Get Rid of Sweat Stains... Permanently

Posted by Alex Zalben


Some of you might be grossed out by this post, so my apologies, but here it goes: Up until very recently, I was a hugely sweaty guy. No particular reason, I just get very warm, especially in the summer. However, my biggest problem was that I sweat a lot in my pits area, which made it pretty embarrassing to, you know, go outside.

I tried a number of antiperspirants over the past, oh, say, fifteen years, but nothing worked. Until the other day, when I found the key to stopping my sweat stains, permanently.

I ran out of my regular deodorant, and happened to have a spare Tom’s of Maine natural deodorant lying around, so I used that. That day, no sweat stains. Nothing. I thought it was a fluke, but just in case, kept using the ToM. Again, the next day, no sweat, nothing.

This is now two weeks out, and every day I check to see if I have even the tiniest sweat stain in my pit area, and I got nothing. After fifteen years of feeling uncomfortable about this, I don’t have to think about it anymore, and as far as I can tell, it’s all because I was using a non-natural deodorant.

I share this info not to get you into my personal life, or gross you guys out, but just in case another guy (or girl) out there has a similar problem, and never thought of trying this solution. Seriously, it’s kind of life changing.

You can pick up Tom’s of Maine in a variety of scents at most drug stores.

The recent issue of Esquire gives Tom's of Maine lots of praise, and Modern Materialist does too--within weeks of reading the article? I'm throwing out my Degree today.

Awwwww--that's so sweet. I'm glad you found something that works. I've been wanting to try Tom's of Maine for a while now, just because it's all-natural, but I figured it wouldn't work. I'll be getting it now. :)

Hey, thanks guys... This post made me very weirdly uncomfortable; I was worried people would be grossed out, or something, and then get angry at me... I don't know.

So I really appreciate your comments :)

If this stuff works, I'm coming to New York to give you a big pit-stain free hug.

Try drysol! My boyfriend was gross and sweaty and this stuff cured him. He got a prescription, but you can buy it online. Put it under your arms at night and you completely stop sweating there after a few days. I love to spread the good word.

Oh! and for girls- try Secret clinical strength. It isn't as strong, but you can get it at Walgreens. It works the same way as Drysol.

Hyperhydrosis has always been a problem for me during the summer humid weather climate areas.  But withstanding removing sweat glands surgically, is there any all over body type of OTC that can be found?  Not just for the under the arm pit area, which even a little Speed Stick 24/7 Gel works for me.
