Review on 🌱 Optimized PURAX Adhesive Underarm Piece for Advanced Antiperspirant Benefits by Jessica Brown

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Keeps what it's supposed to: Deodorant and antiperspirant

Okay, I'm sweating a lot. SUPER over the top. I can roll up a paper towel, put it under the hole, it will get wet in 10 minutes. That being said, as per the instructions, these pads started sweating after about 5 hours, which I think is pretty good considering how much I sweat. Luckily I have a spot at work where I can easily replace them - if you don't they may not suit you. They're really painful to remove and the stain turns red like you're wearing a band-aid on your armpit, but that's to be expected. If you apply it in the wrong place in your armpit, the friction can cause itching. My problem with them is that they tell you not to wear deodorant with them. If you sweat like me and it goes through a pad, you smell it. Not much, but possible. I'm going to try deodorant tomorrow and if it works I'll keep buying it despite the cost ($20 a week). The positives outweigh the negatives: Being able to shrug your armpits without creating a huge, ugly puddle underneath is HEAVEN! Edit 2018: My excessive sweating is gone. I discovered that I have Hashimoto's disease - thyroid antibodies in my blood are attacking my thyroid, causing me to develop hypothyroidism. My thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) was tested many times before I was diagnosed and nothing showed up. In 2015 my TSH got very high and I had a thyroid antibody test. Switched to Synthroid, since then excessive sweating is no longer a problem. I'm not saying this is a common problem, but it's worth checking if you've exhausted all other possibilities.
