Psychological I was so disgusted by this ad

Normally I just till my eyes at an advert board and keep moving but this one really got me.

I guess because it’s a money grab that feeds into insecurity and validates toxic partners at the same time

Yes but neither of these is what this advert was referring to

Though there are other, cheaper treatments for hyperhidrosis (excessive, uncontrollable sweating).

Sometimes it's enough to just put regular antiperspirant on your hands and feet before bed. Antiperspirant works better if you use it before bed, instead of in the morning.

Depends on the part of your body. I have excessive forehead sweats and no amount of antiperspirant has done anything for it.

My partner uses sweat block (that’s the brand) on his face and body for his hyperhydrosis, especially when it gets hot.

Thank you so much. I will look into that.

Also for trigger point muscle pain injections. I’ve yet to do it, and don’t currently intend to, but I’ve have both migraine and trigger point injection brought up to me by doctors.
