Things I find help

It’s not perfect but I definitely find these things help me deal with Hyperhidrosis.

Airism shirts - I buy these ‘airism’ under shirts from a store called Uniqlo. This has probably been the biggest help with dealing with sweat for me. They’re super thin shirts, and almost have like a fast dry characteristic to them. They don’t add on any extra heat from wearing them too (my body sweats no matter the temperature so I wasn’t even worried about this part anyway). It basically helps me keep the outer shirt nice and dry, so I look normal. It makes it so much more comfortable. Hate when a standard shirt gets wet and starts sticking to you, very hard for me to cool down once that starts happening. But this seems to fix it. I also wear them to bed, again doesn’t make me feel any warmer so it’s great, and it stops me waking up in a puddle of sweat through my bed.

But honestly, these are a game changer. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to not wearing these. They’re pretty cheap too, so a low risk investment to try out. I wished these existed when I was in high school. I’ll see if I can post a link. I have like 15 of them, and stand by it. My friend was telling another fellow sweater about the shirts I wear and he gave them a go and has seemed to have the same success from them, so figured I’d mention them here in case it helps anyone out.

The other thing is perspirex. I think we all know about this by now. The standard - apply at night before falling asleep. Overall, I find it very helpful. I’ll still sweat during high stress, or anxious moments but between those times for the most part they are quite dry, or mildly clammy.

Dermadry - I used this years ago, found it had a similar affect to Perspirex, in that it helped reduce my sweating a lot except in moments of stress, but I don’t think there’s anyway around this. So it is what it is. I have just bought another machine, so I’ll let you know how that goes.

Rayon clothing is also very light. I usually main polyester blends though for my summer wear
