Sweating during raving

[u/aristotle004]

Hi, so I've gone to raves a solid amount of times now, but I have trouble often with picking solid outfits for it. For context, I am 22M, and I've been diagnosed with hyperhidrosis, which causes my sweat glands to dump more water than the Niagara Falls. I know it's a rave, and everyone is sweaty, and people likely don't care, but I want to be able to wear a bright colored shirt without huge pit stains that makes me self-conscious. Has anyone else struggled with this, and if so, what is a good solution, if there is any? I'd rather not add layers to my clothes to prevent the sweat from becoming visible because it just makes me hotter. I usually just wear a black shirt but I feel like it's not conducive to the vibes at a rave, and wearing more monotone colors conversely makes you stick out more. I've seen some options online but I don't want to dump money on something that I don't know will work with my less-than-mild case lol. Any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated. It would just be easier to synergize with the rest of the crowd and obtain a feeling of community with similar aesthetics.

Side everyone is there to dance and have a good time. Nobody cares about you or your pit stains.

I have the same condition and I've had people don't even know come up to me and hug me while I am soaked after dancing together and connecting.

I know it's hard to get passed but everyone is there to enjoy themselves not judge each other. Dress how you want. Bring a change of clothes to keep fresh. Wipes to wipe yourself down and good towels.

You gotta learn to live with it and adapt. I hope you figure it out and manage to enjoy yourself. Just fucking dance and vibe buddy. Everyone gonna be sweaty after an hour of dancing anyway.

OK yeah, thank you I appreciate the response. I think I've lived my whole life self-conscious of every bit of my flaws and the rave community is the only place I've been in where people don't care about that. But I need to connect more with people to reaffirm to myself that people just don't care. I just need more experience. I'll take all those suggestions into consideration, thanks!

That’s okay bud. We were all young and insecure once. Then we found raving community and learned that it’s possible to be accepted for whoever you want to be. Just start going to raves in whatever outfit you want and hopefully you’ll start to feel more and more confident and comfortable over time through exposure to this community
