Absorbent panty liners is a good protection for sweat in the vagina when you are in a social environment. But be sure to change them frequently as the trapped sweat smells.

Shaving Or Waxing Pubic Hair

Or you might opt for a Brazilian wax aka "Sphynx" bare waxing or Hollywood waxing. You will be completely hairless from belly button to buttocks.

For a more natural look, you can request to have a triangular tuft of hair remaining on the top of the vagina.

Clothing

Wear cotton panties and pants make from natural fibers (cotton or linen) as these materials allow air to circulate. Lace is sexy but you will sweat more. And silk? Give it a miss.

Cotton is cooling so sweat and moisture will dry quickly. Avoid spandex and nylon materials. They trap heat and moisture, thereby encouraging vaginal sweating.

Choose loose clothing on the days you know you will be sweating a lot. Tight clothing makes you feel more hot. Thus you sweat more and your sweat stains will easily show on tight clothes.

Palazzo pants are great choices for summer days as they are make of light material. If you must wear skirts and shorts, make sure they are light and breezy. Avoid denim shorts and tight mini skirts.

Diet

Cut down on sugar, caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods. The breakdown of these foods elevates body heat. Your nether region will sweat more when you are feeling warm all over.

Eat a balanced diet. Include more fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods. Reduce your salt intake and drink at least eight big glasses of water.

A healthy diet not only boost your general health. It controls vaginal sweating and vaginal pimples and bumps as well.

Herbal Remedies For Vagina Sweating

Sage and St John’s Wort can help to reduce excessive sweating. They promote a sense of calmness and serenity when you are feeling anxious or nervous.

As with all herbal remedies it takes time to feel the effect. Give it at least three weeks.

You can make a tea with either sage or St. John’s wort by steeping 1 tablespoon of dried St John’s Wort or sage in a cup of hot water for 5 minutes; add a tablespoon of honey and a wedge of lemon if desired.

Drink these herbal teas in the mornings and evenings and you will feel the difference in a week or two.

Medical Intervention to Control Sweating in the Crotch

Other than natural treatments, sufferers of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating on the palms, soles, face and underarms) have also sought out oral medication, Botox and Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS). Although effective for some sufferers these three medical interventions comes with significant side effects.

Side effects of oral medication include dry mouth, dizziness, blurred vision and urinary problem.

Botox injection causes flu-like symptoms and injection-site pain. Whereas ETS which is a minimally-invasive surgery carries risk of breathing problems and allergic reactions to medicines.

Due to the sensitivity of mucous membranes in the vagina, these three types of medical intervention are not suitable. 

Proper vaginal hygiene, herbal remedies and a balanced diet are still the best solution for reducing vaginal sweating.
