pregnancy and perspiration

Since I have been pregnant my deodorants are not doing the job ( a bit embarrassing really)

I am always scared when i go out I will have the marks under my arms, i dont seem to smell ( thank god !!) it is bad enough

Have you had this problem? Which deodorant do you use to help contril this?

I've never been a sweaty person but when I was pregnant I found I was generally hotter and did sweat more and this is still the same 4 months after giving birth and another friend of mine has said the same.

I use the Dove sticks (not roll on) and have never had a problem with wet patches or marks even when I've felt really hot. (H also uses a Dove stick and recommended it to a sweaty mate on a lads weekend and said sweaty mate is no longer as sweaty apparently!)

thanks Lisaloulou., i will try these

Strangely I had the opposite.  I stop perspiring when pregnant and within 2 weeks of having a baby I start perspiring again!

I second the Dove stick, it is fab! It actually recommends you apply it on a night time, and it lasts 24 hours, even after showering! I certainly have no problems doing this, and can still smell the deoderant the next day without putting more on in the morning

Not during pregnancy, after having baby I had one sweaty armpit [mortified]- only Mitchum worked for me.

I found I had ridiculous night sweats during pregnancy and for months afterwards my temperature control went right up the spout.

I just used normal deodorant applied more regularly.

WSS, although my usual deodorant stopped working in pregnancy too, and I now have one sweaty armpit! (the things we admit to here! " />)

I use this and it's fab...

Didn't notice it getting worse when I was pregnant but have always been paranoid about being a sweaty betty!
