Sweat Shields Can Be A Good Way To Hide An Embarrassing Problem

Sweat Shields...Do They Work? Should I Use Them?

Sweat shields (also called dress shields, underarm shields, or armpit sweat pads) can be an excessive sweater's best friend.

This article is all about sweat shields. It talks why you may want to use them, how to use them, and where you can get them.

Why Should I Use Sweat Shields?

Because they hide excessive sweating, duh.

No, but seriously...As you begin implementing Mechanic Method (what's this?) there will be some time before it starts working.

Until Mechanic Method does stop sweating, you'll need a good way to hide excessive sweating during the buffering phase.

Underarm shields are one of the very best ways to do that.

First of all, nobody is ever going to notice that you're using them! They're completely discreet.

Most armpit sweat pads are disposal. When they get all soaked up, you don't have to wash them! You just take 'em out and toss 'em. Easy.

Also, underarm sweat shields are easy to use. They basically stick to the inside of your shirt. Or they have varieties that are already sewn in.

So with all those benefits listed, you'd be willing to dish out some serious dough for some sweat shields right?

WRONG! The things are cheap! Almost everybody that uses them says it's the best investment of ten bucks ever.

Alright, I'm Sold...Where Do I Get 'Em?

Our most recommended provider of armpit sweat solutions is kleinertsshields.com.

These guys have been making underarm shields as their primary business since 1869!

Do you realize how long of a time that is? They definitely know their stuff.

They've developed a proprietary technology called FabraPel. It is a patented fabric that repels perspiration and moisture.

People say that you can literally put this fabric under a running faucet, and the moisture will not penetrate it.

They mainly have underarm shields and t-shirts with shields sewn into them.

And not just for boys...

...Girls, you can use them too. Kleinert's has women's T's, along with smaller, more discreet underarm shields for tanks and halter-tops.

Another place for women to check out is advantagewear.com.

They have more sweat solutions for women including blouses with the underarm shields already sewn into them.

They divide their inventory into casual, fashion, and blouses.

Both places have sport shirts and athletic apparel for both men and women.

Their sweat-resistant technology seems to be similar to Under Armour's. They claim that it's actually better.

Even if you don't necessarily play sports, get the sportswear anyway. It obviously absorbs sweat very well. You may not even need separate underarm shields.

The way we used to use underarm shields was we used to get the t-shirts with the shields already sewn in.

We got them usually from Kleinert's. We would simply wear a t-shirt underneath of whatever other shirt we were wearing.

On hot days, we would just wear a t-shirt by itself.

This is obviously better for guys than girls. Most girls want to be all fashionable.

But still girls, you can wear a t-shirt under a lot of outfits. Or even a t-shirt by itself for the casual, "not trying too hard" look. Guys dig that, don't you guys?

Try it out.

A manufacturer of underarm shields that is gaining popularity is sweatex.com. Their's are very inexpensive. They're disposable, too. And word on the street is, they work pretty well.

Of course, any sweat shield you use will feel wet and awkward the first few times. But you're going to be wet anyway. At least this way sweat isn't visible to others.

Some Suggestions For Sweat Shields

Always bring extras along. Keep some in your car. At your desk. In your locker. Your gym bag. Whereever, just make sure you have them.

Very few things feel better than changing from a soaked sweat guard into a nice, dry one.

Oh, and a word to the wise:

If you begin using sweat guards and you like them, STOCK UP.

I have heard countless stories of people running out of sweat shields when they need them most. Usually it happens at a time when the chances of getting one are slim to none.

BEGIN STORY...This one time our friend Darrel who has big-time excessive armpit sweat was in Europe on vacation with his these girls he knows.

He brought all the underarm shields he had at his house. He had enough to have one pair for everyday, and a few leftover.

Make a long story short, he wished to God that he would've had more underarm sweat shields at his house. He ran out around the middle of his vacation.

He got online and tried to find some. He went to all types of hyperhidrosis support forums and tried to locate some people near him in Europe.

He didn't have much luck. Moral of the story: Stock up on sweat shields!!...END STORY
