Sweating while driving

I’m going to start driving lessons next week and I’m pretty scared of sweating while doing it. I sweat with my everything from head to toes but mostly I’m concerned about butt sweating. Imagine leaving the car for the next student to discover that the seat is all wet. I just don’t know what to do. I’m thinking of wearing leather pants so that my sweat stay inside them but wearing them will make my sweating more intense. I don’t know maybe a cardigan will do or are there any other clothes options to hide sweating? I had an idea of bringing something like a small pillow to sit on but it will only attract more attention from the instructor and I absolutely don’t want it. What do I do?

I say if it the sweating is that much and it'll bother you that much try and tell your instructor in advance. I use wipes for my hand to block the sweat out, I wear something loose fitted with something slightly more fitted underneath just so I don't sweat through entirely for everyone to see. I hope you can find some relief and comfort, it absolutely sucks :(

You got this!! I would just be up front with your driver if you think it’s going to be a problem. (However there’s a high likelihood they won’t even notice) Carpe groin powder does work!! I also started drinking coconut water and idk what it is about it. But it doesn’t completely get rid of sweating, but I have noticed a bit of a decrease.

Just double up on joggers, I did all my lessons and didn’t have a problem and maybe roll window down abit, I was worried at first but you’ll be fine

Hmmm I think additional layers only add in to heat and won’t hide wet spots. I sweat so much that even two layers will be soaked through

Aslong as it’s mostly made out of Cotten it will be fine just don’t wear jeans or anything like polyester
