Cat's outta the bag. Girls sweat (gasp!). Here are favs for keeping cool and dry during the season of sweat.

When all else fails, go commando with Miss Oops Nundies. These little wonders are made of nylon and Lycra and simply adhere to the inseam of your pants. No panty lines, no underwear creepage and dare we say, no sweat. $9.99 for packs of seven at Glam Lounge and missoops.com.

Never leave home without 24/7 Facial Blotting Tissues. This hands-down SpaGirl favorite is a handy pack of all-natural rice papers that sop up excess oil in three formulations. $7.49 at Mozaik Skin & Body in Scottsdale and select Ulta stores.

You know that magical time of the day after your shower and before you put on your makeup when you just can't stop sweating? Cool your jets with a blast of LATHER Cucumber & Ginseng Facial Mist. Keep it in the frig and pop in your cooler when you're heading out to the pool. $14 at lather.com and the LATHER store at Kierland Commons.

For skin that's dewy not drenched, the new Bliss Naked Body Butter Lite is fast-absorbing and super light weight and banishes reptile skin. $29 at blissworld.com and Bliss Scottsdale at the W Hotel.

A spritz of Payot Deodorant Douceur Spray goes a long way to reduce the dreaded B.O. by controlling perspiration all day long. Enriched with soothing botanicals, you can squirt it all over from the neck down to counteract the sweat. $30 at Spa Avania at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale and other select salons and spas.

They aren't your grandmother's pit pads. The Pure Style Girlfriends Haute Stuff is an ultra-thin disposable liner that adheres to the underarm of your top to stop the wet spot. $17 at purestylegirlfriends.com.

When your perspiration takes on a personality of its own, it's time to call in the sweat-free power of Certain Dri Antiperspirant. Apply it a few times per week at bedtime to prevent the sweat. $5.95 at drugstores and mass retailers.

Over-shampooing can lead to dry tresses but sweaty scalp makes hair look oily. Counteract head sweat with Biolage scalptherapie Cooling Mint Oil Control Treatment, which purifies the scalp of excess oil and impurities. $10 at select Valley salons. Visit matrix.com for retail locations.

Foot powders are effective but messy. To combat foot funk, try Fragrant Footings Insoles, which with each step, release microscopic bursts of the dry, natural aromas of lemon, mint or jasmine. $11-$15 at summersoles.com.
