as we all know...CFers have some pretty salty sweat!

but, i have not only salty, but a lot of it! i play alot of tennis, and pit stains the size of texas arent that attractive. I wanted to try this stuff called "certain dri" but from what i've read, it can be annying at first, etc. But what i wanted to ask about was that it said it actually helps close the pours in your armpits, and makes them stop sweating. Do y'all think thats okay for us CFers? tell me your thoughts <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> thanksss

At first I was a little concerned that if you dont sweat you will overheat. I am "guessing" that as long as your body can sweat elsewhere sufficiently to cool down that it might be ok. I have never heard of this idea so I am not sure. I guess I wasnt much help, sorry!

hello
i too use to sweat alot.... but mainly (well, only really) under the arms, even on cold days. I use to be sooooo embarressed about getting wet patches but i hated wearing baggy clothing too.
Anyways i started using a product called "dri clor" (thats what its called here in Australia anyways... just a roll on which u apply at night (every nite for teh first week, then every few days).

It really only irritated me fo rthe first few applications, then it stopped bothering me altogether. The first few times my underamrs were really itchy...but this was a small price to pay- ive been using it for over a year now and its great- i wear tigh clothing even in summer and even during sports and dont sweat from my underarms.

Im not sure if it is harmful... never really thought abou tit. Cant be too bad if you dont need a prescription plus i know alot of cf-ers use it.

Good luck and hope this helps

I use Certain Dr because I was having a problem with excessive wetness under my arm even in the winter. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! It totally works. And it works quickly, it does not take weeks and weeks for it to be effective. Use it sparingly and you will get itchiness but that is about it. Do not shave and then use it!!!! Use it on a day you are not shaving! Now I just use it maybe once a week and I barely even need any regular deodarant now. I HIGHLY reccomend Certain Dri. It sounds like Certain Dri is the same stuff that person from Australia was talking about! As far as CF goes I think you are fine as long as you break a normal sweat elsewhere!

Good Luck.

I use certain dri and i love it..just try it, its only 6 bucks!! I wouldn't worry about overheating....bc you only put it on your underarms!! Most heat is expelled from your head anyway....but the rest of your body can still sweat bc certain dri only is to go on your armpits!! good luck....my friends w/o cf 1st told me about it.
