Yes, perimenapause can make you sweat like a pig! I'm 40 and mine (and a couple of my GFs) all started about age 35 with the stuff.

Oh my, seems like the gawd awful sweating would kick in wearing the nicest silk blouse on the way to work. WITH the car windows rolled down in the middle of winter (coatless) to try and not have silk stinky sweat pits by the time I got to the office.

The high aluminum content is not good, but does work for not sweating. One of the sweating GFs told me about Certain Dri. It comes in a roll on and you use it at night. About every other night. DO NOT SHAVE. It will burn like a son of a bleep.

I don't use it anymore. I don't use any deorderant/antiper at all now. That part of things has calmed down. I still get the night time sweats. But, just kick the covers on and off etc.

Personally... I think stinking and using no deorderant at all works best for me. It's helped to simply my life...

Only those people who really really love me stay around long enough with the stink. Those who I want/need limited interaction with do the minimum (and run from the stink asap). But, I only get more wharped in my age. What do I know...

I also agree with lph... it's not too much to talk about at all for here. My first desperate "HELP ME" post was 'my saddle is giving me bleeding abrasions on my labia minora"... so, BO is cake, baby.
