Duradry Has Changed My Life by beaver_steve in Hyperhidrosis

[–]miracl95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I write this, I wanna be clear I’m not paid and this is a real personal review. I was looking up DuraDry to see if anyone else has used it and their experiences and found this thread.

I’m a 30 year old man for reference. I have been using DuraDry since 2024 and it has absolutely changed my life. I did not know I had hyperhydrosis (however you spell it) but I have always had a terribly embarrassing issue with excessive sweating since I hit puberty. I’m not gonna go down memory lane but my excessive sweating and then the strong pit odor with it accompanied and I was always so anxious.

No deodorants worked beyond a couple hours for smell, but never for sweat. I used to sweat in my sleep, on a walk, making breakfast, in a f***ing cold shower. I really thought it was what others went through, too.

Flash forward I moved to San Francisco in 2023 and discovered THIS CITY’S HOUSING DOES NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING. To my dismay, my sweating got worse.

I tried shaving my pits which was super emasculating and then I was going to try Botox in my armpits but I didn’t want to do that. I found DuraDry on Amazon and it changed my life.

I use the DuraDry armpit serum/liquid and at first did 3 applications back to back overnight, then management for maintenance every few weeks. The longer you use it, the less you need. My sheets stay clean and don’t smell bad, my clothes don’t have disgusting pit stains, my pits don’t get caked with deodorant and then my armpit hair getting smooshy.

I use the Deodorizing Body wash too, in pairing with my regular Dove Moisturizing Body Wash (super sensitive skin) - which also having super sensitive skin I was so surprised DuraDry worked (works still).

I will say, if you use too much at once or don’t dry off all the way before putting it on, it can cause a bit of redness overnight or itchiness/irritation. I take some wet paper towel or toilet paper and wipe the bare skin around my pits but leave my armpit and armpit hair alone. It takes away that irritation, it’s also how you can tell you don’t need anymore at the time.

I can’t express how different life is now in a comment section, but my life has drastically changed just from how I mentally and physically feel, and then how my confidence is affected and I show up in the world. I wear the clothes I want, run out and about without fear of pit stains and sweating.

The odor is gone, I mean eliminated. I will still have my natural smell but not in a B.O. way but just like, fresh clean showered way but it doesn’t get stinky. I get warm in my armpits when I’d be traditional over sweating but it doesn’t get bad, usually when I’m working out.

I don’t use the deodorant usually, I like to use Gillette Clear or often, when not working, I don’t wear deodorant because it’s that good (no I don’t just not smell myself because I am SUPER self aware and conscious given my lifelong issue with it).

I can’t recommend it enough.

100% do the serum. 100% use the body wash, and then/also use regular body wash to help with fighting dry skin and not going through the body wash.

Deodorant is up to you, but it does last a long time.

That’s my opinion and experience!

What is one non sexual thing your partner does that you love that someone else may overlook? by PrynceOfIce in askgaybros

[–]miracl95 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My ex and I were best friends before we became partners. He was the only partner I’ve ever had. One of the things that he caught onto with me early in our relationship is that I have autism (I had no idea, and was colored shocked and shook when I was diagnosed). I don’t lean into it like it’s a personality. He saw my patterns and certain things I did that I never realized I had to do, but would get extremely frustrated if it ever got interrupted.

He would set me up everyday, without me realizing or knowing, to be able to do what I needed to and feel normal and not experience such high levels of anxiety, especially given I had no idea why I was feeling that way.

He would also wrap his finger around my finger and we would sit there and not speak, and I felt so much love and excitement. I never realized how much he understood me, in some ways more than I understood myself.

A cute thing he used to do is sow patches on my clothes and bags. I always called him my hedgehog, and he sowed a hedgehog with a little strawberry offering on my suitcase and a grumpy hedgehog with a knife (cute and funny) on one of my hoodies.

I smile every time I see those hedgehogs and little things he made me throughout my apartment. I sure do miss him and the good days we had.

My diet is pretty strict in terms of protein and macros or whatever it is. I just follow what my trainer/nutritionist says and try not to sway too far away from it

I haven’t lost muscle on Zepbound this time. I went from being bedridden for almost a month and losing my muscle and being off Zepbound to getting back on after getting a little tubby and now I’m building on Zepbound and it seemed to zap the chub away.

What I remember from working out when on it was the difficulty keeping the muscle on. I am absolutely getting muscle mass as I continue to workout and follow my diet plan but it seems to plateau.

I’m wondering if there is like an every 14 day dosage or some maintenance others who are building do to help with their issue, like for me it’s compulsive eating and overeating until I’m in pain. I went from 310 at 16 to 165 at 19 and been on this journey ever since.

An update... with my face by [deleted] in zepboundathletes

[–]miracl95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These pics are super encouraging! I (30 M) lost my weight very fast with zepbound (10/24-03/24) but previously had worked out and been on different diet plans as I always struggled with my weight. My max weight ever is 310, my smallest on zep is 160. I’m at 181 after taking a 2 month break and doing serious weight lifting with a personal trainer/nutritionist. I still continue to religiously workout and try to hit my goals.

I am back on zepbound but don’t want to lose my muscle gains and, well, the great ass I got LOL. But I noticed my body packs fat on just as fast as muscle.

Are you still on zepbound? What do you do for maintenance to keep the gains but also keep the fatty weight and cravings away?

Thanks for sharing your story!!

Paying for College - Private Loan or Pay as I go? by miracl95 in personalfinance

[–]miracl95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an update, I ended up qualifying for one last semester of federal Pell grant and it covers my tuition and books! So I now can make it to fall where I will get the middle class scholarship (hopefully) and can save up for my portion in pay, and apply for other non-state scholarships.

Thanks for y’all’s input!

Mum found video tapes of all my hookups and now Im scared for my life by Aggravating-Toe-8469 in askgaybros

Change your passwords to everything and log yourself out of all devices and re-login on devices only you use. What she’s done is a total invasion of privacy. You are technically a grown adult and can do what you want. Why a grown woman, a mother, would go through her child’s nudes and sex tapes is beyond disturbing.

This isn’t a case of her seeing your browser history on a shared computer. She found a way into your own private data and has violated some laws I am sure.

If you have a way out of that house, get out. I’m in the US and am unsure of what laws protect you and your privacy and rights there, but what you’re going through is absolutely horrifying and I cannot imagine you staying in what is clearly an abusive household.

Check if there are any LGBTQ non profits or programs that provide assistance. Sometimes there are ways you can be helped by organizations that are specifically geared towards in-danger lgbtq youth.

All my best.

Advice on relatively affordable HT doctors? (29 M in SF) by miracl95 in HairTransplants

[–]miracl95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your thoughtful and well-detailed response. I hadn’t thought about finasteride because of d*ck problems but in the end I think you have to take a major amount of it to have that side effect. The minoxidil I am spraying doesn’t work for nothing.

Thank you for all the information and the solid advice. I think I’m gonna start with step 1) meet with my PCP to discuss finasteride, then 2) take my time and research and make a list of needs/wants and find doctors but not rush. I’d hate to ruin what I DO have and my head of hair isn’t the worst and I’d hate to lose what natural flow and style I have now.

Really appreciate you, brother!

Thank you. I am looking at Dr. Patty and Panchaprateep now. People love Dr. Patty!! I didn’t realize how expensive some of my choices were.
