**So…I really dislike living in TN. right now… as I’m still acclimating from Seattle weather to this hot, sticky, humid weather. We have had a few really beautiful days lately but I KNOW what’s coming soon.** **I have read a few posts on the guys side about this as well and I am curious as how I should go about keeping the pheros on my skin longer in this heat and humidity. I read in a few places about using fixatives such as petroleum jelly , etc. I’m not really all about gettin greased up in this weather and shinin’ on like a diamond in the sun! LOL. I wear as little clothing as I can legally and morally get by with 😛 I’m very warm blooded as it is so my pheros tend to dissipate a bit quickly.BUT UNDERSTANDABLY!** **I wish we could make em waterproof too.😃** I did figure a way to make it temporarily waterproof and so far it warks. But if you have more than one application point for more than one phero…no go. I used Tegaderm clear adhesive patches for wrist and/or inside elbow apps…someplace not as obvious…even on the back of my neck. They are completely clear all the way to the edges…so it just looks like your skin mostly. That way I could still enjoy swimming and the Jet-ski, etc. and not COMPLETELY lose what I applied. The Tegaderm breathe well but I figure little to NO diffusion thru it …just kept a barrier that might help it from being washed off my skin right away. Even the adhesive didn’t seem to remove much from my skin when I peeled them off. Just hoping someone might have some good advice for humid/hot regions for longer lasting applications. oh…and noobs for this tropical type weather..DUH 🆒 Thanx all ~M~ * * * ---

Instead of a petroleum jelly, try a body lotion. It’ll reduce diffusion a bit, but that’s what you want. Maybe even a scented one to use as a cover. Oh, and post a picture dressed in as little as legally and morally possible.🙄😃 ---

Copulins really tends to hang around in heat and humidity- in fact you might want to reduce your dose a bit if it’s hot and humid enough as it will diffuse better, maybe too much. It’s a very clingy scent so it’s probably last a long while- it survives a little light washing so I imagine a little sweat would do nothing to it, especially if you cover it with a fragrance. [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) and androstenols in alcohol form are less persistant. Just use less, more often. Oils seem to handle heat better and resist washing off, too, however I’m not sure there are all that many female oil pheromones. Eventually you can get used to some of the heat and it will bother you less. Also, wearing lightweight clothing or certain polyesters is the way to go as it will move sweat away from your skin. Cotton in heat isn’t so good because cotton fibers swell when they get wet and don’t move moisture away from your skin as well. Even light wool is better than cotton in heat and humidity. ---

welcome to the swampwest, (yes it is very muggy around here) the best advice I can give for sweat proofing is apply Phero’s to places you do not sweat as much from, (wrists mainly) Hair is also a good place as it typically stays cooler and drier than your skin when in the Sauna of outside. for swimming and sport, I would suggest spraying your cover-up, t-shirt or something that is not going to be soaked. I don’t know enough about the skin patches to know for sure, but if air can pass through I am guessing pheromone molecules can too. Typically the beach or boating is to windy for [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) to be effective so you would be wasting the application, it would be better to put them on when you freshen up for the party at night anyway. (mixing them into a body lotion would be easiest to conceal when putting more on) ---

I have been using this “hair conditioner” technique recently during those hot days and it seems to work. I use this “after shower hair conditioning cream” like crazy when my hair is dry. And then I [spray pheromones](https://a314.com/product-category/spray-pheromones/) (and it lasts a whole day for me). It’s important to condition your hair if you’re planning to spray alcohol based pheros or your hair will dry out and start falling. ---

I wonder if a spray suncreen would work if mixed together. That way you would get the slower diffusion and waterproofing. I’ll have to try it myself. I like your idea too msselva another I’ll have to experiment with once we’re out on the lake. As always mix in small amounts so you’re not wasting much if it fails. Have fun! ---

> [@inkling](#): > > I wonder if a spray suncreen would work if mixed together. That way you would get the slower diffusion and waterproofing. Yes, it does work… at least for me. I use Neutrogena Helioplex. It also sort of mutes fragrances a bit, so I assume it’s doing the same thing to pheromones, probably due to ingredients like silicones and cyclomethicones, etc. It’s almost like the difference between wearing a perfume oil and an alcohol fragrance in what kind of effect it gives- slower diffusion and less of a blast, so you might not like the effect. ---

Do you mean condition hair normally like with every shower/shampoo or add extra as a leave-in and use when you apply the pheros? I usually spray my hair at least once because it stays longer and cooler in the Florida heat, like Woofie said. I feel you on getting used to climate change Mystrys. I’m originally from London and I hate heat and humidity. yuck ---

I use it as “as a leave-in” (not the shampoo-conditioner combo!) they sell this stuff to prevent dry hair or something lol I buy mine from mmu, called “on the mend”. But like I mentioned, I use it since my hair dries out sometimes. But it depends on what type of hair you have, oily, normal, or dry. If your hair is normally oily then you wouldn’t need so much conditioning. I didn’t mean to freak you or anybody out.😉 But I would be careful when spraying alcohol to your hair since it could dry out and cause damage. ---

All great advice folks…thank you very MUCH!! I get the body lotion trick…tried to cut back because I already feel like a walking oil slick in the sun. I may try the Helioplex since I am a Neutrogena girl. I have had to cut out any facial make-up with the exception of eyeliner and mascara with a bit of lip gloss since most of it I have found just melts and runs down my face or leaves nasty patches.It’s really been a bitch since my bellydance costumes include a bit of make-up and I don’t seem to look just right without it. _sigh_ I’ll get along with things eventually.Get all the kinks worked out. And woofie2…as far as having a place that sweats less…NOT HAPPENING TO ME HERE! LoL! I didn’t sweat before..maybe perspire some…now I SWEAT!! LIKE AS MAN! hehehehe anyway..yes..wrists and I took the advice I had read before and been using pheros in my hair, so thanks msselva for the leave-in tip. I’ll add a bit to mine since it to is suffering from the frizz and dryness of the oh so lovely South. I get a daily halo just by going outdoors. Humidity is NOT my friend. And here I thought I was gettin the halos special cuz I’ve been so good… Ya guys ROCK! Thanks again. ~M~ * * *
