I thought that was kinda strange, but worth investigating, so I decided to come here to the experts and sure enough you guys are/have discussed it.. Thanks...

I have hyperhydrosis as well. I can't use Drysol on my armpits anymore, I could only use it daily for about 2 weeks and after that it burned a lot. BUT the sweating has decreased a lot, so it probably killed most of my sweat glands there!
It did not work for my hands and feet, so I consulted with a dermatologist RE: botox. He informed me that it is extremely painful to get on hands and feet and totally scared me so much I never tried it. For those who are thinking of this treatment, make sure you ask about how much it'll hurt!

Well..it's summer! Anyone new try this yet (Drysol)? I'm thinking of ordering some just to do a test run with it this summer. Use it 4th of July weekend--THAT would be an excellent test because it's hotter than the devil's backside here in July.

I got it. 3 days ago, I went to the local pharamacy, as it is behind the counter - but no prescription needed. I have used it twice so far, and today was HOT out. NO SWEATING!!

 

So far so good!

Niiiiiice! I think I'm gonna try it too. What pharmacy did you find it in? I have a site bookmarked that I can order from, but why bother if I can find it over the counter and all.

Ladies,

After reading this post (about the sweating between the legs) I decided to give it a try. Earlier this week FI and I went to an amusement park and I was wearing a cotton summer dress, so I bought some spray on deoderant and sprayed it on my lower regions

We walked around all day on a hot, sunny day and my legs were much drier than they normally would be. HOWEVER, by the end of the day, my legs were SO sore and my inner thighs were actually red and VERY swollen! It was very strange... since then they've been red and irritated

Someone said it's because the deoderant is not letting them breathe! (I used Secret)

Help, I need to find a solution to this sweaty thigh problem!

Drysol : I just went to the local pharmacy and asked the pharmacist.

 

As for the thigh problem, I normally put baby powder and that helps. But I stay away from short shorts and dresses when I know I will be walking along.
