXXDry in a pink can. Other than that I found the other best ones are Mitchum roll on and also Vaseline 24hr dry pro derma spray

    The Nivea pearl one works well for me and the fragrance isn't very strong either, you can't smell it through the day.

    I tried the Garnier in the green can too, but I could smell that one throughout the day.

    I had a quick squirt of Naturel after my workout today as that's what I happened to find in the bottom of my bag, that didn't work, I got damp within an hour or so.

    Biotherm Homme stick deo works for me. It's not fragranced and I can get pretty hot and sweaty as part of my job (I'm am electrician). It's not cheap though - around £12
