Sweating is something everyone does. Most people do not want to talk about it.
DeSweat exists because for some people, sweat is not a minor annoyance. It turns up at the worst moments. Job interviews. Social plans. Long workdays. Sports sessions. Travel days. Hot weather. Cold weather. Stressful moments. Calm ones. Sometimes with no clear trigger at all.
If that sounds familiar, you are not unusual. You are exactly who this site is for.
Why DeSweat Exists
DeSweat focuses on excessive sweating and hyperhidrosis. The aim is simple. Help you understand what is going on and what people actually do to manage it.
That includes:
- Why sweating happens
- Why it affects people differently
- What tends to be considered normal
- What usually crosses the line into a problem
- What options people commonly try in real life
This site is not about miracle fixes or pretending sweat can be switched off. It is about making sense of something that is often awkward, frustrating, and easy to dismiss if you are not dealing with it yourself.
Who’s Behind DeSweat
I’m Matt.
My interest in sweating did not come from a medical background. It came from everyday life.
I spent years working in hospitality. Long shifts. Hot environments. Constant pressure. Sweating was part of the job whether you liked it or not. Add regular sport into the mix, including hockey, football, golf, and snowboarding, plus frequent travel across different climates, and sweat stopped being theoretical very quickly.
At some point, I started asking a basic question. How can I sweat less?
That question led to a lot of reading, a lot of research, and plenty of trial and error with everyday strategies. Over time, I started pulling together medical guidance, lived experience, and practical advice in a way that was easier to understand.
How Content Is Put Together
Content on DeSweat is built by combining a few things:
- Practical, lived experience
- Medical guidance and published research
- How people describe sweating in day to day situations
- How factors like stress, activity, clothing, and environment change how sweat shows up
Some topics need extra care. This is especially true for subjects like under-boob sweat, groin sweat, feminine hygiene, or hormonal changes. In those cases, the content is shaped by research, medical sources, and shared lived experience within my household, while keeping one thing clear. Everyone’s experience is different.
What DeSweat Is and Isn’t
DeSweat is:
- Informational
- Practical
- Experience led
- Honest about limits
- Focused on understanding options
DeSweat is not:
- Medical advice
- A replacement for professional care
- A collection of miracle claims
- A disguised product review site
I am not a medical professional. When a topic moves into medical territory, the goal is to explain what something is and why it might matter, not to tell you what to do. When it makes sense to speak to a professional, that is said plainly.

Sweating is normal. Struggling with it is common. Talking about it should not feel uncomfortable.
If you have ever wondered whether it is just you, it almost never is.
