Check out Thompson Tees. Best thing I ever found for sweaty armpits and they actually work. They are expensive but soooo worth it. Cut down on overall sweating as well as I'm not worried about pit stains. Can usually get a 20% off coupon online. Just Google them.

^ that. Antiperspirant won’t cut it ...
maybe also anti anxiety meds if that’s the source of the issue

Story of my life but not necessarily just around clients.

Hyperhydrosis is just the name of the symptom but doesn’t really tell you the underlying problem. Botox also has risks and is only localized to your pits. Can cause muscle atrophy.

As much as I think doctors don’t know shit (based on the fact they’ve only ever made me worse), I’d still suggest ruling out hormone issues, blood sugar issues, anxiety, and anything else that it could be.

Def stop any stimulants like coffee and tea. Also avoid spicy things. I’m currently getting acupuncture for it. Insurance isn’t covered but there’s a discount program you can look into (my provider doesn’t accept it). Meditation is also helpful.

Good luck!

Just own it. Has a client ever called you out on it?


Didn’t think so. Start every meeting with a comment about how your pits get sweaty when you create value. Then drop knowledge like it’s your job (reality check: that is your job). Once you’re done, zip your dick back in into your pants and thank the clients for their time.

Then, rinse and repeat. Easy

You can absolutely do Botox in your forehead and a competent plastic surgeon can do it. I married one. There is extremely low risk when you find the right doctor and not a Groupon discount deal. Botox is reliable and safe and much better than taking a medication to suppress your sweating

Clinical strength anti perspirant has done me wonders. Hyperhydrosis is definitely a bitch. Talk to your doctor about it. Something tells me it could be anxiety related. Either that, or I just have multiple issues! Either way, recognize that stimulants make things a lot worse

I really don't sweat much but can second the Thompson Tees recommendation. Solid undershirt even if you don't have a problem. Pit stains on dress shirts will never be a thing.

Third on Thompson tees. They were life changing for me

Thanks for the suggestions all! I am about to give Thompson Tees half of today’s paycheck

OP...ever come up with anything?

Testing TV files for Extreme Reach

Is there a website or portal you can use to test TV files before submitting? I have a client who handles their own traffic, so anytime Extreme Reach rejects or even questions something that is not a problem, it gets kicked back and a bunch of clients get CC'd on an email saying: "this failed QA."

At every other agency I've worked on, we would be able to handle any kickback or tweaks internally with zero client involvement. I'd love a way to test files.
