Since most of my readers know I don’t shy away from most subjects most people find embarrassing, I have no problem sharing the fact that I sweat something fierce. I have always been this way. I can’t even really use “regular” deodorant/antiperspirant because it is not effective enough for me. I was using a brand called Mitchem because I found it was the most reasonable in both price and effectiveness.
I thought I would give the brand Sweat Block a chance because it promised to get rid of even the most heavy unwanted sweating for several days with no need to reapply.
Sweat Block was featured on the Racheal Ray show and tested by firefighters!
Sweat block is not like other antiperspirants. It is not in a stick form, but rather a towelette that you pat on.
First you start with a clean, dry underarm area. Next you pat on the product and allow to dry. You pat the product on because it is so strong it could irritate if you rubbed.
I did this “experiment” and let me tell you-I was super impressed. The amount of time it works for it is individual, but for me, I went a full 4 days without re-applying. I did not notice any sweating at all from the region it was applied during that time. This was a very strange feeling because the week I used it, it was over 100 degrees outside and I was sweating everywhere else!
On the 5th day, I only was slightly moist in my underarm area. I had no need to apply deodorant as I found it kept odor at bay for me.
You can use this in conjunction with a deodorant if you find you need odor protection still.
I did not have any irritation with my skin.
I was very happy to see Sweat block in my local Walmart for a very reasonable price. Each box contains 8 towelettes and each towelette can last up to a week, depending on the individual. You can purchase Sweat Block on the website for $15.99.
