I'd had excessive perspiration for over 2 years, and I've finally found a cure for sweating!
These two years were probably the worst time to be sweating because I was just starting middle school and trying to be cool and fit in, just like the other insecure kids. However, unlike most of them, I came home each day with huge sweat circles that would start early in the morning when I got dressed and got worse and worse throughout the day.
I would automatically get home from school and change into a t-shirt because my other shirt was drenched. My friends didn't understand why I had this problem, and although I knew they loved me, they would still make fun of my sweating problem.
I tried every type of deodorant ever made and tried the antipersperant advertised on T.V. called "Certain Dry." Nothing worked.
One day I just decided I had had enough. I was desperate for a cure for sweating. I told my mom that I was sick of my problem and I wanted it to stop. I did some research and learned about Drysol, and soon after my mom took me to the doctor to get a prescription. At first I was discouraged. I couldn't shave as often when I used it, so I had long armpit hair, and plus it didn't work at first.
I started to go to school with unshaved pits AND excess perspiration. It also itched really bad and irritated my skin. However, after using it consistently for a couple of weeks, I began to notice that I was sweating less and less. My skin got used to the stuff and it was less irritated.
Once the perspiration began to decrease, I could use the Drysol less often and I could shave more often. Now I only sweat when I am extremely hot or when I exercise. When I do sweat, it is a small amount that normal people sweat, not people with excessive sweating problems.
I am going into my first year of high school in the fall. I am very excited to meet new people and learn new things. But most of all, I am very excited to do it without huge sweat circles every day.
Because of Drysol, I am more confident and outgoing. If you are struggling with excess perspiration, use Drysol. Whoever invented that stuff was a genius. Because of them, I have finally found a cure for sweating!!
