Sweat

Since I started T I have been sweating so much! Is it the same for any of you? Not sure whether this is just through hormones/ wearing a binder/genetics or a combination of all 3

What do you guys do/use to stop this?

I've always sweated a lot but I have noticed my sweat smells different now.

Just curious, have you had your blood pressure checked lately to make sure it's not high?

i found that i have to wear deodorant now where as previously i didn't really have to. its great that i dont sweat. until its summer. i overheat and get massive headaches.

[ty.to.the.man]

i've noticed that too, i definitely sweat more than pre-t. my hands now get super sweaty lol its not fun

Yup. Buckets now as compared to cups before. So I've always been sweaty, but now it's just ridiculous. Also I would go with it being a combination of all three things. That's what I think for myself anyway.

Didn't really consider this before, but it's really going to suck. I'm pre-T and I already sweat buckets and use clinical strength deodorant. I'm hoping to start T in a month or two, when summer starts. Yey. I hate Las Vegas so much.

If they thought I was a mushroom before, just wait and see guys.

For me it's mostly the fact that I live somewhere much hotter and wear binders. Without the binder I sweat about the same as before. I've always been a sweaty person though. Most folks in my family are.

An interesting read:  http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/20/do-women-sweat-differently-than-men/

What the researchers found was that the fit men, unsurprisingly, perspired the most, significantly more than the fit women, especially during the more intense exercise. But the athletic men weren't using more sweat glands. The fit women had just as many glands active and pumping; they produced less sweat from each gland. Meanwhile, the unfit women, by a wide margin, perspired the least, especially during the strenuous cycling, and became physiologically hotter — their core temperatures rising notably — before they began to sweat at full capacity. These results, the scientists concluded, "revealed a sex difference in the effects of physical training on the sweating response" and, just as important, "a sex difference" in "the control of sweating rate to an increase in exercise intensity." In other words, the women, whether fit or not, were less adept of ridding themselves of body heat by drenching themselves in sweat....

In an experiment conducted decades ago, male athletes were injected with estrogen and sweated less during subsequent exercise.

It seems to me the transmen taking T would sweat more than ciswomen.

Yeah, sweating more here too and it's perfectly normal and expected.

I use "Secret", it really does work. My step dad even uses it. No problems. I've tried a lot of different ones and that's what actually works, hardly any of the other types do (most don't work at all, I've found).

Wish they'd make a "Secret" for men, though. I vote for a kind of Irish Spring aroma lol.

My dad used "Secret" women's deodorant. He said it was the only one that didn't give him a rash.

I buy either Degree or Speed Stick (there is a Speed Stick that is Irish Spring scent).

The thing I have noticed is you have to get an Antiperspirant/Deodorant. Some are just Deodorants and they don't work at all.
