Disposable underarm sweat pads

[LifeIsGoodish]

Does anyone use these to protect their clothes day-to-day? There are lots on Amazon, but always mixed reviews.

I don't want to rustle, and I don't want any added fragrance.

I would want to use them mostly in stretch fabrics, like T-shirts, and in light fabrics, like viscose, as well as cotton.

Can anyone recommend a make?

EnPapillot where did you get it done? Does it last for a long time? Is it completely no wetness?

Hormonal? Yes, that makes sense. It has been increasingly worse since I became peri-menopausal. I found some well-loved and frequently-worn tops of mine from the 80s, and they have been fine to wear. Not a whiff. (Only reason I can still wear them is because the 80s were so baggy!)

I also agree that blocking pores is probably not a good thing to do. Personally, I hate using Driclor and Triple Dry etc. I only do so out of desperation.

I think the toxins thing is believed because of the way certain foods can make you smell - garlic and fenugreek, for example. The skin is, after all, an excretory organ. But the detoxification organs are liver and kidneys. Athletes get their urine tested, not their sweat!

I had a reaction to Crystal Rok so had to give it up.

I've never heard of underarm pads...I assume you need clothing over that area to keep them in.

I dont like wearing clothes without sleeves say when I'm wearing a waterproof coat (or any coat) as I dont want to get sweat on the lining as its not an item I would wash regularily. I suppose there is no way round this

Disposable underarm pads are self-adhesive and stick to the garment, ideal for protecting a jacket if you wear it over something sleeveless.

I am a big fan of crystal deodorant: I have recommended it on a Gransnet thread - Salt of the Earth - no white marks on clothing and really effective.

No idea about the pads I'm afraid. I use tripledry regularly as it's gentler than driclor but when I lapse I get the smelly washed clothes thing. I use washing powder normally but I have a separate bottle of standard equivalent washing detergent that I apply neat to the inside of tops where necessary. I leave it for 30 mins or more, even overnight is fine, then launder as usual. Works a treat.

I switched to Vichy 48h anti-perspirant deodorant (roll-on), which works well for me if I leave it to dry before getting dressed.

I use Halo detergent for my shirts/t-shirts/tops.

I also make a paste of effervescent aspirin and water, which I apply to the underarms of my shirts and then soak them for a little before putting them in the wash. Doing this every so often removes the build-up of stink, and makes them stink-free again!

(Hormones definitely have something to do with it, as I didn't have a problem while pregnant!)

Sorry wineor I forgot I'd posted!

I have it done on the NHS as my hyperhidrosis was so bad. My dad has it done too.

It has honestly changed my life. One treatment lasts around 6-12 months, the effects are immediate and mean I can wear light coloured tops without worrying.

The only thing is that I often get a bit sweaty where I didn't before, but it's definitely worth the trade off!

Cheers enpap worth looking into I think!
