Which deodorant do you use to help contril this?   Moz

  Contact 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!)   Lou Lou Belle Designs - handcrafted jewellery and hair accessories   www.louloubelle.co.uk   lisa@louloubelle.co.uk   Facebook

  Jefna Joined on 05-Jan-2005 United Kingdom Posts 1,232	Contact 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 Mammy to Abigail Lily, born 6th June 2007

  Marley Joined on 23-Sep-2006 United Kingdom Posts 4,426	Contact 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. H x
