Excessive underarm sweating? Remedies, ways to hide/get stains out..help?

Hey there! There are a few options that can help. You can try clinical strength deodorant, the best results work when you apply it after a shower right before bed so it has time to sink in. Sweat stains can actually be caused by the deodorant itself if you slather on too much. For a quick fix baby powder can help, rub it into areas you normally wouldnt use deodorant like the thighs, back of neck, lower back, ect... For underarms, they make underarm garmet protectors, a company called Hollywood Secrets makes a popular one. I know in NY they sell them in Duane Reade, but you can get them online. I post a link below. If you can't get them, you can try thin panty liners, but be careful! They tend to fall out if they aren't really adhesive. You can carry cotton balls soaked in toner (not vinegar!) and apply and let dry on the go. For the long term, as odd as this sounds, Botox injections under the arms prevents sweating. It usually costs about $400 and last almost a year, you can call your local dermatologist to find her rate. They do this with those suffering from hyperhydrosis. Wear loose clothing that don't grab directly under the arms, tanks are the best! Wear black if all else fails! And remember, this is a super common problem so don't stress it too much! Hope this helped a bit :)
