Unfortunately, the extra shirt won't work for , as he wears his back brace with an undershirt underneath it to absorb the sweat. This makes it even worse that we are in FL with the heat. He can't get the back brace back on correctly by himself. Kim C. > > Kim - is using an anti-perspirant/deodorant or just a > deodorant.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Kim, You can always visit us in Monterey CA! I think we are lucky to hit 60 most days. Good luck finding a good product!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Kim, Have you tried Mitchum? When I was a teen, I perspired so much that I had to use that to help. I was so embarrassed by the sweat stains under my arms! That was the only thing that worked, besides going to a doctor for a prescription. But I still think that most of the problem is just teenage boy. They do have their own, particular smell. I'm glad I teach primary grades now. Even my third grade boys have a certain sweaty smell, but it's much better than that of the older kids. Jodi Z P.S. I saw on TV that Kleenex now makes a disposable wet cloth that can be taken with you. When I originally suggested a cloth, I was only aware of the ones for kids. At least there are grown-up ones now that are not associated with toilet paper (like Cottenelle). Imagine the ridicule of the kids saw that in his bag!
