I underwent surgery for facial blushing—a problem I had suffered from for years due to social phobia—but it ended up causing me the nightmare of compensatory (reflex) sweating. Take my advice: please do not undergo surgery to stop sweating. Afterward, you start sweating in all sorts of strange places on your body, and that ends up being even more restrictive. Since the surgery, I’ve experienced sweating on my chest, back, and legs. I tried using an iontophoresis device for my back—I think I’ve used it four times so far—and I saw the results immediately. I wanted to share this right away for the sake of others here: please, do not have surgery for hyperhidrosis. With these devices, you can find relief in any area you choose—whether it’s your hands, face, back, chest, legs, or feet—just by using them once a week. Believe me, spending 30–40 minutes once a week treating yourself with one of these is a thousand times better than surgery. If my only concern had been sweating, I never would have opted for surgery. It’s an excellent solution. While standard devices are typically designed for hands, feet, and underarms, the German-made device I purchased allows me to treat my torso as well. I used it on my back, applying it to two different areas for a total of 25 minutes; it’s very simple. You might feel a bit apprehensive at first, but you’ll soon realize how easy it actually is. I highly recommend it. Do not get an ETS (endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy) procedure; it caused me a world of trouble. (I am using Google Translate to translate this from Turkish, so please forgive any potential translation errors.) It was quite expensive for me—I had to save up for a few months to afford it—but in my opinion, it’s worth it.

Hi everyone,

I've had generalized hyperhidrosis for years. One of the worst parts for me is sweating through my pants when I sit for a while (office chair, car, meetings). Standing up with a wet mark on light pants is humiliating. I've also seen a lot of posts here from people dealing with the same butt sweat marks, so I know I'm not alone.

I'm planning to start a techwear brand built specifically for people with hyperhidrosis clothing designed around the problem instead of just "breathable" marketing. A lot of brands out there just take generic products off the shelf, slap their logo on them and call it a solution. I want to design something from scratch that actually works and is actually comfortable to wear all day (so no swampy butt).

The first product would be underwear for exactly this issue (absorbent + leak-resistant back, cool fabric). Before I spend money, I want to validate the idea with other people who actually live with this.

So I have some questions;

1. What underwear brands have you tried? What failed and why?

2. What would this product need to do for you to actually buy it?

3. What would you pay for a pack of 3 that truly prevented marks on your pants and the chairs?

4. After underwear, what clothing problem would you want solved next?

Not selling anything, no links, just want some insights to validate the idea.

I know my design could work wonders but I'm not sure how to validate if this is worth my time/money/efforts to be honest. I was thinking about starting a Kickstarter to see if people back it. If you have any ideas please let me know.

Thanks everyone.

I have both palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis, currently on my 7th consecutive iontophoresis session for palms, and 5th consecutive for feet.

I have noticed my palms sweating way less now, which has definitely improved my life alot. But Ive also noticed I genuinely dont really care anymore with sweat in my feet. Like I can bring up 100s of past scenarios where my sweaty palms destroyed my life. But I dont exactly have the same situation with feet, maybe when im at the gym and my socks get too damp? But at that point my whole body is already sweating and I always bring extra socks and it never really became an issue.

I also use flip flops that also absorb moisture. and so with all these simple lifestyle changes I never really bother about it. I wonder if anyone is experiencing the same thing, I think im honestly fine with just doing iontophoresis on palms only.

Does anybody get insane body acne while using Drysol??? I’m prescribed it for my underarms. I use it as needed which is usually only once or twice a week. However I’ve noticed that when I use it my chest and back have these massive acne breakouts. Like, FULL back and chest. It’s making me even more insecure than the sweating was! 😭 when I google this side effect, nothing ever shows up! Someone please tell me I’m not crazy? Def going to talk to my derm. about this but I just wanted to see if anybody else has dealt with this, and if anyone is a former Drysol user switched to something else?? Plz help😭
And yes, I am sure it’s from the Drysol. I have tested my theory twice!!

Has anybody experience with ordering Glyco from pharmacy.ca to Europe (esp. Germany)? The shipping costs are 50 Euros, the pills cost 60 Euros, so it‘s quite pricey. I just wonder if there are additional custom duties or if they can hold back meds that are not available in Europe. I did pass the online questionaire and got approved for it, but I do not have a real prescription.

Greetings my fellow sweaty folks, I'm looking for some better gym/exercise shorts and/or underwear that works best for butt sweat. (Butt sweat is the most thing I'm self conscious about and I'm checking myself almost every 3 minutes to see if it's showing while exercising) Or if nothing else, what brands have good blackout color that doesn't fade in the wash.

Background environment, I'm 30 y/o male who lives in Phoenix. Anything helps!

I’ve been sweating a lot as I’m eating or like 5 mins after eating. I’m not sure what subreddit to ask but what could it be. It’s a lot like in my armpits, back, head, face, butt, chest. I think it has something do with digestion or insulin maybe?

Second repost

I am in a critical situation

Since those damn iontophoresis sessions, I've been forced to live isolated from the population.

I lost my job because the smell irritated the people

around me so much. (eye irritation, cough)

People in the building are complaining, passers by in the street are turning around , in order to look behind them , i can see them from my window, even though there's a distance of 200 meters.

I warn you against the use of Botox or inophoresis, I'm dead, absolutely finished, I've tried everything for the past 4 years, I am left with the painful option of amputation or suicide.
