I sweat a lot since I was a teenager. I get some sweat stains under my pits, which doesn’t look great on a shirt.
A good anti-perspirant will get me through most of the day but there are always times when I just start sweating. Maybe it’s because of a stressful day, office temperature never matching mother-nature, running between meetings, and so on.
Then I heard of some sweat-proof undershirts on a site I discovered. I read some reviews for a brand called SweatShield and placed an order online. An order for five shirts for $100 including shipping. Five shirts should get me through a work week.
The shirts are a little weird though. They have a large section underneath the armpit that is a thick pad versus the rest of the shirt that is a thinner, stretchy fabric. It’s kind of like having a maxi-pad under each arm, a little bulky. It isn’t always extremely noticeable, but if you really look close you might notice the slight puffy effect of your undershirt. If a woman uses this shirt it can be awkward if someone goes in for a hug, because they may feel the padding under the arms.
I liked how the stretchy fabric of the rest of the shirt was form fitting and didn’t bunch up around my waist. Bunching often makes the gut I’ve been desperately trying to work off for the past year look like it has a few extra inches than it really does.
I’ve been wearing these shirts for the better part of five months now and I can say they hold up in all situations without a drop of sweat. I’ve worn them with suits and under a dress shirt/sweater combo and no sweat escapes those pockets.
This product works really well for blocking sweat rings under my arms.
