Rimmington's....
I was a very shy 17 year old and worked at a posh and well to do traditional chemist in Bradford city centre, called Rimmington’s (no pun intended!).

I had been working there for about 6 months when a big chap came to the counter and demanded that I “don’t laugh at this, I mean it, don’t laugh!”.

This automatically had me laughing internally but I put on a straight face and asked how I could help.

He told me that he was excessively sweating and again reminded me not to laugh.
This was becoming increasing hard (especially with my two, also young, colleagues stifling giggles beside me).

He went on to explain that his `excessive sweating’ was between his bum cheeks and yet again reminded me not to laugh!

I’d not come across this complaint before and decided to ask the pharmacist what would be most suitable.

I wanted to look professional but I couldn’t think of anything apart from laughing as I had been told not to so much.

I managed to compose myself enough to say that we had a customer suffering from excessive sweating and the pharmacist asked me where. I really couldn’t manage to say between the cheeks without laughing so I pointed to my lower back hoping that this would explain.

The pharmacist recommended a specialist deodorant called Dryclor and I sold this to my customer.

After he had gone, (and the pharmacist was back in dispensary), we all burst out laughing (It had really been building up!) and my colleagues decided to check the small print on Dryclor.

It clearly stated that it was NOT to be used on one’s intimate areas. SHIT!!

I was in fear of reprisals for at least two weeks but luckily he never back to complain about his sore arse!

Personally...
I find talcum powder to work best.
