Sweating...Certain Dri
Permalink Closed

 


so it's that time of the year when the sun comes out, humidity, etc....


not that i sweat anymore than the next person, but what do you girls use in the summer to prevent sweating?  i tried certain dri ages ago, but i never got the shaving/certain dri timing right(didn't try too hard either).  should i try again with it or what else should i try??

Definitely give the Certain Dri another go - I've had a bit of trouble coordinating the application time since I shower/shave at night, so I just put in on in the morning as soon as I get up so it has plenty of time to dry before I put on my regular deoderant and get dressed.  I have the best results from it when I put it on every other day for about a week (or every day if it's very hot outside).

Be careful with this stuff.  I got a little over-zealous with it before my friends summer wedding (I was a bridesmaid) and gave myself a chemical burn around the edges of my armpits I think if you are careful about the area of application, you should be fine, though

Well, it's pretty harsh stuff - as long as your skin isn't super-sensitive and you don't apply too much or too frequently to start, you should be fine.


I don't *think* it'll burn holes all the way through your pits . . .

I agree with Leah.I put it on about every 3 days.Works like a charm.Sometimes it burns for a few minutes but I grin and bear because I love the results.

I have used this the past few years.  It's sporadic though, because I can use it for a week or so and then I could honestly go without anti-persperant or deodorant at all for a few weeks.  I don't know, maybe I sweat more at a certain hormonal point or something, but that's how it worked.  I haven't used it in a while because I think my skin has gotten a lot more sensitive lately.  And be warned about it--I can handle the burning pain, but it left bumps all under my arms and they kept burning and itching and took FOREVER to go away.  Is that what a chemical burn is?  Hmm. . .

ejc yours doesn't sound like a chemical burn, it sounds like an allergic reaction!  I had a bright red rash looking spot under my arm on the skin surrounding the armpit that was super dry and painful.  


It was probably my fault, though, as  I was very sloppy about putting it on because I was sharing a room with 4 other bridesmaids and was a bit embarrassed to be using it!


I would use it again, though.  Just be more careful
