dabuffbills Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'm a pretty big guy and i've always had problems with sweating. Even now in the winter with temps in the teens, i still find myself sweating when i wear a coat outside. When i get inside, everyone else is cold, but i already have pit-stains and i feel like i ran a marathon because i can sweat by just sitting in place. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem or if anyone has any solutions thanks for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabuffbills Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Mitchum i've experimented with different deoderants, but haven't found the perfect one yet. maybe i'll just keep trying till i find one that works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckB Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Mitchum That's the one but it didn't work for me.....they also have a natural one made from something that I can't think of right now (I know that doesn't help) but that one didn't work for me either. And the problem seemed worse for me in colder weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egret Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 If you're still sweating after this one, go see a doctor for some prescription stuff. I switched to spray on deodorant awhile back. Works much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untateve Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 right pit is probably worse because you are right handed--you do more with your right hand = more sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your analytical mind usually serves you well and that theory is a very good one but I had the problem even when I was doing nothing and the right was always the culprit.

cliaz Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 it's just one of those things in life. For years and years I suffered with a freaky condition where my legs twitched at night and kept me up. Then I find out there really is a condition called RLS (restless Legg Syndrome). Maybe there is something like that out there for one arm pit running like a river. Google it and check it out or ask your Dr. about it. Believe me i was shocked to find out my problem was a real thing and not just some wiring done wrong in my body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I do is always buy the white deodorant, not the clear or gel stuff. Degree works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem or if anyone has any solutions thanks for your time what's the matter... you don't dig chicks? For women, nothing's like the smell of men's sweatPOSTED: 8:33 p.m. EST, February 8, 2007 WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- For women, apparently there's nothing like the smell of a man's sweat. Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley said women who sniffed a chemical found in male sweat experienced elevated levels of an important hormone, along with higher sexual arousal, faster heart rate and other effects. They said the study, published this week in the Journal of Neuroscience, represents the first direct evidence that people secrete a scent that influences the hormones of the opposite sex. The study focused on androstadienone, considered a male chemical signal. Previous research had established that a whiff of it affected women's mood, sexual and physiological arousal and brain activation. Its impact on hormones was less clear. A derivative of testosterone, it is found in male sweat as well as in saliva and semen. It smells somewhat musky. "It really tells us that a lot of things can be triggered by smelling sweat," Claire Wyart, who led the study, said in an interview on Wednesday. The researchers measured levels of the hormone cortisol in the saliva of 48 female undergraduates at Berkeley, average age of about 21, after the women took 20 sniffs from a jar of androstadienone. Cortisol is secreted by the body to help maintain proper arousal and sense of well-being, respond to stress and other functions. Cortisol levels in the women who smelled androstadienone shot up within roughly 15 minutes and stayed elevated for up to an hour. Consistent with previous research, the women also reported improved mood, higher sexual arousal, and had increased blood pressure, heart rate and breathing. Yeast, not so much For comparison's sake, women also smelled baking yeast, which did not trigger the same effects. This was the first time that smelling a specific chemical secreted by people was shown to affect hormonal levels, the researchers said. The women had no skin contact with androstadienone. The researchers used only heterosexual women in the study out of concern that homosexual women may respond differently to this male chemical. Wyart said while this marked the first time a specific component of male sweat was demonstrated to influence women's hormones, other components of sweat may do similar things. The study did not determine whether the increase in cortisol levels triggered mood or arousal changes or whether those changes themselves caused the cortisol elevation. The researchers also said their findings suggest a better way to stimulate cortisol levels in patients who need it, such as those with Addison's disease. Instead of giving cortisol in pill form, which has side effects such as peptic ulcers, osteoporosis, weight gain and mood disorders, smelling a chemical like androstadienone could be used to affect cortisol levels, they suggested.

Footballjoe Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I sweat a lot in my sleep. I think its called "Night Sweats". I wake up and sometimes it feels like I am laying in an ocean. Its been like that for years. It does not happen every night but on a regular basis. I am just a "normal" sweater during the day, sorry I can't help.
