Today, I realised I sweat so much that I won't be able to go without sticking super pads with wings to my shirt underarms everyday. It makes supermarket trips interesting. Especially as a man. FML

Hey, it's alright. They probably think you're getting it for a girlfriend or wife anyways.

I started using medicine for the same problem a few years ago and it doesn't even happen to me now. It's called Certain Dri

I made an account JUST to comment on this. go see a GP as it sounds like you have hyperhidrosis like I do. they can get you a referral to see a dermatologist who can prescribe botox (botox IS subsidied by medicare so you get a fair bit back) too much effort? go to any chemist and get driclor. it burns like all hell and it's what you use as a last resort before botox- thankfully you don't need a script for it.

There's this stuff you can buy, Dry-sol, that really helps with that. An ex used to sweat terribly, and this helped him a lot. Recently, I mentioned it to another friend of mine, he bought it and just a couple weeks ago told me how amazing it is to not be sweating through all of his shirts all the time.

You deserve the strange looks if you are wearing a tanktop; otherwise just pretend you are buying them for your wife.

There's a product called sweater guards that you can buy online instead of getting maxi pads at the store. Good luck!

Maybe see a doctor? I'm sure there have been others with the same problem! Hope you're okay x

if it makes you feel any better alot of celebrities do this! :)

FYL for being so sweaty OP, but that's actually quite a good idea. i think i might give the little panty liners a try! On another note, Men really need to stop being embarrassed about buying this type of thing in public. I'm getting tired of hearing about it. Women buy condoms all the time (especially the jumbo economy ones because obviously they are a better deal!) and everyone can assume what we're doing with them, but who gives a shit?

I had this really bad for a few years, and now its intermittent or doesn't happen at all for months. It's called hyperhydrosis and it's just one of those things you have to get used to. Use roll-on antiperspirants before bed, so they're fully dried by the morning. It should eventually pass but it still sucks, I ruined plenty of shirts because of it.
