A message from Debbie

 

I suffered from sweaty hands for as long as I can remember. I was embarrassed to be around my family, friends and coworkers. My sweating was serious and negativity affected my quality of life.

In 2003 I contacted a surgeon regarding the ETS surgical procedure. Since I had suffered with this condition all of my life, I was skeptical, but hopeful that someone would be able to cure my sweaty hands. It was explained to me that some patients may develop compensatory sweating afterwards, however it was only a small margin and typically not that bad. With that, I choose to have the procedure. Within hours after the surgery the sweat on my hands had completely disappeared. I was able to type on the computer, play the guitar, pick up archery again, and do so many more things without leaving whatever I touched covered with sweat! I was very excited with the results.

However, a few days later I developed the side effect of compensatory sweating, mainly on my abdomen, chest and mid to lower back.  

For me, it occurs during periods of stress, exercise or being out in the heat. It tends to be moderate to severe and is now my new problem. Basically, the sweat has just moved from one place to another. I was miserable and began to question my decision in having the procedure. After talking with my surgeon, I was told there was nothing I could do. I had to learn to live with this new issue. 

After that news I started designing products to try and help with my compensatory sweating. The two problems that I wanted to address were the sweat that soaks through my clothes and the sweat that constantly flows down my back and abdomen causing me to feel extremely uncomfortable. 

After several years of development I designed a product that changed my life. I am able to exercise, feel more confident during stressful situations, enjoy all summer activities, even vacation in warmer climates. There are times when I need to switch my Sweat Band for a dry one, it just depends on the amount of time I am exposed to the heat, exercise or stress.  

I’m happier now, and much more comfortable. I feel more at ease and confident when I go out in public. This product is by no means a cure. It just makes my life … Better! 

Best wishes,
Debbie
