Today, I've tried literally every possible brand of antiperspirant deodorant available to me in my area. I went to the bathroom to discover I'd pitted out my favorite shirt. It's mild weather, I have done nothing active, and I'm not stressed. My body just loves to make me sweat. FML
Collection
Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I was on my way to a relatively important interview when I realized that I'd forgotten to put on antiperspirant. Once seated, I was so nervous that I started sweating profusely under my light blue shirt, and by the end of the whole ordeal I had huge sweat stains under my armpits, down to my elbows. FML
Today, I had to use antiperspirant deodorant under my breasts. FML

Today, it's so insanely hot that no matter how often I shower or use deodorant the smell of my armpits makes me feel physically sick. FML
Today, my stress sweat overpowered my prescription strength deodorant 45 minutes into an 8-hour shift. I don't know who is more miserable, me or my coworkers. FML
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
Today, I sprayed hair spray under my arms instead of anti-perspirant. I didn't realize it until I went to put my shirt on and couldn't raise my arms. FML
Today, I was apparently tired enough to spray silly string under my armpits rather than deodorant. FML
Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Today, my natural body odor has gotten so bad that despite wearing 20 swipes of men’s deodorant under each armpit and taking three showers a day with an entire bottle of body wash, I still smell like a cross between onions and hot garbage. I’m a woman. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Have a doctor check you for hyperhydrosis. Usually when nothing helps stop the sweat, it's a sign of a medical situation.

That can be a sign of something more. Maybe you should go to the doctor to get it checked out.

As others have said, it sounds like hyperhydrosis. See a doctor about this.

I feel your pain OP, i went through school always having to wear a jacket because of this. After trying just about everything with no luck I found Certain Dri (liquid, not the stick). I use it just as directed every night and now I don't have to worry about walking around with huge pitt stains.

Are you taking any medication? It could be that. I thought I had hyperhidrosis but it was actually a medication I was taking that caused me to sweat so much. If you are taking any meds research them. Also try Milk Thistle Seed Extract or Liquid Chlorophyll. If you do suspect Hyperhidrosis and not taking meds it's best to see a dermatologist for their diagnosis and prescription deodorant such as Drysol.

Don't worry OP. Sometimes people just naturally sweat more.

I have the same problem. use a product called 'no sweat' I got it on Amazon and it's lasted me over a year. sweating is greatly reduced.

I have the same problem. I just bring an extra shirt to change into halfway through the day if it's bad enough
