In this article, we sit down with the two creators of Sweaty Swaggy to discuss what led them to start a blog for people with hyperhidrosis. Here’s what they have to say.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Sweaty Girl Society: Tell us about Sweaty Swaggy! What is it and who is it for?

Sweaty Swaggy: Sweatyswaggy.com is a personal blog created by the two of us — both of us suffer from hyperhidrosis. Our blog shares fashion tips for people with hyperhidrosis with the aim of making life a little easier. It’s meant for anyone who feels uncomfortable due to their sweating and wants to learn how to manage it. The blog was launched in 2018, but there have been periods of times when we took breaks from posting new content.

Sweaty Girl Society: Very cool! So, what led you to start Sweaty Swaggy?

Sweaty Swaggy: As hyperhidrosis sufferers, we’re always trying new things — whether that’s testing out new clothes or trying new ways to adapt to situations. We started our blog to share the ideas, tips, and tricks that have worked well for us — or at least those that had a positive impact on us.

Sweaty Girl Society: Can you share a bit about your personal journeys with hyperhidrosis? 

Sweaty Swaggy: It all started when one of us, as a teenager, started dripping from almost everywhere. Several years later, this excessive sweating was diagnosed as palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis. The other one of us developed generalized hyperhidrosis with a focus on the feet (plantar hyperhidrosis). We both started looking for solutions.

Sweaty Girl Society: How does Sweaty Swaggy help other people who have hyperhidrosis?

Sweaty Swaggy: We try to help others by sharing our personal experiences with products, devices, and treatments. We also share tips on how to adapt your fashion style if you have hyperhidrosis.

Sweaty Girl Society: That’s amazing! What has been the most rewarding aspect of creating a blog that caters to the hyperhidrosis community?

Sweaty Swaggy: Helping a fellow hyperhidrosis sufferer in any regard is really rewarding, as we see a lot of people struggling with hyperhidrosis. We provide tips and tricks to help ease the impact of excessive sweating, and every reaction or comment we get from readers saying that our ideas helped, makes us happy.

Sweaty Girl Society: What’s your favorite topic to write about?

Sweaty Swaggy: If we could only choose one, it would be writing about our personal experiences with hyperhidrosis treatments and devices. We enjoy sharing our experiences and using them to create guides on how to manage sweat.

Sweaty Girl Society: What are three of your favorite posts on your blog?

Sweaty Swaggy: Our favorite blog posts are:

1. The 5 Steps to Treating Your Hyperhidrosis – It’s an old post, but we like it because it’s meant to help people with hyperhidrosis who can’t make a decision about which treatment option to start with. We like to tell people to never start with a 4 or 5 before trying the previous options.
2. Breathable Fabrics to Help You Reduce or Hide Sweat (13 Fabrics Reviewed) – This post talks about breathable fabrics and how they can be combined and used.
3. How to Prevent Sweat Stains? 24 Tips to Save Your Day and Clothes. This is a fan favorite!

Sweaty Girl Society: What’s your vision for the future of Sweaty Swaggy?

Sweaty Swaggy: Our vision is to reach as many people as possible. Also, based on our experience with clothing products for people with hyperhidrosis, we might try launching our own brand of undershirts that are hopefully not as expensive as the ones on the market currently.

Sweaty Girl Society: Great stuff! Ok, where else can people find you?

Sweaty Swaggy: In addition to our blog, people can also find us on Facebook.

Oh, and on Pinterest!

Sweaty Girl Society: Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! In closing, what’s your hyperhidrosis motto?

Sweaty Swaggy: Don’t hide in the shadows. You are not alone!
