I have been suffering from sweaty armpits for a while. Nothing I cannot handle.
I have read thst the extra male hormone in the peri stage can cause the sweaty armpits.
This is not something I usually suffer from but now into peri 4 to 6 years it is happening.
Just thought I would share this with you as it's good to talk and it may help someone from feeling alone.
Love to all at the forum.❤❤❤❤❤❤

I wonder if that is the same with your sweating logonberry? That extra male hormone presence?
It's really odd isn't it. These changes. I quite liked being as I was before, not this sweaty person!!!!! I can control it with mitchum deodorant but it's still odd.
I hope you get your sweating under control. I use sudocrem when I have a problem from IBS. It helps a lot. But I have found coconut oil is better. I just put some on a cotton wool pad and wipe with it.
Why don't you try some coconut oil. I've also conquered vaginal dryness with coconut oil. And it has got my psoriasis down to next to nothing.
It's pretty powerful as the vag dryness caused swelling and pain. Within four days of using the oil it was gone!!!
Keep the oil in your airing cupboard do not doesn't solidify.

Hiya ladies. I posted about this recently. I suddenly noticed a very strong body odour from armpits that I've never had before.even when working out and which came back straight after showering. And my usual anti perspirant wasnt touching. . I am surgically post meno so I was on a sachet of testogel a week. I stopped it for other reasons plus my blood test showed it was over range and the strong smell has gone. dont get me wrong I'm sweating a lot still and I'm not saying it smells like flowers but the pungent odour has gone. Xx

just knowing this is somewhere to come to for some friendly help and advice is reassuring and helpful

Logonberry, yes the forum is such a comfort to me too.
I buy from.Morrisons, large tub for ?5. Coconut cooking oil. Purely coconut.
It's in the European isle with the Polish food etc. Best value I have found.
Honestly, when my IBS gives me diarohea, I am in pain. But after I have wiped with the oil on a cotton wool pad after using tissue I am in no.pain whatsoever. So if the oil prevents that pain it must be powerful.
And that vag dryness I had was torture. But the oil sorted that out.
Try it, I really hope it helps you. Also if you use It to wash with, well what I mean is put it on before you shower in the affected area. Seems to protect the skin.

Brill, I will def find some. I'm home shielding alongside my husband at mo so will see what I can find in the next ASDA Delivery

Coconut Oil won't replace oestrogen which is usually the cause of dry vaginal area. What is coconut oil anyway ::) ........ we use coconut 'milk' in Indian cookery but that's because the pith/white centre is crushed - it's not milk as such but I love it as a drink ;)
It's all Trial and Error!
