Embarrassing Sweat



Recommended Posts

TMI: I've struggled with this a while but it occurred to me I can ask for imput here. When I am active (at work, the gym) I sweat so bad in my groin, underwear gets wet and it smells (duh, it's sweat lol!) I've tried pads which helps a little but doesn't cover the whole areas I sweat! I use powder but it only freshens doesn't stop the sweating, and besides, I don't carry it around with me! So my question is, for anyone else who may deal with this, do you have any suggestions short of changing my underwear 5 times a day (haha)?!

I am so glad you posted this! I have the same problem. Not fun. It's so Embarrasing! Especially this summer. Taking my son to the park my shirt in the back is drenched. I go to the bathroom and my underwear is soaked. I have no idea what to do but once the weight falls off I am sure it will get better.

Try some unscented deodorant on your inner thighs. I started doing this this summer when I started wearing a lot of skirts; it helps with the sweat & give a little glide so my thighs don't rub together so much!

I assume you are talking about a stick deodorant :) I have actually tried spray deodorant (while covering the lady bits heehee) with only mild success, but I'll try a stick.

I honestly didn't think I was going to get any response since a few days had gone by, so thank you both! I was starting to feel a little weird for posting something so gross haha!

LOL, I'm soaking wet all the time. I get in my car and put a/c on full blast to try and dry myself up before going into store, but hey I live in Florida! The humidity is a killer!

Go to freshballs.com

This is an all natural products that keeps you fresh & dry all day. I have hyper hydrosis (sp?) and the stuff worked amazing. My husband, teenage son and tween daughter all use it somewhere on their bodies. We all wore it as Busch Garden in August & feltretty good. They also started marketing to women, babies & feet. :) With names like, Fresh baby's bottom, fresh feet & Fresh Breasts!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
