Heavy prespiring from arm pits, cure?

I've always had pretty bad perspiring from my underarms even when others don't or when I don't perspire from anywhere else.

I'm looking for a good deodorant that will hopefully help alleviate this excess perspiration.

Currently I'm using Right Guard stealth Solid, it's the only deodorant I've found that when I put on my shirts hasn't left me with the nasty white smudges on my clothes.

Anyone have any suggestions on a good deodorant/antiperspirant that will maybe help me out?
 
You can actually go to the doctor and they can give you a prescription for a higher grade antiperspirant. I've used it before and it will help decrease the amount you sweat quite drastically.
 
I can relate to this.
However, I've got sensitive skin as well.
Sorta like the double whammy there.
I found mitchum did the best job at minimizing sweating, but I still have some redness from when I tried it (about a month ago).
I've always had good luck old spice red zone high performance solid.
On some shirts I get that nasty stain you're talking about.
It really is a buildup of the aluminum based compound that's the active ingredient in most OTC deodorants.
As far as I know, prescription products use the same ingredient (I checked the only one I know of, drysol).
 
I started using Gillette Clinical Strength before going to bed and then using another kind in the morning. The package says it will last throughout the next day even after a shower, but it feels strange to shower and then not put deadorant on so I do anyway.
 
Try shaving your armpits, then using a standard antiperspirant.
Works for me.
Not geigh BTW. LOL. Lots of athletes do this...

Huh? Shaving them may decrease direct temperature in that area from sheer insulation, but it's not going to decrease the number of sweat glands you have or their natural activity levels.
 
Shaving will reduce the smell as it gives the bacteria less surface area.
As far as sweating,shaving will allow the deodorant to get to the surface of the skin easier and not just cake up and get all gross on hair.
If you'd feel a little ginger beer shaving you can always just trim it down to a little less wolverine levels.

That sounds like it would be itchy as hell when it starts growing back tho.

Trimming works just fine and you won't end up itchy when it grows back. Like nismotigerwvu said, shaving/trimming allows the anti-perspirant to get to the skin easier. I've used Mitchum clear solid for a long time.

I use the bodygroom and never notice any itchiness.
 
I don't know if it's available in the USA but they should give the Nobel prize to the guy/gal that invented Axitrans. It's OTC and it works miracles. I used to have steamy armpits and it looked very unprofessional when I had to give presentations and it was seriously annoying in my private life. Slap on Axitrans (it's a roller stick) for 2 nights and you are free of sweaty armpits for 7 days.

 
I saw a news story about this on TV around 2-3 months ago, don't remember the specifics. There's a new treatment that's supposed to be effective. Scour the internet... Google is your friend.
 
Certain Dri

I used to sweat like a madman under the arms. This stuff shut it down.

I used to sit idle at a desk with sweat rolling down my sides. No exertion or anything. Kept ruining shirts with waxy deodorant buildup.

But 'hallelujah' someone on AT mentioned it and now I'm always dry as a bone and only apply it every three days. You only feel a slight itching for a couple minutes as it dries up.

It's off-the-shelf and commonly stocked in your local stores. It's unscented roll-on liquid BTW.
