Embarrassing question #1

JoDoc

I have 2 questions, quite embarrassing and I hope some of you have some ideas for me.  

I have found that I tend to sweat when it's warm out.  Yeah, that's normal, but I sweat in my crotch area.  Like, if it's hot out it can look like I've peed myself.  This is quite embarrassing as I have NOT peed myself, I know it's just sweat, but I feel like an idiot because I can't seem to find a "cure" or something that will help.  I'm going to be working outside for 5 days coming up here soon and dress accordingly, so I know I'm not overheated because of my clothing.  I wear light weight shorts and cotton panties, shorts aren't too tight, etc.  Any ideas?  What can I do to help this embarrassing problem?  TIA

We call it swamp crotch around my house All I can recommend is a good absorbent pad. I have not been able to find a fix in my last pregnancy nor in this one. It is awful though and feels so uncomfortable!

Yeah, I'm not pregnant anymore.  I've almost always had this problem.  My boys are 8 months old now.

I think everyone is pregnant right now, sorry :P

My DH says to use gold bond spray powder - never tried it myself though.

I bought Secret deodorant just for that area. I find that I sweat wear my legs meet my pubic area... So I load up on the deodorant in that area. I also wear a light pad and change at every bathroom break.

I have that problem even when I'm not pregnant, lol. I try to wear a loose outer layer in a dark color with leggings (bike sort of length) under. I also don't wear shorts ever but that's just cause I hate women's shorts; they are either too short or too frumpy.
