Susan's Place Transgender Resources

First off, im very sorry for all these topics by me, new things pop into my mind everyday. Sorry!

Ok now for my question, On HRT did you sweat less?? Does the smell change?
Sorry for this topic, but I really want to know.

Thankss :D

I would like to know too because I have hyperhydrosis and it's very annoying.  :eusa_silenced:
I would like to get botox eventually but it costs quite a bit =/.

Yes and Yes in my case anyway. When I sweat it's never enough to roll down my forehead.

Your temperature regulation and metabolism are very different.
You feel overall colder (but you get used to that), You blush more instead of sweat, and your body odour changes and you sweat alot less as dose your sensitivity towards BO smells (You will notice the smell of sweaty men working)

Before I would get reasonably sweaty like guy sweaty now the most I ever get is that I can feel it on my forehead but I never like drip sweat... ever... but my face dose turn red when I'm hot or cold now and it's more obvious when I blush.

I think we will all vary a bit. I think maybe I'm a bit different in this respect anyway.

From what I can recall I think the smell certainly changes as does the sensitivity to other people's odours. My partner says I have always had a very reassuringly girly smell! I can sense the pheremones in other people too.

But as to the amount of moisture - well lets just say that I've just come off my elliptical trainer from a 500 calorie intensive burn workout and I'm drenched! I'm just cooling off and calming down for a moment before showering, it's dripping off my forehead and I keep having to wipe the keys... But then my mother was also a profuse perspirer So this is a real YMMV situation.

I think I sweat more. I sweat really easily now.
I also feel warmer too.

I totally smell different. Less funky. Genitalia smell very different, stronger, but more fem.

HRT for around 2 months (Spiro for 5 months). I sweat less than I use to, enough difference to make me think it isn't just coincidence.  Smell... I'd say if anything it's more pleasant? I'd definitely say less intense though, possibly the result from less sweating though.

Since some others mentioned it, I'm not any more sensitive to how other people smell.

I reckon I smell really good. My new girl smells really good too. I never noticed before just how good women smell.

Me too. They always smelled good but now they are even better.

I noticed within the first few weeks that my perspiration patterns changed. I didn't perspire as much, and very little, if at all under the arms. And yes, the female pheromones do make your perspiration smell much better. (I certainly noticed with me ^_^)

I always hated the smell of my sweat...not BO because I shower at least once a day, but it always smelt wrong. I used to sweat loads...i mean loads and loads and loads...i wouldn't even have to do anything. however I think that may have been more to do with anxiety than anything because I've noticed that I'm sweating a lot less even without being on HRT.

the fact that I smelled differently was the very first physical result of HRT that I noticed, very early into it. I seem to sweat more in the chest area now but then I didn't wear bras before either lol

I know I'm a lot more sensitive to pheromones, especially mens, which have a much different effect on me now than they used to. >:-)

I have yet to see any reduction in sweat volume. I have noticed less smell and now my nips are very sore most fof the time.

I still tend to sweat about like I did pre-HRT but now my sweat has no smell. I always smell nice and fresh no matter how much I am sweating.

Grr, I can only say the opposite. I don't have to sweat to stink after a few hours. I miss the no stink part of no hormones but that is minor compared to the rest.

Stinky men. *sniff* *sniff* hehe

At least I admit it. Most say they smell like manly men.

Deodorant can only do so much and aftershave/cologne add a little.

All I know is that I sweat 10 times more under my boobs now. My belly is always slick from sweat coming from under my boobs. Wet bras  :(

I sweat the same or more. Deo doesnt seem to work at all.

I'm going to see a dermatologist next month finally
