FORUM LINK

Kleinerts has been around for many years and brought many new products to the Hyperhidrosis market.

We have TEN free boxes of their Sweat Shield Wipes to give away to ten lucky recipients. Each box is enough for up to two whole months of protection against sweat. Each box is worth $16.99 so it’s a prize that’s well worth having.

What could these wipes do for you?:

- CLINICALLY TESTED
- NO IRRITATION WITH EXTRA ALOES ADDED
- WATERPROOF THROUGH SHOWERING
- EASY TO APPLY ANYWHERE-CONVENIENT PACKETS
- SAFE FOR UNDERARMS, FACE, HANDS, CHEST, BACK OR FEET
- (PLEASE KEEP AWAY FROM YOUR EYES)

Sweat Shield® safely and effectively treats hyperhidrosis and excessive sweating anywhere with a simple, once-a-week application.

Sweat Shield® is formulated to safely block the sweat glands, protect against irritation, and soothe your skin.

Increase your confidence and save on laundry bills while Sweat Shield® keeps you dry all day, every day!

How Does Sweat Shield® Work?

Sweat Shield® is a liquid formula, soaked on a soft, non-woven pad. Once a week before bedtime, open one of the packets and dab (do not rub) the disposable pad thoroughly under the arms within the hairline. Allow your underarms to air dry for a few minutes, and then go to bed. During the night when your sweat glands are less active, Sweat Shield® will safely form a block in your sweat glands that will last a week. It will not wash off, it does not leave any film, and you won’t even know it’s there, except that you won’t be sweating. In the morning you can shower, shave and get on with your life, sweat free. The Sweat Shield® formula and its application method was created by a clinical research lab who has many years of research experience in the production of antiperspirant products.

This is what www.coolwrapps.com has to say about Hyperhidrosis…
Do you suffer with excessive sweating, down there? You are not alone. Millions of men and women suffer from this, year in, year out. Anybody who has suffered from heavy sweating will know that there are all sorts of other problems that constant moisture causes, chafing, itching, soreness, irritation, rashes, infection etc.

The Wrapp is unisex, it fits both women’s and men’s briefs comfortably, no more chafing elastic to cut into your delicate, sore skin.

The Wrapp has been tested by both men and women. Once they’re in place, you forget they’re there, leaving you fresh and confident. It doesn’t matter how much you sweat or what triggers it, the Wrapp can be worn by anyone with any level of sweating.

“I got my Wrapps last week, and have used them most days since – it’s been as hot as 36 here this week – and I am VERY impressed!

Was at a friend’s wedding all day and evening last weekend and was dry all day. I’ve been amazed, it’s not only me that stays dry but the Wrapp itself; in terms of moisture you’d never know you had another layer on, and it also keeps things completely odour-free.

Denise, you are a genius Certainly money well spent and one less thing for me to worry about every summer, which is a huge relief. Thanks so much ladies for introducing me to this marvellous product.”

Sun, Sea….and Sweat!

Forum link

Most of us can’t wait for summer to arrive, but for many, the rising temperatures exacerbate an embarrassing problem.

39% of the UK population perspire weekly to an extent that it’s of discomfort to them.* And with sweat stains rated ‘most embarrassing personal problem’ in a study by Perspirex, it’s no wonder sufferers go to extreme lengths to cover up their problem.

Perspirex

Top 5 Most Embarrassing Personal Problems

1. Sweat stains

2. Bad acne

3. Dandruff

4. Overweight

5. Cold sores

Thank goodness Perspirex is on hand to provide best-in-class protection from sweat and odour. Its patented clinically proven formula reduces sweat by up to 65% – this is 3 x as effective as ordinary antiperspirants!

Simple to use, one application will work for up to 5 days and its perfume-free, non-staining formulation is gentler on the skin than other aluminium chloride-based products.

What’s more, Perspirex are so confident about their product, that they have just launched a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Either you are 100% satisfied or you can get your money back!

Usage: Use once to twice weekly on-going or before special/stressful occasions.

Perspirex 25ml costs £7.69 and is available from leading supermarkets and chemists nationwide.

The patented clinically proven formula of Perspirex demonstrates 65% sweat reduction for at least 72 hours after each application. Tests performed by the institute Dr. Schrader International GmbH, Germany.

Internationally recognised classification for antiperspirants (the American FDA) states that for a product to be categorised as an ‘antiperspirant’, it must achieve a 20% sweat reduction.

If an antiperspirant demonstrates a 30% sweat reduction it may be classified as ‘Extra effective’.

*Perspirex Sweat Study – conducted online by MyResearch on behalf of Riemann & Co among 2,043 persons aged 15-60 years.

How does it work?

Caused by hyperactivity in sweat glands, excessive perspiration can be experienced by anyone, at any time. Perspirex works so effectively thanks to its alcohol-based, aluminium chloride and lactate solution. This reacts with the water in the sweat gland to form a temporary plug to halt sweat production. Unlike water-based antiperspirants that quickly cease to be effective, the Perspirex formulation keeps on working until the plug is naturally dispelled over the course of a few days with the natural shedding of dead skin cells.

Do you want the chance to try Perspirex absolutely free?

Very Sweaty Betty have teamed up with Perspirex and have ten full sized packs to give away free!

Here’s how you can win your Perspirex:

Send an email to perspirex@verysweatybetty.com and enter ‘giveaway’ in the subject line.

You must include your VSB forum name in the body of the email.

You can enter as many times as you like!

Successful applicants will be chosen at random and notified accordingly.  This giveaway is valid until 31st July 2011.

Good luck to all who enter this competition!

Please be aware this promotional giveaway is only valid if you live in the UK.

Hyperhidrosis is a skin disease.  It can be generalised or localised to specific parts of the body.  Hands, feet, armpits, and the groin area are among the most active regions of perspiration due to the relatively high concentration of sweat glands; however, any part of the body may be affected.

Hyperhidrosis can also be classified depending on whether it is a congenital (hereditary) or an acquired trait.  Primary hyperhidrosis is found to start during adolescence or even before and seems to be inherited as a genetic trait.  Primary hyperhidrosis must be distinguished from secondary hyperhidrosis, which can start at any point in life.  The latter form may be due to a disorder of the thyroid or pituitary gland, diabetes mellitus, tumors, gout, menopause, certain drugs or mercury poisoning.  It can be a symptom  of temporary illnesses like colds and ‘flu or hormonal changes such as periods or menopause.  Hyperhidrosis can also be divided into Palmar/Plantar (symptomatic sweating of primarily the hands or feet), Axilliary (armpit sweating), Facial/Cranial (sweating from the face/head region), Gustatory (sweating whilst eating/digesting a meal) or generalised hyperhidrosis which covers sweating from any other area in your body.

Everybody sweats, it’s a normal function which serves to cool us down so we don’t overheat.  Hyperhidrosis is caused by an overactive (ie broken) thermal regulator (the bodies thermostat).  In the simplest terms, in a Hyperhidrotic’s body, their thermostatic control is stuck on the hottest setting.

A medical diagnosis should always be sought, but if you sweat to an excessive level, there are now many ways of dealing with it.

About Sweaty Betty.
We are a small group of normal people who just happen to sweat a lot.  We’re not alone – millions of people worldwide suffer from this acutely embarrassing  and socially isolating condition, but, because of the negativity and misconceptions surrounding sweating and being sweaty, they attempt to keep it to themselves and suffer in silence.  As with all taboo issues, it only takes a few like-minded people to get together to blow a taboo wide apart and tell it how it really is.  Hence www.verysweatybetty.com was born.

We are committed to raising awareness of Hyperhidrosis and dispel the stigma and ignorance surrounding sweat and sweating.

Don’t allow your sweat glands to control your life any longer, please join us and find out how you can take control and start living your life again.
