Summer outside weddings- let's be honest about our sweat

Bewwwwwwwwwwwwwb sweat, oh I hate it. I don't really have any helpful advice but I too would like to know how to conquer bewwwwwwwwwwwb sweat.

Certain dri. Someone mentioned it on another post here....

LOL Jamie!

Arm & Hammer deodorant. I prefer the unscented. Get the one for men. Same price, same (non) scent and you get more ounces. =)

Ugh, I sweat like crazy. I do not "glisten" in humidity. Honestly the only thing that works for me is to only wear water-based lotions on my skin, and to wear long flowy light cotton dresses. Like natural A/C.

When I was a cheerleader we actually wore cotton pads in strategic places to soak up the sweat. There were these pads with elastic straps on them that actually hooked over your shoulder so you didn't pit out through your uniform. Obviously that won't work for a strapless/sleeveless dress but maybe in your bra? Like - a cotton "chicken cutlet"? Push up and absorption all in one.

My least favorite sweat is the back sweat and the behind-the-knee sweat. Always makes it look like I've just peed my pants. So flattering. Ugh.

Did I mention we just moved from Colorado to Tennessee??? lol.

LMAO at "glisten" My mommom always said ladies don't sweat. Like hell, I sweat like a pig.

Another option to avoid the dreaded bubbie sweat is Lady Monkey Butt powder. I swear the stuff is a godsend for under the bubbies and to prevent chafing. We ride all summer long and I have had massive lakes in my bras and grannie panties.

I also agree with Kris. Use pads in discreet areas.

Oh man, Carole! Motorcycle sweat is the WORST. Motorcycle beauty in general actually. This is new territory for me. I never know what I'm going to look like when I hop off that thing after an hour or two.

I will have to investigate this Lady Monkey Butt powder.

The things we go through. lol.

Dont forget when its that hot out, and you sweat like that to take it easy on the alcohol, it'll get to you faster, I only drink wine spritzers when its hot out (sorry Im no help on the sweat part,but Im definetly taking notes on what people recommend)

Lol i warned FH that i will b sweating like a pig ( where did that saying come from? iv never noticed a pig to sweat? ) anyway, especially at the ceremony. im gonna be soooo nervous and august in colorado. i told him to be prepared for my sweaty palms and to let me go under him arms when we hug as we kiss haha we got it planned!

What about clinical strength secret and put a little baby powder too.. i've heard works

Kris....I used to wear make-up when we ride. For long distance rides, I totally stopped. I was breaking out. Imagine a 50 year old with zits.

I have been dying to try Clinical Strength Secret. Does anyone know how good it works?

GBAC, August in Colorado is beautiful. Try August in Tennessee. Holy effing swamp-ass batman.

Carole, I have no idea how to approach the motorcycle hair.............it gets pretty swampy under that helmet. My usual cornstarch in the roots trick doesn't work. Plus it can be difficult to discreetly stash cornstarch in your saddlebag.

OMG! Christy. Have you ever tried cornstarch? That's another trick I learned in cheer and gymnastics. Cornstarch rubbed into the fabric of our outfits kept the sweat from really soaking in so badly. Also rubbed into the skin a bit - like on the back of the knees and inside palms. Although you would want to test it on a small area of the fabric first and get it wet. You don't want a clumpy mess in case it repels or something. I think a lot depends on the fabric of your dress.

Cornstarch is fabulous. I use it like dry shampoo when my roots get oily too.

These are great posts! Cornstarch?? How funny! I got that stuff stocked up (stockpile from a coupon website) I can give EVERYONE a bag of it!! HAHAHAHA

I guess the best thing to do is buy every deodorant on the market and get outside and sweat!
