Living with hyperhidrosis is no walk in the park. Excessive sweating presents daily challenges and frustrations, and it’s all too common to feel alone and isolated.
That’s where a hyperhidrosis community can help.
Joining a hyperhidrosis community offers many benefits. For women, a hyperhidrosis community can be a place to find emotional support, hyperhidrosis hacks, hyperhidrosis resources — and even a place to develop friendships with other hyperhidrosis sufferers.
If you’re interested in finding a hyperhidrosis community to join, we’ve compiled a list of the top online hyperhidrosis communities for women.
Top hyperhidrosis communities for women
1. Sweaty Girl Society Community
About the community
Sweaty Girl Society’s Community is a FREE online membership community designed specifically for women.
Free to join, it invites members to show up as themselves — without shame or embarrassment — and participate in discussions, ask for advice, share their experiences with others, and feel less alone.
Inside the community, members will find:
- Lively discussion forums
- Sweaty survival tips
- Sweaty girl stories
- Discount codes for hyperhidrosis products
- The latest hyperhidrosis research and news
What makes the community special
This community is special because it’s the only free online community that we’re aware of dedicated to women with hyperhidrosis.
That means it’s a space to discuss hyperhidrosis topics more widely, but also those unique ones that tend to pertain to women. Although hyperhidrosis affects men and women in many of the same ways, there are specific challenges women face.
