I also suffer really badly from excessive perspiration. I was using a
clinical deodorant called driclor, which was tremendous for me. It used
to be on prescription but now it's over the counter. I am from Ireland
originally and came to the states 6 months ago but I brought 6 bottles
over with me. I haven't looked yet to see if it's available over here
but I will soon and let you know, because I'm running out.
Just to be able to wear white tops again is amazing!!

I can only give you practical advise such as being careful to choose blouses and dresses in material that does not change colour when wet. My favourite trick in the shop changinroom would be to lick the inside of the hem just to test! (Sorry for anyone that bought a licked dress - it was only a little honest!)

>I really do sympathise with you. Being young and wanting to be reasonable fashionable etc. Im not convinced that it is necessarily to do with being overweight either. At 19 I was 9st 3lbs (at 5'7")and if I went to a nightclub could come home drenched to my waist and hair plastered to my face! Most attractive <G>.
