How do I get the smell of sweat out of clothes!

My tip is to use "Mitchum" stick deodorant. My boyfriend had terrible problems getting sweaty and stinky literally MINUTES after getting showered and as soon as I bought him the Mitchum all our problems disappeared!!! It isn't cheap but at least its the prevention of the sweat rather than the cure for sweaty clothes!!! :T

Not very OS but I did see a programme where they use botox for excessive sweating. It may be the answer if nothing else works?

Thanks for your response!

I notice boots online have them 3 for 2 atm.

Is there any other shops that supply these, so i can pop out and get one tomorrow (even boots shops themselves)

Thanks

My daughter (16) had the same problem and was refered for the Botox treatment. Her problem has dissappeared overnight. It is available on the NHS.

Also, try to wait after showering for your body to cool down before putting on deodorant. Have you noticed that if you put it on straight away you seem to sweat more?

Silly question i know but when you say bicarb do you mean bicarb of soda, the stuff you put in cooking?

Thanks

For excess sweat I would try "Odaban". My OH is a leg amputee and his stump sweats terribly, imagine wearing up to 5 terry towelling socks then a foam liner then a plastic socket, especially in the summer! When he's wearing his false leg, his stump socks get wet and the sleeve holding his leg on would slip, this means that his stump would move about rubbing in the socket, it would get very sore and he also suffered from awful blisters.

We tried just about everything going including Mitchum and (and spent a fortune) but nothing works, then someone on an amputee forum recommended Odaban, you apply it every day for a few days then just once a week and it's brilliant, my hubby has had no bother since. It's a product designed for excessive sweating and I think amputees found by chance that it works for them.

It is quite expensive £5.95 direct from the makers but that includes p&p. I asked in my local independant chemist, they didn't stock it but they very kindly order it in for us when we need it and it only costs us £4.95. The bottle lasts for ages, infact we're only on to our 2nd bottle and hubby has been using it for about a year! Best of all it's sold with a money-back guarantee if it doesn't work for you.

There are some great testimonials on the site and their customer care is second to none.
