Did you rest them too long on a hot stove again?

My armpits usually do not get sweaty. On a non-humid day my stomach, lower back and ass crack get sweaty (because of the lower back sweat dripping down my ass crack). On humid days my entire torso gets soaked. Then again I walk a couple miles every day in central Texas so I get sweaty unless I take the bus. So I do not see how the microwave device could help me unless I just blast away at my entire torso.

For $3,000, you too can learn about compensatory sweating as you suddenly find you have to lodge a tampon in your ass crack to absorb all the sweat that's dripping down your back now that it's not dripping from your arm pits.

If you want your nuts and armpits to not smell funky when they sweat, wash them in iodine soap or Hibicleanse. They kill the stank bacteria. My balls smell like a fresh-baked muffin and never itch. Iodine soap is gentler, but you usually need to order it online. Hibicleanse is available in any pharmacy.

Remember when people used to use x-rays to check if shoes fit? Me either, that was a long time ago, but they did. They don't do that anymore, because, you know, holy crap, x-rays.

Remember when women used to get their floating ribs removed surgically so that their waists would be smaller? Me either, that was over a hundred years ago. They don't do that anymore because, you know, that was CRAZY.

Microwaving your armpits to kill off the sweat glands so that you don't perspire. Now THAT'S a good idea.

Fresh baked muffin? blueberry by any chance?

That sound much more pleasant than that bleach and ammonia formula I've been using. I'll try it.

What's wrong with sweat in the first place? Most days I go without anti-perspirant and yeah, I get a little sweaty, but unless I drank a fifth of whiskey the night before it's not too offensive. And this is in the FL humidity.

The iodine was ordered by my doctor after I had a MRSA infection on my balls. Hibicleanse works better for bacteria-killing, but burns a bit on sensitive skin, like your nutsack. It's not unbearable, but you should know it's coming. Feels like a bad sunburn for 10 minutes.

Hibicleanse is the brand name. It's kind of a cyan bottle. Pink soap. For the iodine, go to amazon and search for "iodine scrub." It's the soap. Don't get "iodine solution." That doesn't have soap. It comes in smaller yellow bottles or large clear ones. Or ask your pharmacist. Scrub, not solution.

Whatever you do, make sure to wash your hands before you go to the bathroom, not just after.

I realize you're probably joking, but in case you're not, you do realize that other people can smell your body odor long before you can smell it, right?

Conversely, you could just go to your local 24hour fitness and take a swim in the heavily chlorinated pool.

I used to sweat almost continuously from my armpits. After several years, I realized that I'm allergic to antiperspirants and that they actually cause me to sweat.

Is that true? I've never thought of that. Every once in a while I will spray myself down with some Axe, though.

My left nutsack swelled up like a playground kickball, full of blood and pus. The doctors would say, "please have a seat" and i'd say, "I can't sit down.". I had to hold my balls in my hands when I walked. My PCP, a woman, took one look and said, " you poor thing! We have to get you to the urologist!". (thank God for her.). An hour later the urologist was injecting my balls with anesthetic and squeezing the pus out. Go search for MRSA on YouTube, then imagine that's your balls.

Sweet dreams! :p.

Huh...I hadn't thought of that. I don't know that I perspire all the time, but it happens enough even when using clinical strength stuff that it's a bit of a bother. I'll have to look into this.

remember the fluoroscope? people were told that was perfectly safe too. And the make-up that had radioactive isotopes in it, to help keep your skin looking young and fresh. the more things change, the more they stay the same i guess.

After you shower just rub on some Gold Bond powder. You'll stay dry for hours.

Not just the smell, but the appearance. If you have to give a presentation or teach a class, it can be really embarrassing to lift your arms and show everyone your sweat spots. I know from my experience as an audience member that if the presenter has big sweat spots on his shirt, it can be distracting.

That's kind of true, actually, as humans we have a tendency to pay too much attention to sweat. However, that likely is instinctual, as perspiration is one of the many ways you can figure out a person's physical and emotional state. There's a reason GSR tests are included in the polygraph.
