This product is great.. I've had a realy bad under arm wetness problem for the last 2 years, tried absolutely everything.. mitchum, clinical strength secret & dove, even different mens extra strength anti persperants.. and the list goes on... I had to base my wardrobe on which shirts wouldnt leave noticeable marks... so finally i did some research online and came across drysol.. I called my doctor and she wrote the prescription... I put drysol on the first night and I havent had ANY sweating from my underarms... I am now on my 7th night.. The side effects for me are pretty mild.. Mild irritation tingling and itching.. definitely without a doubt worth it.. I reccomend this product to anyone who has the same problem IT WORKS!

"Hi. My name is Drysol. And I'm here to save your life."

I swear, I heard those exact words when my Drysol came in the mail. The bottle literally sprouted lips and started talking to me. I may or may not have been "myself" at that moment. Your mileage may vary...

Anyway, Drysol. Yeah. This stuff is good. For years I've tried everything to stop sweating. Stronger deoderant, clinical strength crap (which barely helps, I'm telling you all now), and even baby powder. Did they help? Not the least bit. I was still wetter than Niagara Falls in a thunderstorm. It affected my social life and just how I felt overall.

It all started in 7th grade. I would sweat like every other kid before then, and I didn't really think much about sweating. One day, I walked into my science class. Someone pointed at me and said something along the lines of "Hey, why is your ass wet?"

I thought, oh, I probably just sat on milk. It sure smells like it. I know, it's gross, right? I didn't think much of it, so I kept wearing light colored pants. Then about a year later, I realized how bad it was. I finally decided that I needed to start wearing darker clothing, or something that wouldn’t showcase my attractive sweat stains in my… for lack of a better word, butt area.

Summers were absolutely terrible in terms of sweating, and the school year was far worse. 9th grade was a good year. Made a lot of friends, had a lot of fun, but the sweating was still a problem. I didn’t even try to fix the problem for some reason. Throughout 9th grade, I was still a leaky faucet.

Basically, this repeated for the next year. Sweaty, sweaty summers and one embarrassing school year. Fortunately, my social life wasn’t too bad. I had and still do have a good amount of friends and people like me, since I’ve got a great personality. I know, that sounds incredibly arrogant, but it’s great having a serious problem like I did and still making friends.

I am now a 16 year old in 11th grade. Two weeks ago, I got a package in the mail. I opened it up, and there it was. The Holy Grail. I felt like I was holding a million bucks. I couldn’t wait to try it that night.

Setup was sort of a pain. The directions weren’t very clear, so I didn’t know if I was doing the right thing or not. I got the dab on applicator, and setting that up involves forcing the dab thingy onto the bottle. And by force, I mean FORCE! By the time I got the applicator onto the bottle, I was sweating. How ironic.

That night I applied it to the problem spots, which included my scalp, armpits, and… that one area I’ve been talking about. I’ve heard people talking about how it burns when you apply it. Although I did in fact find this to be the case, it wasn’t nearly as bad as these people made it out to be. I actually thought it felt quite pleasant, since I was absolutely freezing that night.

I woke up the next morning feeling dry. I was excited to see if the stuff worked. I walked to school. No sweat. I sat down in my incredibly hot first period. No sweat. I walked around during lunch. NO SWEAT! I went outside. NO SWEAT! I stayed after school and helped decorate my grade’s hallway for homecoming. No freakin’ sweat. I was happy… No… I was ecstatic. I just wanted to cry. In front of everyone. I would have done it and I wouldn’t have cared. I can finally go to parties without sweating. I can finally walk around downtown without sweating. I can finally go to my classes without sweating. I can finally hug someone without sweating. It’s the best feeling in the world.

So here’s the deal. If you have hyperhydrosis like me, then you’d be dumb NOT to get this stuff. It’ll save your life. It sure as hell saved mine.

Drysol Is a miracle. When I hit about 25 years old I started having issues with sweating. It was very embarrasing as I spend a lot of time in meetings. I would wear undershirts to try to hide it but I would just sweat right through them. After A while I was putting paper towel in my arms pits and changing it about 3 times an hour. I would sweat buckets doing nothing other then watching TV or playing cards. I searched online looking for the best deodorant. I was told Mitchum is the best so I started using it. Mitchum was no match for my sweating. 10 minutes after putting it on I would be soaked. Finally I got sick of it and went to the doctor just this week. In the middle of explaining my problem he jumped up and left the room. He returned minutes later with a few small bottles of Drysol. i was told to try it for a week and he'd write me a perscrption if it worked. The first day I simply rubbed it under my arms and went on with the rest of the day. I noticed a minor improvement but nothing life changing. After reading up on the product i learned that it is important put it on before bed and give it some time to dry. So lastnight I did. This morning my pits felt very dry but nothing serious. This morning i rolled on my regular Old Spice deodorant and headed to work. I must say this is amazing! I've been at work for 3 hours now and my pits are bone dry. On a normal I would be soaked by now. This could be the end to all my sweaty worries. Try this product

Unbelievably good stuff!!

I got the 37.5ml plastic bottle, which is the only negative; its either a refill bottle or something, because its impossible to put on! It says use either your fingers (very messy) or a cotton bud (very wasteful) so Ive ended up laying back, and squeezing some on, then rubbing it on, somewhat like using eyedrops, except on my underarms.

Ok, so that was the negative - wasteful and messy.

However, the result is brilliant. I used it in small amounts for a couple of days, and had reduced sweating for one armpit and almost a complete absence of sweating in the other - this was after about 2-3 nights. I left it for a couple of days after that, because my skin was becoming a bit sensitive, not sore, just a slight itch and I didnt want to risk it.

But, alas.. I got impatient after one arm kept producing sweat... I wanted it all gone, so I kinda broke with my careful nature and applied quite a large amount to both underarms. This time, I definately felt the itch/soreness people have talked about; it was BAD! I ended up wiping it off after about an hour so that I could sleep. And I thought bugger, Ive blown it, and got itchy sore underarms to boot! Then the next day, I wake up, go to uni, and NO SWEAT at all!! Like magic. Any of you who've had this problem would realise how massive this was for me, to finally be free of those massive, uncomfortable, embarrassing sweat patches.

So, in conclusion, fantastic product - Im sitting here at the moment with completely sweat free underarms! As I said, do not buy the normal plastic bottle unless for a refill or if you're smarter than me and figure out a way to use it properly. But its such a great product. Im not 100% sure if putting heaps on is what helped me, or the eventual build up of using it (I suspect a little of both) but its just completely worth it. Ive now ordered some driclor (almost identical product, but from the UK instead of US and with a roll on bottle and can be shipped cheaper to Australia than I got the drysol for)

I am a very social 8th grader and have been sweating for the last two years. I too used dark sweatshirts to cover it up and can relate to the other bloggers about feeling embarrassed. I feel like I couldn't completely be myself and felt shy giving hugs because I didn't want people to know I was sweating so much. It got to the point where I had to bring two extra shirts to school to change into and sfter first period I would have to change into my second shirt. I tried all of the pit sticks both prescription and regular. Nothing seemed to work and by then I was thinking I would always be uncomfortable having this problem. I got online and even looked into drastic options including botox injections and surgery. My mom called the Dr. and they suggested Drysol. I used it that night and there was tingling and itching but it was worth it. My mom wrapped my armpit and shoulder in saran wrap and I was uncomfortable and thought my mom was crazy. I wore a snug t-shirt that night and put cold packs next to my sides. I woke up the next morning and washed it off. I was a little sore/irritated in the armpit area but headed off to school. Unbelievable to say but not a single drop of sweat. It was like Christmas!!!! Now I know how everyone else feels to stay dry and it worked after one application. Now my mom thinks I am crazy because I made her touch my dry armpits! Cute clothes here I come! Fold up the sweatshirts, no more guarded hugs, my full confidence is back and I can be me. This product works or I would not bother to blog about it. Give it a chance it will change your life. A few tips include not shaving your arm pits right before using it at night and blotting not dragging the medication against the skin. Although plastic or Saran Wrap feels weird I used it the first couple of times to keep area from rubbing against shirt. Wow what a product. Way to go Drysol.

So I am going to get right to it. I sweat A Lot and a family friend had some of this product, I was willing to try anything. So I did and I got AMAZING results, not even a little sweat on my under arms, for the WHOLE day, I was so impressed. I am in high school so I was shooting some hoops for fun and jumping around and speed walking to class. You would be crazy not to give this a chance. Oh and it may burn a little but hey what would you rather have a little bit of burning or sweat stains? Your choice.

okay so i know my story might sound like the others and cliche...actually it might sound cliche that im saying it sounds cliche...lol. but anyways heres my story.

so i've started sweating maybe around 5th to 6th grade. i didnt think it was
a big deal (i mean i was a kid and didnt know or cared) until the ending of 6th
grade and became a little more girly. i noticed i couldnt wear certain clothes
or certain colors because it would show like 10 minutes after i would put on
a shirt. i thought it was just my deodorant or something and i seriously tried
EVERY SINGLE DEODORANT THERE WAS!! even the non name brand ones
but nothing worked. i ignored it for a year or so by wearing dark colors like
brown or black...mainly black. my mom was mad that i would wear black
every day that it was not "girly" enough. and the ppl that didnt know me
thought i was gothic or emo because of it. i looked deeper into my situation and with the power of google i thought i had hyperhidrosis. i heard of drysol but i didnt feel like getting the whole presciption thing so i tried certain dri...that was a waste of 5 dollars! i realized my condition was to strong for certain dri to handle. so basically all throughout 9th grade i begged my mom to take me to a doctors. it was hard doing so with my mom and dad working all the time and with ppl expecting to recieve hugs from me everyday. it seemed like the hardest thing in the world. when ppl started to noticed i wanted to roll in a ball and cry...the embearassment was too much for me.


now the summer im going to 10th, and i talked to a pediatrician about it and he gave me a prescription for it. the presciption paper felt like i had a trillion dollars in my hands. i couldnt wait for night to come so i could try it. it felt like low pressure mosquito bites...nothing big. the next day i wore a white shirt and since it is summer it is realllllllly hot...like in the 90's. and not one drop. i felt like crying. i felt like running to the nearest mall and buying all their colored shirts. because i could now wear them. i cant wait for school to show ppl im not to be labled as "the sweaty girl" thats the last thing i was to be called. now i can be called just jamie. the girl without sweat stains down to her waist lol.

if you wanna talk share stories or hear more about mines just tweet me on twitter =)

I always said that if I found something that worked for me I would tell as many people as i could. So here I am. Okay, it all started in 7th grade for me, it's that akward time in your life where you are going through changes and trying to "fit in". I was embarassed and would wear sweat shirts to school (fine in the winter, but in the summer people started to notice I was the only person wearing winter clothes when it was 96 degrees outside in North Carolina. I would always tell people "oh im just cold natured cause I'm from Florida". I would get overheated easily and would sweat through the sweat shirts. It was really embarassing. This continued through middle school and on to high school. I was now considered one of the "popular kids" and everyone knows they have to have some sense of style. People started to question the sweatshirts more and I became more and more embarassed and desperate to find a cure, I just wanted to be a normal teenager that could wear the cute clothes and things I always wanted to. Finally I started to do research because I knew I was sweating more than an average teen and person. Though I had gotten to the point where I wouldnt sweat through my sweat shirts anymore I still couldnt wear a tank top, let alone a tshirt without having embarassing sweat stains around the arm sleeve. When I discovered that I had hyper hyperhydrolysis, I was deavastated. I pretty much figured I would have to wear sweat shirts my whole life. I started using multiple deoderants and talked to my doctor (who said just use a strong mens deoderant, which didnt work what so ever), I almost lost hope. Then I discovered drysol. I bought it immediatly (this was close to the end of 10th grade). I was so excited when it came. That night I used it, and within the next day I saw results. After 3 days I only had a little bit of sweat by the end of the school day. But the day that I really became a believer was when I went to school the whole day without a sweatshirt on (I wore a really cute bright shirt)and then afterward went to a friends house, then went to the house of a guy that I liked with friends (you know you get nervous around guys) and played basketball with them, THEN went to the softball game my friend was in. When I got home, Not a drop of sweat. I was so excited that I could finally be myself and not have to cover up because I was embarrased. I am now starting 11th grade and am still using drysol. It saved my life so to speak and I would recomend it to anyone.

Okay, now that you heard my story, the facts about it.
Some people say it burns but for me it was itchy, but not unbearable and if your really serious about changing then you can suck it up for 3 nights a week
Be sure you read the instructions carefully
You have to realize what drysol is doing to you. naturally, your body sweats to stay cool and to omit certain toxins from your body, blocking this natural process of your body is not necisarily the best thing for you. It has chemicals in it that attack the sweat glands under your arms and burn them in order to keep them from producing sweat. In the long run, it is not good for you and there are side effects and can in extremely rare cases cause cancer. How do I know this? My dad is a doctor. I knew this information before and I know it now, but I really couldnt deal with it and its a risk im willing to take. It is totally up to you if you would like to make the decision. I will still recomend it.

Drysol has changed my life for the better and I hope it can do the same for you. :)




peace and love

hello. well i just got mine from canada and i was a little afraid to use it. i got the mild one so i wouldnt itch that much. i mean before i used it, i sweated so much just by walking at a normal place to anywhere. i used it last night i didnt experience any burning whatsoever. i kept checking the whole day and let me tell you it really works. it was 90 plus degrees outside and nothing. hopefully the itch doesnt happen tonight but i will definitely post another review if it does. ah! i am so happy.

i can have my summer back. <3

It does not work. I sweat the same as before. Don't waste your time, although my doctor said I had to try it before surgery. It 'might' work on light sweaters, but not on me.

I have been using Drysol for 8+ years on my underarms. It has been so amazing. I used to sweat like crazy and it was so stressful because my shirts would be all sweaty in the underarm area so I would have to either try not to raise my arms or put paper towels under my arms and try to keep them there throughout the day without them falling out of my shirt. Very uncomfortable and stressful!!! When I first used it I think the Dr. told me to put it on each night for a week or two. It only took a day or two for my sweating issue to stop. Now I only have to use it once every few months for maintenance. Drysol has removed a major stress from my life. When I put it on sometimes I get itchy/irritated under my arms and sometimes get red irritation bumps but it only lasts about the first day and so since I only have to use it once every few months it's a small price to pay to feel uncomfortable for a day than to have sweaty pits every day! ; ) Thank you to whoever invented this stuff. I always laugh now when I watch TV and see celebrities with sweaty pits. It makes my smile and wonder why they don't use Drysol!

I am so glad I tried this. I sweat everyday under my arms for years, and more so if I was nervous or drinking coffee. I was researching surgery to stop underarm sweating when I found this. I put it on for 2 nights straight. It burned and itched badly but my armpits were dry the next day which seemed like a miracle. Now I use it about once a week and I find if I dab it on and then dry it with a hair dryer it's not as bad. I often wake up in the night and wipe it off with a wet cloth then go back to sleep. Might sound like a pain, but nothing like a week without sweating!

Hi there everyone I came out here to check into the reviews about drysol before buying it, I picked it up yesterday and used it last night and I havent sweat a drop yet today. it was a little itchy when i put it on but nothin I couldnt handle :). I wanted to let everyone who is dealing with this embarassing problem to give it a try you dont need a prescription to get it cost me $23 and change. I was kinda leary at first cause I wasnt sure if the reviews on here were actually honest or just people pais to write them but I tried and I am so damn happy today cause for the first time in a loooonnnng time i didnt have to change shirts mid day and wear a sweater. I live in cambridge ontario canada and I bought drysol at beverage and brown pharmacy but I think it maybe at any pharmacy really. I hope this lasts because I have never been so excited to go out and shop and just be out there cause I am not sweating:) hope this helps.
It has been like 20 years since I last felt so free to wear anyhting and I love to shop

I have posted it on both sites and I hope everyone has the same great experience that i am having

I have been suffering from Hyperhidrosis since my first pregnancy almost 7 years ago. It has just gotten worse every year. I tried everything - clinical strength, mens clinical strength, crystal, organic - you name it, I tried everything. Nothing worked. I finally mentioned it to my doctor. She gave me a sample of Drysol. I was skeptical and in fact, didn't even try it right away, thinking it would be pointless. I was contemplating botox injections and even removal of my underarm sweat glands. I finally decided to give it a shot. Well, let me tell you, this product has changed my life. The average person would think I was being dramatic, but anyone who suffers from this condition truly understands. It worked after the first application! I have been using it for about 6 weeks now and I have been completely dry ever since. Not one single sweat stain! It does itch sometimes after putting it on, but it's worth it. I actually put a little baby powder under my arms after my shower, just to get that soft feel. I have also started getting my underarms waxed, which also avoids irritation (it hurts, but also worth it! LOL). If you are given a sample, and don't have the leaflet included with the regular bottle, just remember NOT to rub it in (just dab it on), to put it on a night and to wash it off in the morning. And you are not supposed to use any other anti-perspirants with it. Amazing! Love it love it love it!!!

Hi guys, I've been suffering from hyperhidrosis since i was 12. I'm 33 now and I've been using drysol for about 6 months now. It's friggin awesome. At first i didn't think it was working the way it should but i neglected to use the plastic wrap. As soon as i did start using the plastic my hands are like 90% less sweaty. It's not a cure but it makes shaking hands with people bearable, and i can play xbox without a towel sitting next to me. It's especially nice to be introduced to a cute girl by a friend and not have her cringe and wipe her hand off on her jeans after shaking. What's really funny about it is now i notice other people with sweaty hands that i never noticed before, and when i shake hands with them i cringe and wipe my hand off on my jeans lol.

So I was pretty skeptical about this product. There was all these reviews saying the exact same thing I've heard on other forums, so I thought that it was a paid person mashing through all the forums. Despite my disbelief, I went out and bought it. I was looking for CertainDri, but the pharmacist said it wasn't sold in Canada. He recommended Drysol. THIS STUFF WORKED for me. Yea, It itched, but I didn't get any rash or anything, and I was completely dry all day. I forgot to put it on the next night (Night after the very first night) and was still dry all day. I put it on the next TWO nights, and waited 4 days before I had to put it on again!

yea, so , I am not an automated bot, blahahajfdhsalfhgashfdsa (bot wouldn't do that) ahhahahah

I heard it only works for 80% of people, True?

worked for me!

WOW!!! is all i can say...let me tell you my story. it started when i was about 12 or so. wasn't so severe but as i grew older this embarrassing problem got worse. in school i would wear a uniform with a white shirt so i didnt really care, but once i finished school and started working, oh boy! i would literally cry sometimes because i couldn't take it anymore. i used to wonder why me why the hell me? but after strenuous research i was determined to find a solution. i tried everything from msecret clinical to reapplying deodorant during the day to sewing on patches of material inside my shirts lol to even considering buying the adhesive ones. oh boy i tried and tried i would complain to my mom all the time. i felt like leaving my job because i couldnt stand interacting with people and having this problem, then i prayed and prayed so much one day that i was so fed up and God really answered my prayers. i tried this product when i ordered it from canada, i live in the tropics, and after the very first night it worked!!! i went to work feeling brand new so much happier and the best part was no sweat absolutely none and this was after coming out after the shower for years and waiting for my deodorant to dry while i put on make up and it would never dry. like they say it does scratch and burn like crazy but it's all worth it. when you wash it off the following morning you are relieved of the itch and you can go through the day happy. this has truly changed my life and would recommend it to anyone with this problem. i was also happy and shocked to know that it's quite common and so many people's stories are similar to mine and i'm so happy we all find this product that has changed our lives

This is probably the best product I have ever bought. Ever. It completely changed my life and totally took away the burden of hyperhydrosis. I have been using this product religiously for about 3 years now and I still love it. After a year or so of embarassment, becoming socially reclusive and wearing many layers of clothes with thick fabric I finally asked my doctor about my excessive sweating. He gave me some free samples of drysol and it was the best thing I have ever done. Unfortunately, the free samples did not come with instructions and I did not apply it well. I rubbed it in my skin thoroughly for several nights in a row. This led to terrible burning and discomfort. After a while the skin under my arms actually scabbed over, but these came off and the skin was fine once I lowered the dosage. The important thing is though, it worked beautifully. I went from applying it every night, to every other night, and so on until now where I only apply it about once every 2-3 weeks when I begin to notice more sweating than I would like and use regular deodarant from about a week after I have applied it to when I reapply. And since I bought a bottle with instructions and dabbed it on rather than rubbing it in there is almost no discomfort when I use it. You can also probably skip the plastic stuff, I found that messy and ineffective. Be sure to sleep in a shirt you don't care much about though as holes were torn in the arms of quite a few of my shirts thanks to this.

I also tried using this on my hands for a time, but I found that it dried out the skin way too much and didn't work particularly well. I think that for it to have had a real effect I would have had to apply it for many nights in a row and the dryness was a bit too much for me to put up with.

If you are considering buying this product I would most definately recommend it. I have not tried other "clinical strength" deodorants so I cannot say how it compares, but if you want a product that will work, and will change your life and attitude completely this is it. Just be sure to follow the instructions carefully, especially the part about not rubbing it in, or be prepared for some serious pain!

This has changed my life. How embarassed was i to be a young lady that did not have the freedom to wear what i wanted.. to spare embarassment. i can wear whatever I wish to. I have been using this product for 5 years and its the best thing ever.

In sixth grade i was really looking forward to meeting new friends and having a great middle school experience. However, soon into middle school i realized i had a huge sweating problem. Every day i'd have huge, embarrising, pit stains on my clothing. It stopped me from wearing what i wanted to and it was so inconvenient. I felt that it was my nerves causing my excessive sweating, but apparently after reading other reviews, it was proabably just puberty. Anyways, i covered myselfwith sweatshirts most days and it really affected me and my confidence. Going into 7th grade i dealt with the same problem. It was awful. Then i finally went to the doctors in the summer before 8th grade and they prescribed drysol. At first, it worked very well. It didn't irritate me, just itched a little at first. My sister got the product too, and stopped using it because she claimed it was so painful and burned to put on. I didnt beleieve her though, because i was having so much success. For about the firts 6months, it was wonderous. I didn't have pit sains any longer, and i loved it and was much mor confident. However, recently it has gone bad. I don't have pit stains, but i have odor. It burns when i put it on, and im not sure if im using too much, or if its because i shaved prior to it. The pain was unbearable and i woke up in the middle of the night and can't be comfortable. I put some aloe on looking for relief and it helped for a bit, but this is beggining to be a problem. Overall, i wont give up on the product yet, since it has worked wonderfully up till now.

Questions

1. Do you apply it your whole armpit or just to the center area (it burns more on the if I apply it to the outsides)
2. The first night the burning was not to bad but the second night was awful so I didnt the next night and then the following night I barely put any on. Is the burning normal for the second night and just get less as time goes on?
3. Everyone says to barely put any on but how much is barely? I have the bottle with the applicator top so like 3 swipes of that or is that not enough?

Thanks for the answers.

Tried the product for the first time last week. I have dry armpits for the first time in years. Amazing product!! I am now trying it for my sweaty feet, so far not much improvement, but will keep you posted. Overall, very satisfied....

Ever since I can remember, I have had excessively sweaty hands. I am now 24 years old and sick of it, so when I found out about Drysol I didn't hesitate to try it. Initially, it took longer to start working than it said on the package (more like a week of using it every night instead of 2-3 days). But now- SUCCESS! :D The only obvious disadvantage is that my palms are dried out and sometimes flaky, but it hasn't been as bad since I decreased the dosage to 2 nights a week. I also make sure to use lots of lotion during the day, and on the nights I am not using Drysol. If you have a hot date, I would also highly recommend using Mary Kay's Satin Hands treatment beforehand for a quick and effective moisture/exfoliation boost. Also, make sure to apply the Drysol between your fingers and on the fatty outside edge of your hand. I did not experience the irritation that is common to other people, it just prickled a bit after I washed it off on the first few days. This is a great product, and I highly recommend it to anyone who has this problem.

After suffering for 3 years, I finally went to the doctor and she gave me a script for drysol. I used it that night and was amazed the next day that I was 100% dry the entire day. No wet circles on my shirt. The trick is to apply at little as possible to avoid the excessive itiching and bumps. This product is GREAT!!!!!!!!!

i started using this product recently.
i am very pleased with the results i have gotten, because i now i only sweat during intense workouts.
the only bad characteristic about this product is that the burning sensation and the itchyness this product causes is nearly unbearable.
but when it comes to this product, it is best to suck it up and be a man because the results are unbelievable!

My dermotologist perscribed me drysol, it was a life saver to me. I have
never burned or itched at all, beacause I was perscribed desonate, which
is a steroid. I cant even tell I've applied anything under my arms.

I just started using this product and it is amazing. I am not experiencing the itching that has been mentioned in the comments. I used to sit at my desk at work and my arm pits would be soaked. Now they are damp at best, but no discoloring is noticed. For now I am a believer in the product. The trick is to not put a lot on at night. Use it lightly the first few nights.

I have been using Drysol since October of 2006 and I can say it has changed my life. I had never had a problem with sweating until I really started to hit puberty in 8th grade. I started noticing large sweat marks and began to wear less and less colored clothes. By the end of 8th grade it had gotten really bad and I could no longer wear the clothing I wanted too. I would hide under sweatshirts and wear white t shirts all the time to hide the sweat. I am sure everyone here knows and understands the embarrassment and gross feeling of having wet underarms. Finally in October of 9th grade I was fed up and I asked my doctor about Drysol. I used it that night and it was unbelieveable! It burned very badly but I just sucked it up and the next day I did not have a drop of sweat, what so ever! Almost two years later, I know use Drysol sporadically, maybe once every two-four weeks. It has continued to work wonders and I have been able to wear the clothes I want to and have more confidence. It may be atypical, but since using Drysol I very rarely sweat even when I haven't used to the product in weeks. And when I do, it it very minimal, especially compared to the large circles I encountered in 8th grade. It may be just because I am pretty much done with puberty, but I can at least say that Drysol made my teenager years less awkward and I thank them very much for that.

Drysol works!!! I used it the first night i got it and the ext day, i did not sweat once!! However, i think i put way too much on and now i have a bumpy rash under both of my arms and it hurts! It is fine during the day, but as soon as i put the Drysol back on, no matter how little, it kills! i think i am just going to wait until the rash goes away to use it again. make sure to only put a little bit on!!!

I won't tell all about my horror stories suffering through hyperhidrosis , but I just want to say that it was a nightmare , that I hid from everyone , including my best friends , family and boyfriend . After two years of this problem I turned 16 and decided enough was enough . I'm the social butterfly and I can't let this ruin my social life. So I went to the doctor and she recommended drysol . I used it last night and today for the first time in years I went out in public for a few hours and came home with 100% dry underarms . Praise God , if you've experienced hyperpidrodis you must know how happy and thankful I am right now . I can wear whatever I want , and many more benefits that I don't have the time to say. I reccomend this to everyone with sweating problems. honestly , don't be embarrassed to go to a doctor , huperhidrosis is so common ! the first night I used drysol there was a bit of an itch , and try not to scratch , it will make the itch much worse . Tonight I have already applied the drysol, and the itch was more than I could stand so I put on some moisturizer over top and it immediatly helped . I'm not sure if this will affect the effectivness of the drysol , but it does take away the sting for sure ! I guess I'll find out soon enough . One last thing : if drysol does not work for you , one thing that I did before I got drysol was that I sewed 3 or 4 extra layers of cloth into the underarm areas of my shirts and sweaters . It takes some practice to disguise and properly position the cloth but it really helps slow down / stop the sweat from showing !! Just make sure to use plenty of deodedants because all the sweat collected like that can really start to smell . Good luck !

it says that there's supposed to be a "thin layer" after you apply it and it dries off. Is that visible? :s

Hi, Im sixteen years old and am a sophmore.. Wahh well I have suffered from sweating since 5th grade and it sucked so bad because i was embaressed to do anything because i was scared i was going to sweat..I didnt talk to alot of people because when i talk to new ppl i get nervous and sweatt..so i just talked to my normal friends...Well Last week i went to the doct. for being sickk..and i told her that i have a sweating problem and she said that i should try Drysol..So i did and i used it over the weekend..and by Monday i was able to wear a shirtt that i usuually dont wear..I usually wear tank tops or black...But i wore a purple short-sleeve shirt...And i ddidnt sweat once...Then the next day i wore a SWEATER...and iv never worn sweater since i was younger..and i didnt sweatt..It felt like i was but i wasnt.

oh my god this has been the best thing i ever tryed!!!!!! why didnt i know about this before please if u r reading this please try it (drysol)the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a terrible underarm wetness problem and Drysol was recommended by a friend who swears by it. I decided to try it and got the extra strength version, thinking that I may have found a cure for embarassing and uncomfortable wetness. I did not have any luck with the product. I didn't even notice any decrease in sweating. I also found that the product was very irritating to my skin, and on several occasions, I have woken up in the middle of the night with very itchy underarms after applying the product. So I'm still on the search for something that works and hopefully one day I will find something to stop the disgusting wetness Drysol isn't it. Bottom line is, I don't recommend this product.

Well, I discovered this product a few weeks ago, ordered it, and have now been using it for one week. I have always had a major problem of excessive sweating under the arms. I was never able to wear certain colors of clothing and to top it off I am a teacher ... this has been a very embarrassing problem for me.

So, after the very first night of using it ... Instant success!!!!! I mean it, not one drop of sweat the entire following day (or any day since) for the very first time in over 10 years. It is amazing, really does work and I highly recommend it to anyone with this problem. I used it for three consecutive nights, now am using it every three nights. Those days (following night application) that I do not use Drysol, I use my normal deodorant and it still continues to works.

Now, for me .. It does itch and burn a bit which is uncomfortable at night, but it's not that bad. I know that once you try it you'll agree that a little itching is a very fair trade for NO MORE SWEAT! 100% effective!

hello everyone, i pick up my drysol yesterday after researching the internet, afterfollowing the instructions i used it last night it really irritates me, but who care! because after using it just once 60% of my sweating has gone, can't wait to us it again tonight. Thank you JESUS for answering my prays, for so long i have cried out with this horrible problem of excessive sweating.

i got drysol after a year of exess sweating. IT WORKS GREAT. i find that it only works with the sir-an wrap and that it barely irrateates the skin. it worked for me wonderfully and i hope it works for you just the same!

hola he decidido hacer este review en espanol pues cuando comense a indagar sobre este excellente producto no encontre mucho en espanol , en esta pagina si vi muchas reviews que me sirvieron y nada aqui esto para dar mi opinion sobre drysol primero que todo el producto es magnifico se lo diec alqui que sufrio de sudor en las axilas por 15 anos o mas y ahora nada todo seco los primeros 3 dias el sudor dsiminullo gradualmente por lo que digo que no deben desesperarce ni desecionarse ya para el 4 dia el sudo es casi nada y luego de una semana olvidalo, en mi caso lo use seguido 7 dias todas las noches ahora solo lu uso antes de dormir 2 dos veces pro semana, simpre lo use de noche antes de dormir , en las mananas pues esta es otra duda que muchos tienen no use en los primeros 7 dias ningun desodorante ahora solo uso pero un tin pues no creo que sea necesario usa pero por si pues en realida a pesar de sudar no cojo mal olor, en fin recomiendo el drysol a todos los que sufran de esto como yo nunca lo use en las palmas o en lo pies solo debajo de los brazos y les repito es exellente, o unico malo es que arde o pica un poco cuando lo pones lo primeros dias , pero debe ser que por la desesperacion de eliminar el sudor me hechaba mucho, pues ahora me aplico menos y casi ni lo siento, a otra cosa el 4dia me afeite pues esto ayuda tmabien pues arriba a usa y creanme que no se arrepentiran gracias drysol

can it be used on palms?

I just ordered Drysol last week so I should be receiving it soon. From reading everyone's reviews it seems like this stuff really works! I am very excited as I have suffered from excessive sweating for a very long time and figured there was nothing I could do about it. I am a little worried however about the burning everyone is talking about. At this point I really don't care. My problem has caused me to not be myself at times. I tend to be reserved and quiet because I want to go unnoticed. I don't know about anyone else, but my sweating problem really doubles as two. I also tend to have B.O. which for anyone especially a female is REALLY embarassing! I hope this stuff really works as well as everyone says it does!! I really want to be able to live a normal life with CONFIDENCE!

OMG!!! I never in my life have done one of these reviews things, but I guess this has changed my decision. I'm now in 9th grade and have suffered from hyperhidrosis since I was in 6th grade. I remember the dreadful day perfectly, I was raising my hand to ask a question and there I saw it, a huge sweat stain. I thought I did not put my deodorant on right or something but soon I realized I had a problem. When one day I finally got the guts inside me to tell my doctor to prescribe me drysol, I couldn't wait to try it. I was so excited, the first day I put it on and wow did it burn. I tried falling asleep and eventually I did. Woke up in the morning and took a shower. At school, I was so paranoid, I checked my armpits every 3 seconds. I was amazed not one drop of sweat! I went to the gym that day because I am a boxer, and not even one drop of sweat there! My life has been changed and I've been using it for about 3 weeks. Thank you Drysol, you have truly changed my life. Much love :P IF you're reading this, it does work! I never thought I would get over my problem.

Hello Im 19 yrs old, male. Ive had hyperhidrosis ever since i can remember. When i was little i didnt worry about it that much, but now its really embarrazing. When I go out to clubs, gym, or even when im home i have to worry about the clothes that i use so my sweaty armpits dont show that much. Ive tried several antiperspirants and they just dont work; they either make stains on my clothes or worst, make me sweat more. So, i just gave up on this and said to my self i had to get over it, i was born like that and thats how i was supposed to be. Couple of weeks ago i saw and ad on tv of the Gillete "clinical strenght" whaterer....so i just went to the store and got it. After readiang lots of negative reviews on it, i just desided to return it, as a matter of fact i didnt even open it. While doing the reasearch on the gillette deodoranti heard about this product called DRYSOL, red the reviews and i was really astonished. I was like, i cant believe i found some cure for my sweatyness lol. So i went on ahead i bought the Drysol. I was so excited about getting it that i would check the mail everyday until I received it like a week after and put it on the first night i got it. Oh boy, it really burns and itches, but whatever. I woke up the following morning, my armpits were red. That day i didnt have much activity, nonetheless, i did not feel a drop under my arms. That night i put it on again, next day i woke up took a shower and hit the streets. I would look to my shirt every other minute and there would me any sign of sweat. Ive used it now for three days and i can just say that it really is worth the pain. My armpits are completelly dry i don even have to wear deodorant (i use baby powder now LOL) now im going to start using it once or twice a week as needed (as it say on the instructions)
I can say that drysol has changed my life and it has given me confidence and has helped me raise my self steem.
And that is my story..!! hope it was usefull

I am a 33 y/o female, who has suffered with hyperhidrosis since I was about 11 years old. Throughout my years, I seldom raised my hand, was weary about giving hugs and always had to be ultra selective in what to wear. Most often times, my choice of clothing was limited due its ability to camouflage. I also always had a fear of speaking in front of an audience because I was certain everyone would see my underarms, so full of sweat. Like many others on here, I showered constantly to avoid ever smelling, had several changes of shirts available, as well as the strongest OTC antipersperant money could buy. I never sought treatment because I was so embarrassed. I didn't even reveal this to my husband until recently. Last year I tried the Secret Clinical strength. It smelled really nice, but was only effective when I was sleeping. I felt doomed that anything could ever be done. I had read articles on people having surgery or botox to reduce/eliminate sweating. I was not sure about the procedures but considered them until 2 weeks ago. While watching TV, my husband saw a commercial for another OTC antipersperant. While entering that name into the search engine, DRYSOL came up. After reading many of these reviews as well as marketing ads and drug information, I was convinced this was for me.
I am happy to report that for my 2nd anniversary, I got a prescription for DRYSOL and could not wait to use it. I used it for a full week as per my doctor(I had a very severe case) and now I use it every other day. I have not sweat since the day of my annniversary. So that day has extra meaning now! I did have the itching and burning. By the 2nd night and inability to sleep, I decided to take Benadryl 30 minutes before applying(Benadryl is an antihistamine, therefore, reduces itching caused by histamine release). It worked but I still scratched. Putting lotion around the perimeter of application helped to reduce the itching.
I feel so lucky to be able to wear all of the things that looked great in my closet! I am more confident and self-assured. I hug everyone and I raise my hand now. It just really stinks that I had to wait decades for this and how much of life I feel like I missed. BUT, I'm making up for it everyday since I started! Whatever discomfort anyone encounters, to me, is well worth it!

I've tried everything! I wear suits to work and would sweat through my jacket. I've sweat through multi-layers, paper towels, extra strength deoderants, anything you can think of, I have tried with no results. After the first application, I was sold! This stuff is truly the cure for excessive sweat! It's a pain to put on and may cause a light rash, but it is well worth it!

Read geaux9's review below.

Any product that requires that much work to use safely isn't worth using.

Its August in NYC , 90 degrees and 90% humidity and I AM DRY!

I am 27 now and had HH problem since I was 20-21. Used all kinds of antiperspirants, deodorants, powders, stuff you cant even imagine...

I adjusted my died, stopped with salty food because i though it was the water retention...
Stopped with cofee cause might have been the cafeine...
Stopped with soda...
Started running more and lifting less...
I was running 6 minutes miles for 3 miles , and i didnt understand why i was sweating if i was in shape...
you name it i did it...

I am very sceptical about products but this stuff really works for me now and my armpits are completely dry. I am so used to being paranoid about this problem i even put gilette anti perspirant in the morning...but i am sure i dont even need it.

Going into this I said I would be happy if it eliminated 50% of my sweating, but it did nearly 100%.
Seriously USE IT!
Only down side is.......it freaking burns and itches, but people go thru worse pains.
ENJOY!

I absolutely LOVE drysol! I found out about it through the internet because I didn't know who to talk to about my sweating problem. What's weird was that I got this condition when I was 22 (about a year ago) and thought there was no cure. I bought Secret Clinical Strength and was very upset when it did not work (and almost gave up!). Then I read all the reviews about drysol, ordered it online without a prescription and have been very happy ever since! I've been using it for about 3 months and the first week it was pretty itchy and it burned but I stuck through it. Recommendation: do NOT shave the day you apply drysol!!! It definitely makes it worse. After a couple of weeks, I did not experience the burning and itchiness. Now, I only use it once a week and even when I run 3 miles at the gym, I do not have sweaty armpits..it's AMAZING! I use Mitchum throughout the week just b/c it's too weird not to put deodorant on every day. I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone; I can finally wear color clothes without worrying! HORRAY!

OMG! Thank you to all for your reviews on Drysol. It seems like forever, but it was only 1 week ago that I discovered this site and decided to buy Drysol. I was fed up with being embarassed about my excessive sweating. It really affected my performance at work because I was low on confidence. I dressed up in ugly dark sweaters and odd dark colors because of this problem. BUT NOW! I can't wait to shop shop shop for colors colors and more colors. It's been only 4 days since I started using Drysol and it had worked WAY beyond my dreams. I used certain dry and that failed miserably. I keep checking for wetness and even in 80 degree weather, I don't sweat a drop! My life is totally changed.

I am reading all these reviews about Drysol working and what not, but I've tried it and I'm still sweating like crazy!
I don't know if it's because I'm applying it on wrong or not, but it's so embarrassing, because I sweat so much and I hate feeling uncomfortable. I really thought Drysol would work since so many reviews said it did for that person, but... it's not working for me and I'm very sad!

Finally! something that truly works! I've tried everything! certain dry, all the prescription strength products out on the shelves, degree, old spice, gillette, even secret! I was really running out of options and i was even considering getting the botox injections under my arms! I dont know how i was going to pay for the treatments but I was desperate! So I guess you could say drysol was my last option, the first night I applied it, there was no burning and the following day I did sweat, but about 40% less than usual so I still had high hopes for it, considering the fact that you do have to wait a couple of days for it to work. Keeping dry at work was so hard, we have to wear these polyester shirts and I usually have to work 8 hour shifts, by the second hour at work, i was already drenched in sweat, everytime i moved my arm it felt so hot under my arms, i was always so scared to be around people, and considering the fact that i work in customer service was even worse! I was always trying to hide, or avoid talking to people. So after the third day of using drysol i still felt warm underneath my arms and I was like, "Oh great, here we go again". by the end of the night I thought i was drenched so I snuck away to check the damage, and nothing. I was completely dry! I couldnt believe it, by the time i got home i ran to the mirror to check to see if it was true, and it was! no wet stains whatsoever! So I still feel warm underneat my arms but now I know that im not wet! The product didnt sting the first night of using or, or the second but by the third and fourth i did feel it stinging quite a bit, but hey thats the only downside, and its not even a big one for the reward of being dry all day! i cannot believe it! i love this product! it really gave me the self esteem to do my job more productively. I love it!
