Q: Avoiding sweating during hot summer?

Weather has been quite hot lately, and me keep sweating non stop. It's normal you say, but sometimes my armpits are so moist than I don't even want to high five people, or just be at the bottom of the high five, so I don't have to raise my arm. My chin is also double dripping because of my jaw bone structure. And let's not talk about the feet! I wear black or brown shoes at work, and you can hear a squish when I walk past the cubicles because it's so mushy!

A Serbian coworker told me that using baking soda helps a lot to absorb moisture, and that he keeps a longitudinal pouch that travels along his toes, and he literally floods his shoes with baking soda. "It feels like I'm walking at the beach" he always says,, with a gigantic smile. He covers himself with baking soda every morning, and he gets a lot of women because he's tall, muscular, and completely white.

The thing is that because of my dancing habits, the baking soda would fall, so it's not really an option for me. It's not a problem at home, as I would stand on the chair with my red satin cape and my Chinese girlfriend would rub me off of my sweat with a Shamwow i brought back from 'Montana, 'merica, but it's a real hassle when i'm at work.

So for when I'm going out, may it be for work, dancing or jogging to get my beer at my friend's house, any tips as to how to avoid being a replica of the Niagara Falls, 'merican side? Any halp would be greatly appreciated!

Sweating is a natural function of the body to cool down and release salt and urea! You need to sweat.. or else your body would overheat. You could try spraying your entire body with an anti-perspirant spray.. but that would just make you all sticky.. and the shamwow isn't going to halp in that situation.

Carry around a fan! Laughing out loud

sweating helps cool off our body .. at the same time results in loss of water so drink water as much as possible

First Milord Putine, I think we need to consider that you may be suffering from a condition known as 'hyperhydrosis', which is overactive sweat glands. It affects about 18% of people globally, and sadly there is no cure.

My own personal advice is: BABY TALC! And lots of it! For a start it smells much nicer than baking soda, and if you fall into an oven you won't start getting all yeasty and rise. What you have to do is administer the talc to every potentially sweaty section of your body, paying particular attention to the thorax and armpits, or 'Madeline's Gusset' as it's known colloquially in the medical world. Once you look like you are the lone survivor from an explosion in a chalk factory, you have reached optimum coverage, and you will stay dry and fresh all day, like a brand new panty-liner.

Also, if you want to get REALLY Arnold Schwarzenegger on it, you can opt for botox injections in your armpits which inhibit the sweat glands and stops you sweating FULL STOP for up to 6 months. However, a side-effect of this is the sweat will drip out from somewhere else, perhaps your feet, or if you are really unlucky maybe your 'Tiny Tim' as they say colloquially in the medial world.

I just KNOW that this would be selected as 'Best Answer', but those flipping moderators have removed this option!
