Promising review: "I used this product on my 10-year-old son. He sweats A LOT on his hands. He would tell me that he was embarrassed at school and he had problems making friends. My son told me he had never shook a hand outside of mine ever before in his life...it broke me. As a father, I knew I had to fix this. I set an appointment up with his doctor and got nowhere. The doctor said it's normal and should go away in the coming years. I asked about surgery and they said it would be around $10,000, so I started saving. A couple of weeks went by and I came across this product I asked my son if he was OK with trying it and he desperately said yes. We put it on and his hands are completely dry now. When it worked, he started practicing shaking hands and high-fives with his brother. It's been two weeks now and it is working AMAZING." —HECTOR LORENZO

Promising review: "I have the worst oily skin and not only does this remove the oil but it leaves my skin looking matte for hours. Even sweating profusely in the Midwest sun it controls all the glistening on my face." —Sunshine

Promising reviews: "I’m kind of obsessed with this stuff I use it for everything. I particularly like it in the summer when I’ve been sweating and hot. If I spray this on my skin, I do not break out." —Mrs. Mom

"I absolutely love this stuff! I break out so badly on my chest and back, especially in the summer when I have been sweating. This stuff has been a game changer for me. I spray it on anytime I have been sweating and every morning when I get up. I have noticed a huge improvement in my skin, and it doesn't irritate my skin at all." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This deodorant is amazing! I struggle with excessive sweat and often get patches on my underarms of my clothes which causes me a lot of anxiety- this gets rid of the sweat patches completely after a few days of use but reduces dramatically on the first day of use! This is a total game changer for me- most products I’ve used for this outcome have caused me a lot of itching and pain on the underarms this I don’t feel at all and smells great too! Would recommend 10000%" —Mrs S

Promising reviews: "This stuff is amazing! Settle in as this will be a long review. I work in a hot sweaty factory. I never had problem with smelly feet until I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and had to get special shoes. Now my feet stink all the time. They sweat so much in these shoes that I can smell my own feet and it's disgusting. I also have to sit in a pile of my own sweat all day. My panties are usually soaked with sweat and underneath my bra sweats so much that I can wring out my bra when I get home. My bra stinks so bad because it's just full of sweat. Deodorant and FDS spray can only do so much. So I decided to try Lume. Oh my God, like light and day! I put the Lume on my feet bottoms, tops, between my toes. I put it under my big boobs and in all the cracks and crevices of my woman parts. So I went to work in my hot, sweaty factory and I still sweated all day long. My feet were wet, my bra was wet and my panties were wet. But miraculously there was no smell! None. Nada. This had to be a fluke. So I took a shower and did the same thing. Lume on my feet, under boob and woman parts. I did as much stuff as I could to sweat. I climbed stairs instead of using the elevator, I exerted myself as much as I could. I was a sweaty mess. And no smell! Seriously, no smell. So I decided to really put it to the test. The commercial says this last for like 70 hours. So as hard as it was for me and as gross, I took a shower, put the Lume on and went to work and sweated for 3 days without taking a shower. I did not reapply the Lume. And no smell! No way. Yes way! This stuff is amazing! Amazing! I did test it a few more times and this is what I discovered. It does last for 3 days. If you let it go more than that you will smell like a corpse. On the fourth day it's as if all the smell comes back at once. The stink was unnatural. So don't go more than two or three days without a shower." —Marie

Promising review: "I got this ice roller three days ago and so far I LOVE it! I had a debilitating migraine yesterday and while I cannot say that it cured it, rolling it on my neck and forehead definitely helped. Then today after working in my garden for two hours I came in the house sweating and about to pass out and relief was instantaneous! I love this thing so much I am buying another. Do yourself a favor - just buy one!" —dblchocmint

Promising review: "Wow! Finally a product that actually works!! My hair is coarse and gets extra frizzy in the hot humid summer weather. I was resorting to pulling my hair back all summer until I found this product! It makes my hair soft, silky, and sleek. No frizz. Not heavy. It doesn’t really have a scent, which u prefer. The only thing is to make sure you pay attention to the directions. This product requires heat to make it work. You must blow dry your hair right after application. Once you follow the instructions, viola, the best hair you’ve ever had!" —Andrea N

"This product is absolutely amazing!!! I have super curly hair but I wear it stick straight (go figure). The slightest bit of humidity or sweat and “poof” my hair kinks right up. This product prevents any and all kink. I can go for days and get barely a wrinkle in my hair. I LOVE THIS STUFF!! I highly recommend this product." —phillips

Promising review: "I put this to the test…yes I’ve used it daily. BUT over the weekend I hiked in 90-degree weather with over 50% humidity…for like two hours. I was soaked with sweat. BUT when I got back to the car and looked in the mirror I was shocked to see my eye makeup perfect!! None of it moved! This is a great product…you have a lifelong customer." —Julie East

Promising reviews: "This item does really great. It doesn’t really have a smell but too me that’s fine. Definitely worth the money. I work 10 hour shifts at work where I am sweating a lot. It stays in until I take a shower." —Destin

"This stuff is a miracle, and I plan on buying more to keep in every bag/purse/etc. I have hair that gets very frizzy/curly in the humidity, and was searching for a solution — this stuff literally made my jaw drop. It works!!! It dries soft (unlike most hair sprays) and is easy to apply. And although the box did smell a little funny, the product itself doesn’t smell at all. So happy I found this!!" —Rebecca Thorpe

Promising reviews: "Survived 99% humidity in Florida thanks to these liners. Bought these for a vacation in Florida. I sweat A LOT. It's just the way I'm made. Humidity and heat are miserable for me. Boob sweat rings on my shirts are common and embarrassing. These liners were AMAZING! So comfortable I didn't even notice them except to notice the lack of embarrassing rings and dripping sweat. Make sure to measure to get the right size." —Kindle Customer

"These are great! Wicks all the sweat and makes me not feel gross. They are easy to put on, too." —Kyrie

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes M–XXL and seven color sets).

Promising reviews: "Soft powder, great for night sweats, which is my issue. Eliminates chafing and heat rash for larger breasts. The pump design makes it super easy to use and has less waste. This is definitely something I would purchase again." —Texascj5

"I have tried the bra liners, antiperspirants, all sorts of powders all end up causing irritation/rash, a mess from the powder clumping, or just being uncomfortable. I saw Bust Dust on one of those morning deals, decided to check it out and purchased from Amazon. I figured, what have I got to lose. OMG!!! IT WORKS AND NO IRRITATION/RASH, CLUMPINESS, OR WETNESS!!! I live in Phoenix an as you all know it has been a scorcher of a July 2023 with temps above 115 degrees and a lot of sweating. Bust Dust has kept me dry, my bra dry! I even started putting it on in the bikini area and under my arms. I initially thought the cost was a little high, but not now. You can't put a price on comfort in this miserable heat and to top it off it is cruelty free. I will now be purchasing some of their other products." —E. Conrad

Promising review: "Right out of the package I was in love with my cooling towel. Here I am in my fifties working for the first time ever in manual labor. I am not joking when I say I sweat profusely. This saves me. I run it under cold water, quickly ring it out, and off I go. It's soft enough to wipe over my face over and over and not make it sore. I wear it doubled over and draped over my neck. If I can't get to water and it's beginning to warm up, I twirl it in the air as I'm running down the aisle, and back on it goes. The only thing I wish.. that maybe it was like 6 inches longer. It's a good leangth now but with my weight it only drapes my neck. When I lean over frequently it falls and I'm juggling the towel and whatever I've gone to pick up. I would like to thread one end through the other loosely to avoid that. I am wearing it doubled over though. When it's not then it's too long lol. It hangs down over my shirt and then my reflective vest and shirt become damp. Regardless... I love this towel, and I can't say enough about it." —Kerri Butcher

Promising review: "This product is great! I never knew until now, that there was something I could do about excessive facial sweating. I have always had a problem with a sweaty head and face, and as I've aged it has gotten even worse. I live in the Midwest, and summers can be extremely hot and humid, so I was constantly wiping sweat off my face — especially on the golf course. It's really embarrassing when you're the only one with sweat streaming down your face. With this product, I still feel just as hot, but there is minimal sweating. I find myself wiping my face, only to find there's nothing there to wipe. It works well for me!" —Babalooey

Promising reviews: "I will never use another primer ever again. I rave a lot and this keeps my makeup literally glued to my face. It doesn't matter if I'm dancing, drinking, sweating or in the rain it sticks to my face and literally does not move an inch. This primer combined with the setting spray is unstoppable." —Lilyana

"Wow! Just wow!!!! This stuff is like super glue for YOUR FACE! I got this in preparation for a wedding I am attending... in April... in Arizona... I needed something that will keep everything on my face... stand the test of time so to speak.. well for funsies I decided to play with my new make up... This Primer is hands down the BEST thing I have put on my face to keep make up on there! I was full fledged glam doing laundry and cleaning... breaking a sweat but I tell you what... my make up was impeccable! 10/10 I will be buying this again!" —Jerrica

The battery lasts 3–16 hours, depending on which speed setting you use.

Promising reviews: "Oh my goodness, this neck fan is incredibly cool, amazing, and incredibly comfortable. It has a decent battery life, and as you increase the settings, the air speed increases significantly. I live in South Florida, where the weather is generally pleasant, but I still use this fan for walking, riding my bicycle, and even at work, where the climate is hot and I tend to sweat a lot. However, this fan makes it possible for me to go outdoors and enjoy the weather. It truly keeps me cool, and I highly recommend it." —Neatrose

"My job is physically demanding, not to mention attempting to stabilize my hormones… sweating is an understatement! This was exactly what I was looking for. It has made a remarkable difference. It’s just the right size and has different settings which I love! It is worth the price." —Nice quality, thick and soft

Promising review: "Let me start with, I hate the feeling of product in my hair so dry shampoo is my nemesis. That being said, I can’t live without this. My scalp gets sweaty easily and it sweats a lot. My hair will be soaked in sweat, but this stuff zaps it away instantly. I’ve pushed it to the limit too. It refreshes my 3-4-day hair if I need it to. I was worried about a white cast because I have nearly black hair and it brushes clean without any white spots. And it smells wonderfully fresh and not overwhelming. Highly recommend this." —MrsH

Kleinert's is a small business that has been making moisture-management products since 1869. Today, its products are used by everyone from healthcare professionals and Broadway productions to everyday consumers across North America.

Promising review: "I was really unsure about these at first glance. Each pad only has three adhesive strips which I didn’t think would hold... but they stick to the inside of my shirts very nicely! I saw some other reviews about the size being too small... I actually think they are a perfect size and have the right amount of coverage. Not small by any means/not too big so they fit nicely under short sleeves as well.

I have a pretty physically demanding job where I’m constantly lifting, moving my arms, and sweating. These stay put through my whole shift and I no longer have embarrassing sweat stains. These have been a life saver for me. Highly HIGHLY recommend!" —Ashley D

Promising review: "One of the very few setting sprays that doesn't pill my make up after a few hours. And it also looks great on!! It's not matte or too dewy; it's natural! And for this price I think this one is a new staple in my routine! I don't wear a ton of makeup, but when I sweat (which I sweat A LOT!), I want my makeup to at least stay in place, and this setting spray does just that. Not to mention the quality of the product itself. I don't break out when I use this spray either. Overall, this is a GREAT product, it's easy to use and bring anywhere with you and I will be using it any time I wear any make up. Especially this summer!!" —Morgan Jaynes

Get it from Amazon for $10.82+ (available in various formulas, including dewy, matte, SPF, and microfine, and in multipacks).

Promising review: "This stuff is the best ! I have an apron belly and I live in Hot Alabama and I put this under my belly, armpits, thighs, and my back. When I say I don’t sweat or smell any in the hot 100-degree weather! I use to smell and be soaking wet after work, but this truly does work and will be a repurchase! I also like the fact it comes in a two pack .

Tip : stand over a towel and use a powder puff or something you can out powder on and then dab on you bc it is very messy and you only need a little bit . It absorbs into skin quickly" —Zina

Get it from Amazon for $6.97 (also available in packs of two and 24).

Promising reviews: "Love love LOVE. I sweat, a lot — gross, I know. This is the only thing that keeps my underarms fresh and clean. There is no scent, which is great. I have tried Kosas and a handful of drug store brands, from the ~eco~ ones to Degree. Topicals is the only product I trust and use. —pcaporaso

"Anybody else using this as a deodorant besides me? It’s INCREDIBLE. I was using it to control ingrowns under my arms and began noticing it was controlling my sweat and odor too! I’ve even tried to swap it out for actual roll-on deodorants and I keep coming back to this." —RissaNc

I first started using this a few years ago for summer hiking, and now I can't live without it in the summer months. I sometimes chafe on my arms when I wear a tank top, both hiking and running, but with this, absolutely nothing! It's also great for preventing painful thigh rubbing when I'm wearing dresses, skirts, or short shorts — because I'm one of those people who sweats a lot. It now gets packed as an essential in my "summer-go" bag. Not only am I in less discomfort when I sweat, but I also just feel more put-together.

Promising reviews: "I have THICC thighs and chafe absolutely makes me want to DIE in the summer. This keeps my legs nice and smooth and I'm free to wear all the skirts and shorts that I want. It stays on ALL day no matter how much I move or sweat and no matter how hot it gets. It doesn't leave any type or residue on my clothing or skin and it has no smell. I bought this on a whim and it is one of the best purchases I've ever made." —Nicole

This pocket- (or purse)-sized rechargeable fan offers three different speed settings, a foldable design, and a built-in battery that lasts 8–12 hours (depending on the speed setting). Plus, the safety blades that automatically stop if they're touched. It also has a lanyard for easy carrying!

Promising review: "I bought this since we were going to a Cubs game and it was forecasted to be sunny and close to 100 degrees out. It was the best decision I made. I can’t speak for the mister since I didn’t use it, but the fan itself was awesome. Three different speeds, small enough to fold and put in my small purse, and strong. I wasn’t dripping sweat for once. It lasted the whole game, too. My long hair also got caught in it (my fault) and I was able to easily untangle it." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I am not a big fan of hats in the summertime because my scalp sweats and gets overheated massively, but this was perfect! I wore this on a trip to Punta Cana in the DR in JUNE! This was a cute, fashionable visor-style straw hat. The center was open, so my scalp felt the breeze as I wanted it to. The visor blocked the sun from my face as I needed it to. I love the Velcro adjustable strap for sizing. I was able to tighten it enough to not blow off in the wind and loosen it enough to cause a headache or migraine. Great quality and very flexible. I was able to fold it up tightly to not take up suitcase space but to also not damage or cause permanent creases." —Reese J The Shenanicator

Promising review: "I was skeptical after I sprayed this on my arm in a nice air-conditioned house. It smelled lovely, and a quick sting of mint hit my skin. I was very underwhelmed. It has been a warm day, and I took this outside since I knew I would be sweaty and warm. I sprayed this on my 'underboob' per package instructions. Holy wintery coolness! It’s been 10 minutes, and I’m still feeling the chill. Apparently, it works REALLY well if you’re sweating. It dries almost instantly, and I’m a tingly fresh still." —Michelle

They're also great to keep in your gym bag for a post-workout pick-me-up if you don't have time to shower.

Promising review: "Sometimes when I’m out on a hot day in summer I get sweaty but I’ve already taken a shower that day and cannot be bothered to take another. I feel icky and need a quick cleanse, but do not have energy /desire due to my ADHD to take a whole shower again. These bad boys come in handy a LOT! If I’m absolutely disgusting and sweaty all over, I’ll take an actual shower, but for days when you lightly sweat or get just a little unclean feeling, you just take one of these wipes and clean yourself in the areas you sweated the most. You actually feel CLEAN, which is fantastic as not all wipes are created equally. It’s perfect for intimate times too when you need a quick cleanse and it’s pH-balanced which is an extra great. The smell is super mild as well, extremely faint clean smell. Great value for the amount you get too. Love these and will be buying again for sure!" —HB

Promising review: "I use this product daily because my feet sweat a lot. It's completely transparent when applied, as long as you shake it before use. Otherwise, it creates a whitish film. It controls perspiration and doesn't dry out the feet. It lasts all day. It doesn't stain socks or shoes. It acts as a deodorant, and a bottle for daily use can last up to two months if used sparingly. It's totally worth it, and its transparent appearance even allows you to wear it in open-toed shoes. It also eliminates bad odors." —Mey
