Pit Pads

Posted by: Every Girls Secret on January 25th, 2010

Best invention ever. Finally we can wear tight cotton shirts without looking like “pit city”, USA! I was sweating in my office one day and was debating stuffing tissues in my armpits so I wouldn’t look like a disgusting, sweaty mess. I have been wearing all dark clothing because all my adorable white shirts and sweaters have pit stains after too few wearings. I have tried stain remover, dry cleaning and bleaching, and nothing works. Shouldn’t there be some kind of product you can use like a pad or something to stop the sweating? Yes- there is!

Armpitpads.com was one of the first to pop up in my Google search, and they have an enormous variety of products, including disposable pads that stick on the inside of your shirt, washable pads, and even shirts with pads built in. This is the best thing ever and I can’t believe they aren’t more popular. I especially like the beige ones because they seem less visible when wearing them with my lighter colored shirts- kind of like why you should wear a beige bra instead of white with light clothing. I used them with my cream colored turtleneck one day and pointed out to my female co-worker the genius invention. She said she didn’t notice they were there. They are comfortable, I am comfortable, and I can’t imagine wearing a tight tee or light colored shirt without them- they are as necessary as, if not more, than deodorant in my book for certain clothing items.

Attention waitresses and bartenders– One shirt in particular seemed like it should be a top-seller among us ladies in the service industry. The white collar shirt that so many restaurants make you wear. You are always reaching over people or reaching up for things, and you are running around in and out of hot kitchen- sweating. I have totally stuffed my armpits with toilet paper or tissues when I was too hot and sweating through my shirt, and then been all paranoid that it’s gonna slip down my sleeve in front of someone. Gross and embarrassing. These shirts have these pads built in so you can wash them without continuously spending money on the disposable stickers and they will always look good- until you spill red wine or coffee on it, that is!

Need I say more? This is indeed a best-kept secret if you want to feel “sure” and not “unsure” and is now a must-have product in my collection. There are always a couple spares in my purse for the days I forget. Don’t leave home without them!
