- In today's video I discuss some benefits, or positives, to living with hyperhidrosis. I hope this video can help someone who is feeling really down about having excessive sweating feel a little less sad about it. Please leave a comment below about a benefit YOU have noticed living with hyperhidrosis!

My wife has sweaty hands and feet. I love it because they feel so soft all the time. I like the feeling on my rather dry lifeless hands on her soft wet hands. I always got tingly when I shook her sweaty palms on our first encounters. She was so embarrassed but I told her on our first date I found it a turn attractive. She was kinda shocked by that. Everyone is different and sometimes things you find gross about yourself can be what draws someone to you. She is really into helping others become ok with hyperhidrosis and I admire that in her. I think we should all embrace our little quirks.
Agree with all of them. Just one thing that happened to me yesterday. I went grocery shopping and noticed a guy walking past me. Unconsciously I thought "the way he walks is really weird,his legs are spaghetti-like", but then I caught myself in those thoughts and started to shame myself for judging someone with a physical disability without even knowing them. I always manage to connect it with HH since I don't want to be judge by others when I sweat for no reason but then again I myself manage to unconsciously judge others in a fraction of a second. I feel bad...
I think its completely human-nature to judge for a split second. It's just an instinct we have, whether it's good or bad. What matters is that you caught yourself and stopped judging him :)
I appreciate you watching very much, have a fantastic weekend!
That’s that empathy kicking in!
Thank you for making this video 🤎 I’ve never laughed at this topic before, made me shed a happy tear too🥲
I’ve had HH my whole life in most of my body and it’s impacted my social life, my love life, my work life, just everything in general and makes me anxious all the time. But I’ve been Learning to accept it and be more confident! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us 🤎🤎 I appreciate you Queen!
Some people call me weird, but honestly, I prefer handshaking people with sweaty hands than dry hands.
Interesting, I've never heard someone say that before! Thank you for watching!
@@SweatyJen he is saying that because he is not suffering from this shitty disease
@@Persiancatbelaa Just 3 days ago, I shaked my friends hand cuz I was about to leave after giving an exam and the way he looked at his hand afterwards😩 Ruined my entire day tbh😩
@@Saud-mt4wi i was in a parlour yesterday for eyebrows
Nd the lady kept on telling me that your hands sweat too much 😭 it kills me everyday
@@Persiancatbelaa I can feel you😭
Ayy sis, thanks for the benefits, I swear student life with HH is so hell, but I feel kinda better now❤️💓❤️
You know what. I've had this all my life in my palms and soles and I have been pretty negative about it all my life. But this opened up my eyes.
I’m so happy to hear that. It’s really easy to feel bad about it because it does really suck. But there is always a silver lining we can find. Thank you so much for watching
Same but i sweat everywhere except my armpits n it’s embarrassing cuz it stinkss
@@bdog9747 that is interesting that your sweat smells. So when you sweat from your hands there is an odor? What does it smell like if I can ask?
@@SweatyJen my hands dont but like down there its the worst , if u have sweaty feet it kinda smells like
And i shower twice a day gets me very insecure
I'm not sure if you intended this to be funny...but my this was hilarious, had me squealing...made me realise that I had literally never come across humour with this topic...so refreshing, takes a ton of weight off the topic, well done lovely girl with this great idea. Looking back over a lifetime of living with this, the benefits come with overcoming the challenge of it (cos oh boy, it is challenging as we all know) that you also mention elsewhere - like more compassion for ourselves and others, seeing what is inside of people not just the shell. One benefit for me is that I can use my hands to cool down my dog in summer :o)
thank you so much for watching!!! this comment made my day
Regarding video game controllers, I wanted to share a tip that has worked perfectly for me over the last 30 years of using game controllers with extremely severe hyperhidrosis with no issues. Find a 100% thin (normal) cotton shirt that feels rough and absorbent and place your hands inside to use the shirt like a glove. It’s very comfortable and you can rotate to dry areas of the shirt. This method has resulted in never having a controller issue, including Nintendo Switch. My daughter has the same issue and uses the same method effectively. You’ll need to avoid any material that feels slick or non absorbent. Different types of cotton will have varying degrees of slickness vs roughness. You want to find the most rough and course cotton material. Sometimes the shirts can become rough over time with age. (Old cotton shirts that have been through the dryer many times work better than new cotton shirts I have found.) Hope this helps someone enjoy gaming a bit more. Animal Crossing is indeed a great game.
Lol always did the same when playing PS ;D
Leather driving gloves do it for me.
nice tip!!! ur daughter is lucky to have you who understands Hh to help her with some tricks. thank you for watching and sharing
Good list! You came up with a lot of benefits I never even thought of, especially like the deeper benefits such as how it shapes who we are and how we think about other people.
I notice the best way to realize the benefits is to see what is hard to do when your hands are dry. For example the other day I was doing a little sewing with a needle and thread and my hands happened to be dry and it was so hard to work with the thread. I couldn't get a grip on it and it kept doing that static electricity thing. Finally I just wet my hands with some water from the sink and then it was so much easier.
Stay healthy! I look forward to the next video!
Hey, collective thanks so much! I appreciate you sharing some of your own experience.
I've been doing my best to stay germ-free and careful lately, but it's been tough. Have a really nice weekend :)
Omg! I have that exact same scuba Barbie! I used to love changing her colour with my hands hahaha. I also remember I had a Barbie with really bad hair, but when I combed it en then just brushed through it with my sweaty fingers and held it for a while, it looked really nice and shiny. Who would've thought greasy hair could look that great :') Also, I've gotten comments on my modest clothes my entire life, especially in the summer. For me, it's not just because of my sweat, but also because I just feel more comfortable in modest clothing. I never really thought of it as an advantage, but I love your point of view. Really nice video, lots of things I had never thought about before c; Stay safe!
Hey Tali, thank you so much! Your comment really warmed my heart ♡
I'm so shocked you had the same Barbie! That one was my FAVE, lol so much fun, and soooo true about the hair!
Im so happy you relate with the modest clothing. I say we embrace this about ourselves, there's nothing wrong with wearing the things we adore :)
Have a nice weekend, stay safe please!
yeah i have this too and rn im wearing gloves cus im too sweaty to type lol. im happy i found your channel because people always called my sweaty hands disgusting but these videos make me feel better :)
my hands feel like they could catch fire some times
Thank-you for creating and sharing this very optimistic and unique video.
As a cranio facial sufferer im sure I read somewhere that our damp, and sometimes oily complexions mean we dont develop wrinkles until much later in life too.
I think my hyperhidrosis forced me to have a better sense of style. People always think I'm stylish because I wear dress shirts all the time. But in reality its only an excuse for me to wear two shirts. I wear them so I could wear an undershirt to absorb my sweat 😂
love it!!!! way to see the silver lining
Brilliant!
I am so fucking happy I found your channel. This video is what I needed. And to add to what you were saying about learning to like things about yourself as a child, for me it's like I hate my hyperhidrosis so much that's mainly what I'm focused on and I don't have the energy to dislike more things about myself lmfaooo
Hey Smokey! Thank you so much for watching and commenting :D
I completely know what you're saying about not having more energy to dislike things about yourself because of being so hyper focused on hyperhidrosis lol, perfectly said!
Thank you so much for saying you're happy you found my channel, that makes me feel FANTASTIC!!!
Have a happy happy weekend!
@@SweatyJen yas you too! stay safe
@@bearboosi I have seen this as well lol! I guess there is something out there for everyone, who would have thought right?
@@SweatyJen haha it's awesome
When you try to play some games on your phone but your controls go whenever they want cause of your sweatiness 😓
You can use a fan to help.
Lol yeah the sweat droplets on the screen make your phone think you're touching it when you're really not hahah. I always like to imagine how much better I'd be at games if my sweat didnt hinder me at all
@@SweatyJen related thoughts
Use water drop touch phone like me it improve your gaming experience
@@Anon_vapist I've never heard of a water drop touch phone, what is it?!?!
for this girl i am so happy right now i love you so much i was so worried for my condition i got bit cheered up !
i love you too! i know it’s so hard!
Off topic but how does hyperhidrosis affect wearing a wedding ring all the time? I’ve always hated wearing rings for this reason because it felt very uncomfortable. I remember this past year’s homecoming i wore a thick silver ring and it bugged me the whole night haha
I love off topic questions!
I think hyperhidrosis does make wearing rings more uncomfortable because our fingers change size more and our skin is more sensitive than an average person (from what I've noticed). My wedding band is sterling silver and my engagement ring is gold which helps, the cheaper metal causes my skin to itch and stuff haha. What was the uncomfortable sensation you noticed?!
Sweaty Jen it wasn’t as much itching as it just was being aware of the water seeping between the decorative holes in the ring and the weird metallic feeling that’s like touching a rusted pole. I have pretty bad ADHD and my hyperhidrosis kind of worsened a habit I have of running my thumb between the gaps in my fingers, so wearing rings definitely makes me more aware of that habit I have and makes the sweating a lot worse.
@@marissfisch I know what you mean when you say rusted pole feeling haha, before I got engaged I never wore rings, because it was just unnecessary discomfort due to my hyperhidrosis. So I avoided them. But once you wear them for awhile, your mind eventually forgets the ring is even there. For now, I would just focus on jewelry that you can wear comfortably. It sucks that we can't do everything a normal person would do, like wear a ring without thinking about it, but it will all be okay! ♡♡
I wanted to ask the same question 😅 Thank you 😊
Nice video... Also the extra sweating helps u lose weight quicker in the gym... Also keep flipping Tru the Bible pages 💚
Thank you!!!!! I needed this.
You're so welcome, thanks for watching! I'm so happy I could help!
❤ 😂
My husband has hyperhydrosis and says the only positive is that no one will touch him when we’re in a crowd, so we just slides through. 😂
Wait what? That’s why my skin is so soft? Thank HH 🥰
The cat one was painfully funny for me. THANK YOU iontophoresis
Jen hi!! I have facial hyperhidrosis,I sweat almost every time and it's affecting my social life 😭 could you please help me? And btw thank you for this video,I needed it!!
Hello, thank you so much I am so happy to hear you enjoyed this video! My deepest sympathy goes out to you, hyperhidrosis is so difficult to live with. I would recommend to meet with a skin specialist/dermatologist to begin with. They will be your best resource for beginning your journey of managing your sweat!
Actually facial HH might be the best form of u think of it, as ur face will never have acne or marks, will be smooth and white, no oils and always moisturized
But also ig it's difficult to manage , I can understand ppl looking ur face simply sweating for no reason is so awkward
First one...spot on
46 and never had a girl this is poo at school first one teacher took me by the hand to the head and i remember to this day what she said i can not do anything and i was sweped under the carpet secondery school 13 age and the school work was well hard the doc said to wait till i grow up and might go away and the things he gave me never did owt and like i said its big time held me back its the worst i find it messes with being cold when you should be hot due to the cold sweat evry were and in the winter when at work were all with the heating on sets mine off like crazy and at night when strip off to get into bed i normaly have a freeze attack lol in the winter i go out side my hands are giveing off balls of steam people thing am jesus makeing a come back and from school i think i began to make people laff to take the atension off my sweat hands i feel for you if its like mine love
Quick question I seen your video of the carpe cream do u still use it to this day and is it really worth the money?
I do not use it, currently. It is worth the money, because it does work! I am thinking about trying it again soon though, I will make a video about it if I begin using it again =) They have an excellent money-back guarantee too so be sure to look into that if you are worried about the financial aspect!
am i the one too ? cat always sweat too much while doing smol act
I love your videos🥰
Loads of love from 🇮🇳
thank you !!!
Hi, a fellow HH sufferer here. I wanted to know how are your treatments going now? Last I heard, you were using iontophoresis + glycopyrrolate. I have iontophoresis with me but I'm also concerned about the side effects of glycopyrrolate. So I wanted to try a combination of them both.
hi i am currently only using a very small dose of glycopyrrolate but may begin ionto again. still deciding! side effects of medicine are less for me with smaller dose, so even though it doesn’t control my sweating as well i am happy to have as little side effects as i can
Jen do you sweat on your palms only ?
Hello! I sweat from my palms, my feet, my armpits, and my groin sometimes. I realized most of the benefits in this video have to do with the palms haha. Thank you for watching, stay safe!
All true
Hello, is there a way to send you an e-mail ?
Yes! SweatyJen@gmail.com ! Please email anytime!
Thanks a bunch! I'll send you an e-mail asap 💚
Me; NO BENEFITS NO
Jen: yes.
Yes
Lol some idiot doctor convinced my drummer. He has hyperhydrosis...... smh my drummer is adhd (he can't stay still) and it perfectly normal to sweat. The human body is perspirating always. Even when you think your not. Not say it's all a south park scam I'm just saying. My drummer does not have this. He just is more active then normal people. So they convinced him that he sweat to much. Smh just saying
i am sure sometimes it can be misdiagnosed. it is nice of you to look into the condition for your drummer friend. it is not fun having Hh
What utter rubbish
