I have found that the only thing that works for me is Clinical Secret. Expensive yes, but priceless too! One swoop, each breast and I will be dry all day. I know that there are other clinical brands now but the only one I have tried is Secret.

I cannot stand an underwire bra (can’t figure out who came up with that particular torture device) and will go to extremely long lengths to find bras that do not have them. Easier said than done!

I have hidradenitis suppurativa and I will go to the ends of the earth to avoid sweat in the under breast area. Sweating under the breasts cause huge boil like area that can linger a half a year or more each.

I dust plenty of baby powder under ‘the girls’ and put on my bra. Then I take two highly absorbent paper towels, and fold or roll them into long, once-inch strips. I put one strip under each boob. Kind of like an underwire made of paper towelling. If done carefully, each piece will be firmly anchored by your bra. After the workout, toss out the wet paper towel strips and your bra is clean and dry.

Another thing is to try and check what the bras are manufactured because many synthetic fibers cause sweat, sometimes cotton as opposed to nylon may not look the most attractive, but everyday use it will be better.

Bacteria can be a problem on the breasts and under the arms, but if you are showering daily and using good products which are anti bacterial and not laden with fragrances, your risk of bacterial infection will be minimal.

Finally don’t forget, while we all hate to smell bad and the thought of sweat can make us feel insecure, sweat is a very good way the body excretes chemicals and toxins, we should actually all welcome the idea of sweating once a day, and increase our water intake, so many of us simply do not drink enough.

Goodluck girls
