    I tried Mitchum but it didn't work for me. I still sweated but the sweat I had instead of being water like (I was in a gym) became a horrible gel like sticky mess. I had to cut my workout and take a shower.


    I use the Dove or Sure Maximum protection. You apply it at night and each night and it works to stop all sweating in that area. It works for me anyway

    The Dove and Mitchum products both work for me.

    Mitchum all the way. I suffer from Hyperhidrosis (aka excessive sweating) and tried everything. Even tried the strong ones you put on at night time and they work brilliantly but you then have loss of sleep because it's like someone has put hot flames under your armpits whilst whipping you. My poor armpits have never been the same since using it for a couple months. Extremely dry and sensitive. Mitchum doesn't keep me totally dry if am sweating extremely but 90% of the time it does just doing day to day activities.

    If it's the smell rather than just sweating that's bothering you I suggest using a tea tree oil wash before your normal showergel. It really helps elimate any odours which other shower gels don't and it's known for killing bacteria. Just seems to keep my boyfriend smelling fresher for longer anyway.
