Advantages: Life-Changing

Disadvantages: Temporary Tingling

Im using Driclor for 10 years now. Im writing this review for those put off by stinging/burning experiences.

After years of wearing sanitary towels "secured" with sticky tape under my arms.....i really felt sorry for myself when after restricting my upper body movements, i still had incidents where the pad slipped down a sleeve or down my front and i had to discreetly "catch" it in time before it fell out from under my clothes. This came after years of a sickly smelly perfume deoderant smell with wet or drenched clothing(all before i arrived at work) and some permanently underarm stained/discoloured clothes, not to mention many other socially embarassing sweating situations. Driclor changed my whole life!

The truth is after all this time, i use it infrequently, several times a month at most, i forget sometimes the last application. I remember to reapply when i have felt a little dampness that day, then hey presto dont need to do it again for several days. This happens after long-term use (say 1-3 months).

Before applying Driclor wash under your arms with a bar of soap or shower gel with the palm and fingers of your hand. No cloths or sponges as this rubs and drags on the skin sensitising it more.

Important regarding application: sometimes when im not concentrating or in a hurry, i apply the roll-on everywhere under arm. Dont. Facing a mirror hold your arm up and apply the stick/roll to where the underarm hair grows ONLY, enough so that the area slightly glistens but is not swamped with solution. Applying outside this area is usually how the burning sensation is felt. Inside of this area may cause tingling/itchiness but it will go away.

If you experience the tingling or burning sensation and it bothers you, prior to giving up completely rather than perservering when it does get better (try putting a damp face-cloth under both arm-pits and keeping them there until sensation subsides-instead of washing off the positive effects altogether-chilled cloths from the freezer is even more highly recommended in this case for immediate relief). You could also make the cloths more wet (not dripping) and eventually feel comfort whilst still benefitting from solution.

Also in my opinion, if you experience tingling/itchiness (or not) i would advise generally to apply it as 2nd last thing to do at night, then read a book, watch tv, listen to music (anything where you are resting and not exerting yourself and most importantly not overly concentrating on it, which can tend to exaggerate it) until any itchiness (if any) stops. It will stop, then go to bed. You will feel restless in bed otherwise.

I have sensitive skin so i have found that with prolonged use, after couple of months even the itchiness has subsided altogether and i very very rarely experience it (only usually when im re-applying after long-time 10-14 days but if applying every 5-7 days it feels fine). Now the burning is different for me, the burning i experienced was only due to solution getting on skin just surrounding arm-pit. So try to avoid doing this. It gets better with time, trust me, to the point all discomfort is either fleeting or goes away!

If its a choice between wearing sanitary pads under my arms, wearing layered clothing, acting socially limited and unable to act spontaneous (ie cant lift arms, cant wear ceratin things, cant go to certain places for long time...due to overall appearance after couple of hours) versus a little itchiness occasionally at night lasting half hour at most (if following above procedure) there is no contest for me.

Good Luck...you and your loved ones will enjoy the new you or the real you no-longer restricted to a sweat controlled life-style!

Summary: Worth the temporary tingling and money!
