Like other Axillary Hyperhidrosis sufferers, the embarrassment of excessive armpit sweating reduces your confidence to a miserable level. Whilst my natural character may be confident and outgoing, when approaching social engagements with soaking wet armpits, shame takes over, controlling my body language and making me look like someone who does not want to engage.
I do not want my sweat to pass onto someone else, so I end up looking stand-offish whilst others greet with a hug. Like other sufferers, I have been known to keep my sweater or jacket on, simply to shield my armpit sweat, but making me uncomfortably hot as a result.
On visiting my doctor, he told me that there are millions of people out there with the same problem (apparently around 1% of the population), not surprisingly, this did not boost my confidence to know that others are suffering too.
However, with all those people out there suffering from the same condition, I thought that there must be successes somewhere. So I tried every extra strong anti-perspirant that was recommended to me, tried cutting out certain food types, tried relaxation techniques, acupuncture, herbalism and even started to read about surgery and botox. The first minor successes came from the free to do list, shave your armpits (yes even men do it), without hair, bacteria has fewer places to multiply, resulting in less odour. Skin brushing my armpits, also reduced odour, but again did nothing for the core problem of excessive amounts of sweat pouring out of my armpits and seeping down my shirt.
The breakthrough came when I tried disposable sweat shields on a night out. On walking through the entrance of the pub, I felt unusually calm and confident as I had checked my shirt and noticed that it was dry. It has taken 20 years, but I have finally cracked it, I thought to myself. Unfortunately, my delight was overturned when after only one hour, I noticed that the underarm section of my shirt was saturated in the usual way. In the privacy of the toilet, I could see that each shield had fallen off the inside of my shirt after losing adhesion due to the amount of heat and moisture produced by my armpits. Spurred on by the wonderful feeling of confidence that I had encountered for one hour the previous night, I set about developing Sweat Pads that would get over the problems of those that had failed me.
If I could create a pad that securely stays in the armpit section of my shirt, absorbs a considerable amount of sweat and shields my shirt from sweat by way of a moisture impermeable layer, then my confidence could be boosted all day long. It took a lot of time to get the product right, but what a confidence booster it is. Even for those people with huge armpit sweat patches like those shown on the website, Sweat Guard Sweat Pads stop armpit sweat from showing.
Before risking your health and vast sums of money involved with many clinical methods of treatment, try using Sweat Pads, they really work. Our Washable Armpit Sweat Pads absorb considerably more sweat than the disposable type and stay in place.
